Our final stop on our 5 week Europe tour is Cologne Germany and we are staying in a charming section of the city on Neusserplatz. We are staying on the square of a very large cathedral named St. Agnes and the clock tower of the church is visible from the small kitchen where we take [...]

Travelling through various countries and within various languages (here in Koln Germany, we are in our 5th country on this tour) it is clear the extent to which we see things through our own perspective.

The small bar was set along one of the ubiquitous side cobble streets of Istanbul. My host David Cornwell (from Belfast), who directs the studio Jahangir Yoga with his Turkish wife Zeynep, was my guide and we climbed into chairs at a small table. Fortunately there was no smoking within the café. In Istanbul it [...]

We began the training course Hands On Adjustment here in Istanbul last night. The group is 35 Turkish woman and one man! The Jihangir studio is locate in a compacted and crowded neighborhood of Istanbul, near the sea. The urban culture in Jihangir reflects contemporary Western values. On the rare occasion there are Islamic women [...]

The transition from Scandanavia and the clean integrity of Helsinki to Istanbul that sits on the cusp of the entire Middle East has been radical.

The city of Helsinki is surrounded by water–both inland lakes and the Baltic Sea that separates Finland from Estonia and Russia to the south. We visited a stone walled “sea fortress” on one of the islands just off the mainland in the Baltic sea. The island is part of one of the sprawling archipelagos off [...]

It is 10 pm here in Helsinki and the sun is just setting, and the light stays in the sky almost to midnight and the dawn begins at 3 am! Given that we are just 5-6 hours south of the Arctic Circle by train, and are approaching the longest day of the year, the day [...]
