ShivShakti Yoga

ShivShakti Yoga Sumona (aka. She continues to perform and teach this traditional Indian dance, in addition to Bollywood Dance) to this day. Bharata Natyam is an artistic yoga.

Sumona Apsara Parii) initiated her love of yoga with her Bharata Natyam (South-Indian Classical Dance) studies, training, and performances, which she started in 1989. It is is one of the oldest dance forms in India--more than 4000 years old. It has various sculpture-like poses and postures that come from yoga; ntricate footwork, meaningful hand gestures and facial expressions, especially the eyes. All this conveys the myriads of characters revealed by the dancer, from many Indian mythological stories. Hence, yoga has been a part of Sumona's life since her childhood to a large extend. In March 2010, she received her official 200-Hour Yoga Teaching Certificate from Cloud Nine Yoga in Huntington Beach, California. She has several years of in-depth experience teaching Bollywood Dance Yoga, Hatha Yoga and Vinyasa Flow Yoga at Cloud Nine Yoga in Huntington Beach, California, at Shaktibox in Los Angeles, California. at the Gurukul in Norwalk, California, as well at Buddha B Yoga in Washington, DC. At ShivShakti Yoga , Sumona incorpates her passion of Indian dance, meditation, pranayama (deep breath-work), mudras (hand gestures) into her yoga asana (postures) teachings. She uses all kinds of international music during her classes, including soft yoga, Indian classical and/or semi-classical, Bollywood and chakra (energy centers in the human body) sound music. She gives personal attention to each student, and teaches with great love, passion, patience, compassion. as well sincerity in a loving, serene, as well safe environment.

My lifelong mantra and philosophy in life:

Shine your light to the world, as you lift others and let them shine, as well.

This is akin to giving knowledge or wisdom to someone, because by doing so, in actuality, one’s own knowledge or wisdom shines and illuminates even more in deeper, more beautiful ways…

Couldn’t agree more with Trevor!!!

Indian Cuisine/Food truly is the best, albeit it takes hours and hours to cook with slowness and with a lot of love and patience, but it is the best with good reason.

My beloved Maa (Mom) truly is an amazing cook and cooks the most yummilicious, delicious Indian foodβ€”

She had learned to cook from my beloved Naani and Naanu (maternal grandmother and grandfather who had passed on many, many years ago) after which Maa taught and still teaches me me how to cook Desi Khaana (Indian food) from scratch.

It would take me a billion lifetimes to achieve the brilliancy and sublime, luminous flavors that my Naani, Naanu had and Maa has in their cooking, but I do my very best.

As Maa always says, Love is the most importantly ingredient in cooking:

I can definitely feel and taste her Love in her special Raajma Chaawal (Kidney Beans Curry and Rice), Saag (Spinach Curry), Aaloo Paneer Kadi (Potatoes & Homemade Indian Cheese Curry) and Aaloo ke Paranthai (Stuffed Potatoes Bread) dishes. ❀️❀️❀️

Just writing this is making me drool…
πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹πŸ˜‹πŸ€€πŸ€€πŸ€€

Luminous love and blessings abound to all, evermore and eternally….

The attitude of gratitude is beautiful.

Granted, my life is far from being perfect, yet I truly am grateful for all the beautiful blessings:

1. Thank you beloved Gods and Goddesses for perfect good health in MindBodySpirit, touchwood, the greatest of wealth.

2. For prosperity, abundance, a roof over my head, food on the table.

3. For genuine love and blessings of beautiful loved ones and friends around the world.

4. For the sacredness and sweetness of dance and yoga and writing and poetry and energy healing in my life.

Counting our blessings is a beautiful daily practice and prayer, because the more grateful we are, the more blessings the Universe showers upon us for which to be grateful.

Isn’t that beautiful…❀️❀️❀️

LoveLoveLove…

To those who dislike me:

Thank you so much for the compliments.

Seeing through people (crystal clearlyβ€”Earth Angels and Lightworkers and Empaths do this with deep intution) and making my boundaries very clear and strong are an inherent part of my essence, as well soul.

So, I am perfectly at peace at being disliked by some people, because it means I am being true to my authentic self and engaging in deep self-love and self-care and self-respect with truthful conviction.

Indeed, this is a sacred divine power by the grace of the Universe…

Heartiest congratulations to the blessed sweeping of elected Democratic leaders across New York, New New Jersey, California and Virginia!!!

May Gods and Goddesses and the Universe lovingly shift the tides and winds over towards the path of genuinely kind, compassionate, empathetic, healing, humane and honorable leadership in America.

Ek Choti Si Kavita (Little Poem):

Agar Mere Buss Mein Hota (If I Had It My Way)

Agar mere buss mein hota,
tho mein duniya ke saare
anaath bachon ko godh lethi aur unhe
behadh pyar daithi. πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

(If I had it my way,
I would adopt all the world’s orphans
and give them
so much deep love). πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

Had a blessed wonderful 50th Birthday celebration within the month of October (hey, I get to celebrate All Month Long 😘😘😘)!!!

I got to celebrate with my/our beautiful beloved MaPa (parents), as well with my/our beautiful beloved Shanna Maasi (Shanna Aunty), who is one of my beautiful beloved Maa’s best friends since college.

At MaPa’s place, we got to eat delicious Indian food from a fabulous Indian restaurant and yummilicious cake and kheer and gulab jamun (Indian sweets).

MaPa gave me the sweetest 50th Birthday card in which they wrote beautiful Birthday wishes and blessings in both English and Hindi, which I always love and treasure with all my heartsoul.

I know that technology makes online card-giving a snap, but there is something so sweetly precious and special about tangible handwritten cards that we keep with us as treasured sentimental gifts forevermore, much like handwritten love letters.

Anyhow, I cherished every sacred, precious moment with my beautiful MaPa whom I deeply and dearly love with all my heartsoul.

Shanna Maasi also had taken me out for a special Birthday dinner at this fabulous Italian restaurant, that had delicious vegetarian choices and yummilicious dessert, as well.

I cherished every precious moment with her.

Shanna Maasi has been best friends with my/our beautiful Maa since their sweet college
days, hence, she is like a beautiful mother to me who showers me with a plethora of love and blessings, too.

I love her dearly, as well. πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°

I truly am beyond blessed to be adored and loved by those who truly matter to my heartsoul and my precious life.

Thank you so much, beloved Gods and Goddesses and Universe for your richness of love and beauty and abundance in my life.

I love You…πŸ₯°πŸ₯°πŸ₯°
