Sept 30, 2008:
Day 1
We arrived in the tree filled, mountainous place of Seoul, Korea yesterday after an interesting flight. The airlines seemed much more focused on us shopping than sleeping at 3:00 in the morning. We were on the red eye, my preferred way to travel, but never the less they were kind and the experience new and that is always interesting. There is no at&t phone services by the way, so know that most likely your international phone will not work here, but for me it was all the more reason to completely take in the country and “BE HERE NOW!”
I love to take a solo day of unraveling and slowly adjusting with restoratives and grounding back down into the earth after all those hours on a plane. I do a mask, take a bath and read a good book.
Later today we will go to the adidas store to shop before we meet with Violet (an incredible Combat teacher out of NYC) and Niki (my point person/boss at Global Sports Marketing adidas). You can feel the energy beginning to build and it is exciting.
I will spend the morning, drinking juices, doing the sauna and meditating to prepare for what’s about to come. These are the supportive ways in which I stay calm in the midst of all the excitement around the event and even me.
Here we are having lunch at a traditional Korean Restaurant and I was in heaven.
I always ask for help that I am the clearest and the most connected and that I do the best job that I have ever done before and then allow…Whatever to happen to happen, being open, willing, present and as strong as I know how to be

Day 2
I am wiped out, but satisfied… I just finished Day one Monday the teachers training. Its Monday September 1st in the states and at the end of Monday here…
The teachers/students were as incredible as the last time that I met many of them in Shanghai. Now I have time to go in depth with them. They already knew and had been practicing and even teaching the beginners DVD that I put out and were moving in such synchronicity and dedication that it was a rich experience, just to witness. I found myself, humbled and moved to delight at the feeling of how beautiful it is to watch something that I allowed to come through me to come to life was such a positive and beautifully visual sight. I am grateful.
* I am about to have dinner now with Alex and Niki at the hotel Chinese restaurant and then take one more sauna.
In China it was the noodle soup I could not stop eating. In Korea it’s the baths and the sauna that I am addicted to. I’ll take another soak before bed… 
I am having a hard time staying away from there. I even went in during lunch today.
Day 3
Another wonderful day of teachers training. We finished with a group dinner and went to bed both empty and full..Nastalgia…:)
Day 4
Early today we woke up to prepare for the big event, where all the teachers of the different arts come together. I did lots of press and had a celebratory dinner with the whole team when it was over.
THE AFTERMATH…. September 4th…day 5? Who knows, it does become a blur…:) The way home.
What can I say… I LOVE KOREA!!! I love the people, I love the clothes, I love the press, I loved the classes, I love the food, I love the baths, I loved the experience.
I was very impressed by the sophistication and simple quality of life that I was exposed to there.
I arrived home and felt exhausted. I napped throughout the day and was so excited to see my daughter and my father and we walked to the neighborhood, organic pizza joint.
…It took me days to return to normal and I did… just in time to get on a plane to Sedona Arizona to MC and teach Yoga at the Raw Spirit Festival… which was mind blowing and the most magical festival ever..:) it only keeps growing and unfolding better and better, all ways….
Coming soon… Raw Spirit Fest. Bless…
