RISING AT 3AM in order to chant may seem extreme, but not in Los Angeles where Maya Fiennes practises and teaches Kundalini yoga. She says Kundalini differs from other types of yoga as it hones the mind as much as the body – which is vital for the creative minds that inhabit the Hollywood Hills.
“It’s a combination of breathing, mantra and position,” she says. “And every Maya Fiennes class is different. There are thousands of different sets and I work with a lot of music as well, which is part of the experience.”

Relationships can certainly be a wonderful thing, but they are pointless if you do not have a relationship with yourself. How can you get another to love you when you don’t know who you are? It is also unfair to the other person to enter into a relationship while you are trying to figure out who you are because they don’t end up knowing what they are getting themselves into. Perhaps that is why the divorce rate is so high because both partners end up finding themselves years after they committed to marriage instead of before...

Bilap karae chaathrik kee niaaee ~ It cries out like the thirsty song-bird.
Our whole essence is a discipline and our highest point in discipline is to be in love with others and carry them with our head and our heart...read more.

Unlike a Krishna Das kirtan, where you pretty much know what you’re going to get, a workshop with KD can be wholly unpredictable. Case in point: last weekend’s Heart of Devotion Retreat at the awe-inspiring Garrison Institute, a former Franciscan monastery perched on the banks of the Hudson River across from West Point, N.Y.
