The Spiritual Teachings of Yoga

I was given a book on the spiritual philosophy behind yoga way back in 2001 when I first started practicing yoga. I didn't read the book properly for quite a few years. It somehow seemed too alien with detailed explanations on Eastern religions.

When I was tidying up my place a couple of weeks ago, I picked up the book again. This time around I could not stop reading the book - it is so full of guidance and wisdom that anyone could benefit from reading it. The book discusses yoga as a tool for acquiring spiritual enlightenment, as a vehicle for making the body, mind and spirit unite so that one can have a fulfilling life on this planet.

Anyone whom is practicing yoga or intrigued by it should definitely give the book a go!

NGOs for refugees

I went to a training session for NGOs and community groups working in London with refugees. The session was aimed at bringing professionals and practitioners together from different organisations in order to share good practice, network and learn about effective ways of engaging with local schools or other educational establishments.

I got t know about several NGOs doing valuable work across London. I share here all of their websites for anyone who is interested in knowing more about their work:
