In celebration of the Women’s Month, the Senate office on Gender and Development invited me to do 3 yoga classes and a raw food class as part of the Seminar on Women’s Health Awareness in the Workplace. Naturally I said yes!

Just like that, we’ve finished 10 Pilates and yoga sessions. As always, it was fun-filled with lots of discussions from yoga poses to Philippine politics to business matters. I always consider my students my friends having been a freelancer for a few years now and graduation days are always sad. But then again, I know
It was a good way to start the week. An hour of yoga session with the staff and employees of the University of the Philippines Food Service. The head of the service is a Fine Arts professor thus she brings her art into the food that they serve. They are implementing the 5Ms of the food service, hope I remember it right – masustansya (healthy), mura (cheap), masarap (delicous), malinis (clean), and maganda (beautiful).

This is my 3rd time to guest teach at Soufie’s Academy of Arts in Kalibo, Aklan and I simply love the warmth that I feel everytime I am around my Aklanon students. Soon after the class, they’d post in Facebook requesting for more classes and just now the owner of the Academy said I might just be able to teach here once a month or every two month, or quarterly. Wishes do come true.
While guest teaching, I’m also here to guide a detox client with her juice fast and liver flushing. One of those things that I simply love to do.
I know I am blessed that I get to do what I really love most. It’s not everyday that everyone has that. But today, another blessing came. I am one person who never hangout with new friends. I always say I already have my tribe – my family, my few good friends, and my yoga students. Beyond that, I just don’t need new people in my life. Although recently I started entertaining someone special but that will be a different subject. Anyway, being here in Kalibo, I am suddenly surrounded by new friends.
It’s been a long time since I had a class this big. Twenty seven students in a semi-open space while the rain is pouring! Tough work for the throat. They – my teachers, classmates, friends, father – all said the same time: that I need to speak a little louder. That it must come from the abdomen. Therefore, core work. Working on it!
