Funchal ( Madeira ) tropical portugal.... Good people and a family of Ashtangees
The First time i went to Funchal there were two things that surprised me in a good way.
The first one was:
How nice people were, it seamed like Portugal 15 years back. Every one was relaxed and very connected to each other. Also i was received by a group of yogis that were most of them self educated yogis, they practiced mostly alone and got together to learn from books... They would also travel to learn from international teachers and they would share with each other and practice together.
They were only a few but they seamed like they were allot.... still fresh in to yoga they were doing it with out judgments or preconceptions of what is right or wrong. Focus and engaging the practice in what i think is the correct way.
These was my third time in Funchal
I found a room full of yogis, their practice much better, their focus strong and ( like we used to say in india :))) the energy full power.
It was an amazing experience during practice it reminded me of the time´s with Rolf in Goa. Simple room with candles and every one trying 100 % very focus and so open to experience The mantras never sounded so well... The room and the energy of the people made each Sanskrit word sound profound made all of us stay in these good vibration.
I found different students that teach yoga, different methods, but with out judgments... just willing to experience.
Practicing is what matters, yoga is union and if you want to feel deeper in to your self you have to accept the different methods of every one. Understanding that we are all going in the same direction but we might take different routs.... Being like a family makes us more comfortable walking our path.... Its having a family to come back too that allows us to explore with less fear and more love.... watching and listening other will fulfill our world with more colors..... Practicing alone is difficult teaching alone is difficult ..... stay together, help each other in each ones path... This is you bringing union...
Again i was surprised with the every one in madeira. relaxed people with a hart full of love.
Almost forgot !!!!
The second thing that surprised me.
I took a bath in the ethe ocean and the water was at 22 degrees, the fruit is the same as in india, papaya, banana,pineapple, passion fruit every where.
The best indian restaurant next by the school. and than i would take a 15 minutes car drive and i would be on a mountain full of chess nut trees and it looked like Sintra forest.... cold and cloudy but at the same time beautiful and mysterious
