It’s 12:48 in the morning. You’re hitting your browser’s refresh button, waiting for the next seat sale to Siem Reap or Bali while muttering to yourself “I can’t believe he took her to Hong Kong Disneyland, that loser” as you think of your ex who unceremoniously dumped you for that girl whose face makes you want to hit and break things.
You’ve just watched Julia Roberts stuffing herself silly with food in Italy and riding bikes and going to temples, and you think, this is what you need. You have to go to another country to find peace and be calm and resist the urge to claw your ex and his woman’s faces. You can be Zen about this if only you can have your “Eat, Pray, Love” moment.
You’re so set with doing this you haven’t got the time to realize you’ve got it wrong.
Forget hopping on the next plane and traveling to another country. Forget trying to fix things by trying to prove yourself as better than her or anybody else for that matter. Forget deluding yourself and drowning yourself with stuff you can buy or acquire, like little trophies that momentarily blind you with gloss and glitter.
It’s time to heal, discover, and ultimately empower yourself.
Committed to deepening your understanding and appreciation of yourself, one of the country’s leading yoga studios, Bliss Yoga, brings you BLISS Workshops & Intensives — a series of classes launched by Roland de la Cruz, Glenn Biscoe and Monique Borja, studio directors and owners of Bliss Yoga, which are aimed to help you focus your mind and body, and ultimately find the balance you have been searching for all this time.
