I’ve been a delinquent poster as of late. However, I took some photos over the past few days so that I can at least resume my Daily Photo posts.  Look for some Book Reviews in the near future and after a week or two I should be up to writing some posts about my adventures in the study of Yoga, Thai Yoga Bodywork (and Tok Sen), and Kalaripayattu.

This was taken at the art station that runs along MG Road between MG Road Station and St. Mark’s Road. This area displays a mix of permanent and temporary exhibits. This exhibit, made out of sand, obviously fits in the latter category. It consisted of seven prominent man-made creations. (While the display poster referred do the  seven wonders, some of the depictions were part of the traditional seven wonders–e.g. the Great Wall, Taj Mahal, and the Roman Colosseum, and others were not–e.g. the Eiffel Tower and Statue of Liberty.)

My apologies for being delinquent in posting this past week. I had the first set of tests for my yoga teacher training certification course yesterday, a Toksen workshop out-of-town last weekend, and–on top of all of life’s little happenings–my internet access by computer was only sporadically operational. [And I find posting from a phone to be painfully tedious.]

However, I’ve finished a few books for review, and have lots of thoughts to share about yoga teacher training, Toksen (a Thai massage method using a wooden mallet and chisel), and Kalaripayattu (an Indian martial art for which I’ve been taking lessons.) I’ll try to get busy on writing up some posts after I get some rest.

I spent the weekend at an Ashram south of Bangalore learning Toksen, which is a bodywork method indigenous to Chiang Mai, Thailand.

There will be no Daily Photo tomorrow as I am going out-of-town to learn Toksen–a variant of Thai Yoga Bodywork that involves the use of a wooden mallet and wedge (chisel.)
