Yoga classes and workshops in Bangkok, Thailand: March 2008 newsletter for Yoga Elements Studio!
Greetings!
Hello and welcome to the slightly belated March newsletter- I just returned from teaching yoga workshops in the outlaw state of Johor Baru, Malaysia. I call it “outlaw” because apparently the crime rate of car jackings, muggings, and purse snatchings there is quite high. I didn’t notice anything aside from a fat bank security guy loading his shotgun and eyeing me suspiciously. Gulp. I have this world-view that the more yoga I do, I eliminate the likelihood of being randomly mugged or shot. Naïve? Perhaps. There is scriptural reference for that notion however; supreme teacher Patanjali says that when you master the first social rule of nonviolence, peace will manifest spontaneously around you. Shane and I were just invited to teach yoga in Afghanistan so I’m hoping for a very wide circumference of peace.
While I don’t get in bar-fights or openly curse people, I do kill mosquitoes and still get annoyed with random stupid things. I do think the yoga is helping though, without it, I might just be a soccer hooligan or punk gangster in some inner city gang. Or maybe not.
As far as learning how to wipe out your own past-life karmas, tune into a few of my blog posts about samadhi, mental impressions, and meditation. Yoga firmly suggests that you can liberate yourself from your past-life baggage AND become Self-realized in this life-time. To become “self-realized” is to become aware of yourself as the undying, bliss-consciousness that illuminates ALL living beings; you, me, your dog, and yes, even the mosquitoes.
I’m busy designing some new focus workshops, as I will soon be giving workshops in Switzerland, Czech Republic, the Singapore SUN festival, and the upcoming Moscow Yoga Journal conference. For me, I derive much inspiration from Paddy McGrath and Dr. David Frawley, and Cyndi Lee. Speaking of which, take a listen to my latest podcast interview with Cyndi Lee here. Next month I will be releasing an interview with Dr. David Frawley!
Sincerely,
Adrian Cox

It’s not until June, but I’m going to tell you this early: consecutive teacher trainings with:Nicky Knoff and Andrey Lappa. If you are intelligent, have time, and have money, you will most certainly avail yourself of these. Andrey Lappa blew my mind when I studied with him last year at Evolution in Hong Kong. Both of these two are world-class. Now finally a plug for two friends with related business:
Maha Shivaratri Yagya -6 march 2008
A Vedic pundit I know outside of Rishikesh, India is offering his services for Vedic ritual. On auspicious days he conducts Vedic fire sacrifices on the benefit of those who request them. We have them once a year at elements to clear the energetic patterns and atone for negative karma. These beautiful rituals are performed by trained Vedic priests, who chant mantras and offer ghee, flowers, herbs, and special woods into a sacrificial fire. The upcoming date of Shivaratri (the night of Shiva) is a particularly auspicious date, as it is said that due to the planetary alignment, your thoughts and mantras are magnified 1000X on that 24 hours.
A category - 10 hours, 11 pundits, +puja materials - 301 USD
B category - 8 hours, 11 pundits +puja materials - 251 USD
C category -5 hours, 11 pundits +puja materials - 161 USD

Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) course - 29 March 2008
I personally took this course last year and have since come to apply the principles in just about every dimension of my life, but in particular into my teaching, business, and even relationships. NLP is way of perfecting the way you communicate and shares modalities from therapy, hypnosis and language. Highly recommended!
