The week that was!

Hi Everybody! I hope your week is going well. The past few days have been very exciting...every day I discover something wonderful in NYC. There is just so much to see, learn, absorb, listen and get lost in. Sharing a few trigger points!

• My yoga teacher Elena Brower and a few others are doing a Global Yoga class in August. The world's largest yoga class - cost $675,000. Read all about it here. And an excellent reply to this global yoga event here. Would you donate for this event?

• An inspiring story with a very cool product by 2 students from Harvard. It's a soccer ball SOCCKET--that doubles as an eco-friendly portable generator.

• I had the opportunity to dine at some really good restaurants, including a Michelin star Indian restaurant. The food was scrumptious!! Read my reviews here: Junoon, Redhead, Delicatessen and The Green Table. Some pictures of the food.

• While walking in NYC I came across a group practicing Capoeira - a Brazilian martial art that combines elements of  dance and music.  It is known by quick and complex moves, using mainly power, speed, and leverage for leg sweeps. Loved it, here is a short video I took. 

                                       

• Yoga pose of the week - The twisted triangle

• Love the concept of Cinemagraph. It's a technique that selectively causes some parts of a photograph moving. Here are some of my favorites by Jamie Beck.

• Booked our tickets for The Dark Knight Rises. July 21st it is!

•  I am in heaven when i eat you!! While browsing through the isles of my local Whole foods I  discovered Chocolove. Since then every trip to Whole food means a bar of my favorite Almonds and sea salt chocolate. Its rich and creamy, tasty with every bite. A little bit of salty and crunchy, delicious!  Almonds & Sea Salt is arguably the best out there.

• Finally 2 more weeks till our trip!! Bonjour Paris!!!

Trigger Points

Hi Peeps, I hope you had a wonderful Memorial day weekend. Today I want to keep it short and simple. So just a few bullets!

• I just got back from a weekend trip to Cleveland. Surprisingly had some amazing food at Lucky cafe. More on that in the next post. 

Cleveland

• Spent the whole evening catching up on Keeping up with the Kardashians. It's a love -hate relationship. I hate the whole family, but its easy to watch their mindless drama and forget about your own.

• My favorite teacher Jill Miller's teacher - Glenn Black is in NY for a workshop and I am so excited to attend it. I have heard way too many good things about him to miss this one!

• 2012 looks like a good year for Hindi cinema. Here is the 2012 calender. I am looking forward to seeing Ishaqzaade, Gangs of Wasseypur, Talaash

• I am hooked on to these Bollywood songs. Can't seem to get them out of my mind! Pareshaan, Auntiji Auntiji.

• It’s an Olympic year. The countdown to the opening ceremony is on. Only 59 days left!! 

• My favorite picture from this weekends trip is of the St. Theodosius church in the Tremont  neighborhood, Cleveland. I just fell in love with the church! 

• And finally, we are heading for a short trip to Europe. My favorite part of the year! This year we will be visiting Brussels, Netherlands and Paris. 

What are you looking forward to in the next few weeks?
