![Earth Day Vegetarian Buffet by Samarlika
Last April 21, members of Samarlika organized a vegetarian night at Ananda Marga at Maamo Street in Sikatuna Village, where I began my practice in late March this year.
Apart from vegetarian fare, Samarlika also shared some educational information on vegetarianism (though I missed this), tai chi and yoga demonstrations, live music and a fire dance.
I also got to chat more with some of Ananda Marga’s yoga teachers and current and previous students. It was a great event to really get to know the community in which I practice yoga better, and familiarize myself with vegetarian fare.

It’s been a month since then, and I left for Baguio the following day and Boracay soon after. So I’ve yet to resume my practice there, but I look forward to going back this week.
In the meantime, there’s another vegetarian dinner happening there tonight, May 26, for the benefit of some Aeta children they’ve invited to Manila. So drop by if you can!
Food and fire dance,Jen

My Yoga Beginnings with Ananda Marga Yoga in Manila
I’ve been interested in yoga for as long as I can remember, but with the steep price of yoga classes in most of Metro Manila, I couldn’t maintain yoga practice, given my spending priorities (i.e. travel).
My previous attempts / ideas on starting my yoga practice
I resorted to subscribing to online yoga journals, and reading up on yoga poses, but there is only so much you can do without proper guidance or instruction.
Because of that, I jumped at all possible chances to get trial yoga sessions, and waited for deals on group-buying sites, but again, this wasn’t a sustainable way to develop my practice.
