Hi
Guys There is so much I love about living in Thailand and working with
Tiger Muay Thai. This weekend was the first Phuket Health and Fitness
Festival run by the Rawai Niharn group. I was invited as a
representative of Tiger Muay Thai to teach Yoga at Niharn Lake and do a
presentation on Raw Training . Niharn is normally where I take my
brave Thursday bodyfitters for beach training. This time my class
participants were brave in a different way. A large percentage of the
group had come from Atmanji a detox center in Rawai. Many had not eaten
food for over 10 days!!! While this on some levels horrifies me I love
my food ???? I do support the mechanics behind fasting to heal and
cleanse the body. Fasting is a great way to start transformation.
Provided you have the right support both physically and mentally the
commitment required to complete a fast is exactly what you need to
develop and achieve big lifetime change. So my hungry class members
rolled out their mats next to Tiger members who were aching from hiking
big Buddha with weighted packs on there back. Talk about a mixed bag!!
Regardless of the state they were in when they started I am happy to
say that we all left the lake with a post yoga glow and a desire for
breakfast. Sadly some don't always get what they want
After my
eggs ;-), it was time for the Raw Fitness Presentation. This was a
great opportunity for me to brag about you guys, my amazing Tiger Crew!
Let me take this time to remind you, how amazing you are. I showed a
short video of our Raw Training sessions and the crowd was in awe. The
sight of you guys sweating it out and working together to make
transformation happen was powerful, impressive and inspiring. I
acknowledge you all, Rock on Tiger Crew!!
One of the things that I
believe is a great contributor the power that you guys possess is
that many of you have come to Tiger because you have had enough of how
things are at home. Relationship breakdowns, unsatisfying work, no
work, health issues or the loss of a loved one to name but a few. You
have reached a point where you are raw. From this place you find your
power. During my presentation a girl shared with the room that she has
been diagnosed with cancer. She is at raw. It was a wonderful
experience to connect with her and I am extremely grateful that she
shared this with me. Every time you share something that is hard to say
you become a little stronger. Every time you share you help yourself
and those you share with. When I was not teaching or talking, I was
able to participate in several of the other festival activities on
offer. I learnt the art of Indian Head Massage, how to drop negative
habits, did some Kundalini yoga and learnt more about having a healthy
body mind and spirit. There were presenters from all over the world
and it was a great weekend. I look forward to the next one and I hope to
see you there
Before then though, I am sure to see you sweating
it out at Tiger on the mats, bikes, and mountain or at the beach.
Another week of hard-core Raw fitness, yoga, spin and x and body
fit…bring it on!! I will leave you with the words I spoke at the end of
my Sunday morning yoga class. "There great bbq chicken over there lets
go get some!"
Namaste
