traveling to other countries.

"Hi Cindy,
it's me from the Trier workshop =)
Gauri just mailed me the link to you profile.
Me and my girls really loved your workshop. We're going to involve a lot of the stuff
you taught us in our warm up routine.
For me personally it was a great experience because I never have done such a
communicative and jointly type of yoga before, until now yoga was something I did all
alone. So that really broaded my mind ;)
Thank you so much, hope to meet you soon again.
blessed be
patricia"

Personal bio:
not your mother's asian american.
totally city girl. reluctant driver. social drinker. now very rarely a smoker. gold digger for non profits, house hunter for the
needed and professional yogini. backpacking, yoga-doing, musuem hopping, bargain shopping, shoe-string-budget traveler.
loves geometry utilized in daily life. architecture is awesome. adores bed, food, booze and smell of books. pursues equality,
activities, adventures, excitement and social awareness. some controversy is lovely. but standing for something is even
more interesting. constantly busying self with very different things simultaneously due to the passion of seeking union in
drastic differences. enjoys different points of views. still constantly working on standing on her hands and balancing with her
head...
