Pragya Yoga and Wellness

One can design happiness! 🌺

Start to a Happy weekend

Meaningful, insightful and most wonderful interaction - a unique forum for minds and agencies in Public health.

Compassion. Forgiveness. Humility. Micchami Dukkadam. Today is one of the most special days in India. Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated with great pomp - to remove hinderances and obstacles and invoke the auspicious. These ten days (starting today)are equally important for Jains - a time for introspection and restrain. Could it an invitation for you too, to look inwards? Perhaps make a small beginning somewhere? Have restful, mindful weekend.

Sayonara!

Do what you like, like what you do.Sharing wellness,yoga and Indian cooking with a small group. We are all united in our quest for happiness and health❤️

Can you identify very typical Japanese things and what they are used for in this photo?

V I B E is everything! Positive energy, inspiration and spontaneous joy! it was so meaningful and therapeutic to be around your lovely café. Japanese style garden, little fish pond, smooth wood floors, sliding doors and many antique glass and lacquer ware from the Edo period. Sachiko San and her talented daughter Akari chan manage this space with elegance and joy! I was truly impressed. The awesome home cooked lunch with Arun San and Minal San was the cherry on top and straight from the heart to the heart. So grateful ❤️

Happy day! With new friends and a rainbow to top it all off!

Orphaned /Abandoned children in Japan have a very tough life- today I was invited to be a part of a program that helps these children learn cooking. Government looks after the safety of these girls but they need so more support both financial and psychological. Volunteers including celebrated chefs share their time and skills to bring joy, laughter and love. It was infinitely rewarding to participate with these girls taking pride in working together, organized and happy! This program (I have not included any photos of them due to privacy regulations) is open to receiving donations. Do send me a message if you wish to contribute! At the end of today’s lesson we all sat together and enjoyed our lunch! Gratitude to Chef Mori for a gourmet vegetarian meal he prepared so graciously for me. Super Sunday to make new friends and celebrate the old!

How incredibly beautiful! If you ever want to stay in the countryside and be touched by the magic of Nara connect with for an unforgettable experience! Today was a gorgeous gift! Deepest gratitude for a superb visit. Nobuko San you are an Angel and such a precious friend. Thank you for this curated, and brilliant experience ❤️

Pure Love! Okaasan (mother) is an embodiment of true Japanese spirit. I met her at her beautiful home in Oyamazaki after 30 years, and spent an unforgettable day in the lap of her kindness and grace. She cooked, walked up and down the mountain to pick and drop me and we laughed and spoke all day about how returning to nature and being in harmony is important. The fabulous lunch was all home grown vegetables and figs from her garden. Two cats - one of them is 24 years old, are as friendly and lovable as Okaasan. We practiced some yoga together- okasan has been practicing for the last 40 years. Hmmm so inspiring! So radiant. I left my heart with her.

Reconnecting with friends from college after 20-30 years is such a joy! ®
