1/ TRAVEL YogaLab at the Festival de Cannes (Villa Schweppes, Friday May 17-23, 2013)
Mika de Brito and Marco Prince take their groovy “yoga en immersion sonore” party on the road! Put on your cans, and get your asana down with music, lighting and projections.

2/ MAKE “Gnocchis aux orties” (J’veux Être Bonne) or “Spring Soba Noodle Salad” (FOOD52)

3/ PRACTICE Meditation (various)
Thanks to technology, it is getting easier to create space in your life for meditation. Try Inner Balance, Calm, or Insight Timer to improve your well-being, shift your behavior and track your practice.

4/ READ “Do What You Can Do” by Christina Sell (On Living the Light of Yoga)
Christina advises that in order to advance our practices intelligently -- on or off the mat -- we need to “accept where we are without judgement.”

5/ LISTEN Shahid Parvez Khan + Nihar Mehta at Musée Guimet
On Friday 17 May, spend an evening at the Musée Guimet which will buzz and beat to the rhythms of the sitar and tabla. Tickets still available!

How to Meditate in a Moment

I discovered this One-Moment Meditation yesterday via YogaDork and I was very happy with the results. Even after all of these years of intermittent and -- it should be said -- mostly undisciplined meditation, I am still surprised at how quickly one can feel the benefits. Spending as little as one minute concentrating on your inhales and exhales can noticeably improve your sense of well-being.

Have a peaceful weekend :)
