One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I visit Angkor Wat in Cambodia; then i went to Laos in a 3 days slow boat... Thailand and Indonesia and Guilli Islands (Lombok) the best island in the word !!! .... and this trip has been changed my life! Specialy in INDIA.

The more I see the less I know. I was also in Nepal, where I got so much peace in Pokara!

I visited Machu Picchu in 2016!!! amazing experience! And I met a local Chaman there in Aguas Calientes.

I went 3 times to Radhadesh Mellows ! The best Interntional mantra festival !!!

Took a bath in a lake in Anuradhapura (2017), Sri Lanka with lotus flowers and rice plantations near by;

I saw the sunrise near the Himalayas, in Tonglu village, the border between India and Nepal.... and after that an incredible trip to Darjeeling and Kalimpong.

The experience of giving birth to my second child, the little Jay!

Teach, Learn, Share

If you dont risk nothing, then you risk everything.

Lorsqu'on est tombé malade il faut changer le comportement. Hippocrate

All moments are magical, but some moments are more than others.

"Only diamond can cut diamond, only the best can satisfy the best (Krsna of course)"

« Le culte des régnants célestes (Devas), le prêtre, le gourou, et les sages ; la pureté, la droiture, le célibat, et la non-violence, sont considérés comme l’austérité des actes. (17.14)

La parole non offensive, qui est véridique, agréable, bénéfique, et qui s’apprête à l’étude régulière des écritures est appelée l’austérité de la parole. (17.15)

La sérénité du mental, la douceur, l’équanimité, le contrôle du soi, et la pureté des pensées, est appelée l’austérité de la pensée. (17.16)

Cette triple austérité mentionnée ci-dessus (de la pensée, la parole, et les actes) pratiquée par des yogis persévérants, avec une foi inébranlable, sans désir d’en récolter les fruits, est dit d’appartenir au tempérament bonté. (17.17)

What I Can Share with Hosts

A vegetarian meal, a yoga class or, a bike tour in the tonw and invite you to play chess with yogui tea. And of course, I can introduce you ACROYOGA practice!
