Love yoga – energy 4 body & mind

Mhhhh, niiiiice, 2day was such a sweet day, I simply feel  g r e a t  🙂     Despite the way-too-many hours behind the computer I still managed to get out and refill my energy tanks by a beautiful evening yoga class @ beer’s health club & dancing studio, THE coolest fitness studio in DA WORLD 🙂  

It was quite an advanced, pretty straining 90 minutes but hey, the feeling afterwards is indescribable. One of my favourite poses is without a doubt the headstand… yes, it’s a wonderful way to flush the head and I simply love looking at the world from different perspectives  –  literally 🙂   !!

At the end we ‘sang a sanskrit’  (Sanskrit is the classical language of Indian and the liturgical language of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism. It is also one of the 22 official languages of India. The name Sanskrit means “refined”, “consecrated” and “sanctified”. It has always been regarded as the ‘high’ language and used mainly for religious and scientific discourse.  Today it is mainly used in Hindu religious rituals as a ceremonial language for hymns and mantras just like in Yoga!).

The sanskrit went like this:

Lokah samasta
Sukhino bhavantu
Om shanti shanti shanti

and translates into:

May all creatures be happy and free and may my actions contribute to the luck and well-being of all !
