I believe humans have a natural tendency to enjoy colors–whatever the science has to say about white light and cones in our retinas, etc., the beauty of colors can’t be limited to a scientific phenomenon. There is something in our soul or being that binds us to these colors. If you can play with them, if you can use them to give a shape to your imagination or the world around you, there’s hardly anything more beautiful than that. Heidi … Continue reading “Paint what you love, the way you love to express it–says Heidi Willis, watercolorist from Australia”

However, when you meet or get to know somebody like Nina, who has never been to … Continue reading “Interview with Nina Alfers: facilitating integration through Yoga”

Coming from India, I know a lot of people who are into Yoga as a physical practice. Right from our childhood, we hear commoners talking about various kinds of yogasanas and practices.

But, of course, when somebody from outside India is practicing Yoga with such zeal and dedication, we are curious … Continue reading “What Yoga means to you: An interview with Raechal Levin”
