It is so fortunate I discovered yoga. It is the fountain of youth. It has increased my mobility and given me muscle tone. Most importantly, the morning sessions clears my mind for a productive day. My job leading an international school is demanding and can be stressful. Yoga is the antidote to calming my thoughts and focusing me on what is important. I want to enjoy the journey of the rest of the time I have here on earth, and training my mind and toning my body help me do just that. I subscribe to InnerDimensionYoga, and they have a big range of programs. Power Yoga is my favorite form of the discipline. I am currently going through Sadhana daily practice, which is a year-long program. It provides 365 workouts selected from Inner Dimension’s huge catalog of programs. Each workout is between 45 and 60 minutes and includes an optional 10 to 20 minute meditation as well. I found a nice spot in my garden to practice yoga.

We had a nice long weekend in Tashkent. Uzbekistan is celebrating its 34th year of independence today, September 1. As I get older, I appreciate the smaller things in a life. A walk with my dog in the bright Uzbek sunshine, sitting on the patio with my wife and daughter, a even a swim in the Ankhor Canal after a run.

The summer weather is slowly fading and the nights have been absolutely perfect! I love September and October in Uzbekistan.
