Dear All,

As you might have already heard, I have embarked on a new venture- Twin Heart Yoga (Thy). It is my initiative to explore and promote the science and philosophy of yoga. It is a platform for the practitioner to “Experience Mindful Transformation” The mission of Twin heart Yoga is to offer holistic wellness in all seven dimensions: Physical, Occupational, Emotional, Spiritual, Intellectual, Environmental and Social. Remember the POESIES I wrote in one of my blogs earlier. I had sent friend requests from my Twin heart Yoga Facebook page a while ago. Some of you accepted and some rebutted with a, “who is this yogi with two hearts”; now you know- Thy Jay.

I am starting our signature THYFLOW in Naperville in the first week of October. You may find the details in the attached flyer. The core of THYFLOW is you and your ability to transform yourself: Physically, mentally and spiritually.

I want to thank my wife Bindhu; and friends (Roopa, Mohan, Shobha, Vinesh, kamala, Sailesh and Monika) for their thoughts and inputs into the design of the logo to capture the vision of Twin Heart. Monika was able to detain our views in all its subtlety, “softness of those dynamic hearts” as Monika mentioned once. The two hearts represent the physicality and spirituality in you. Yoga is a balance. The red color of “O” in YOGA represents you: the center of Twin Heart Yoga. The red color is the base chakra that makes who you are; and how stable and healthy you are. You are flanked by your significant other represented by orange (Swadhistana chakra); and the community represented by green- Anahata or Heart Chakra. The green color also represent the love, compassion, service, joy and peace residing in you and the community. At the end of the day, yoga is a journey to discover and unearth that peace. The blue triangle in the end represents A. It also depicts tristana yoga (pose, breath and the focus.) The color represent the truth- visudha chakra.

The yogi in the center is supported by two hearts; or, sitting at the center of a lotus. I am big fan of lotus. I still remember those young days during the monsoon season (in India); after-school hours are spent in flooded paddy fields with gracious blooms of beautiful lotuses; fragrant and often elusive. The lotus telecast a wonderful message, “I have been into the deepest of muds; look at me now” It’s a testimony for transformation. Seed physiologists say that lotus seeds are the oldest well preserved viable seeds on earth! A wonderful lesson to learn from lotus.

I am working on twinheartyoga.com and is still in the delta version (a version farther from beta!). Wish I had a method for technological wellness! Hope to see you some time in my class.

Thy,

Jay
