Bucas Grande Island
With no itinerary, I decided to stay in Siargao Island for a week and with a constant talking I made friends with the local surfers. It was my first visit and I had a glimpse of the different side of the island. Early mornings and late afternoons are usually spent at the sea as I recklessly sit in between my surfboard looking at the horizon waiting for the ‘unbroken green wave.’
No photograph can capture the moment and the amount of emotion we felt as we continue to share a couple of waves while it was drizzling. Sliding in wave after wave. It was a moment of pure bliss.
— Daku Island, Siargao.

Nearly the end of the first full week of 2019. Hopefully the fog is clearing, you’ve set your intent for the year and you’re on you way already to achieving your 2019 goals!

Seeing the recent photos of the devastation in the Caraga region, particularly in Siargao Island reminded me of these 2013 photos of the municipality of Del Carmen.
Back then I was on assignment with @tmcbn and @maralala.la for a feature story on eco-towns, and Del Carmen was one of the models for the ecological concept.
We chanced upon the town fiesta and so we not only filled our minds and notebooks with story ideas and notes, but also our tummies with plenty of food as well.
I wonder though how the town looks like now after #OdettePH. I hope the town would receive more aid in the coming days. And I hope the people would be able to rebuild their homes and lives soon.
Del Carmen, Surigao Del Norte.
July 2013.

One of the last practices I did at the shala before #typhoonodette slammed Siargao so bad. Swipe left to see the aftermath.
When we receive a tragedy or a shock in our lives, our body tends to go into fight meaning looking for someone to blame or flight meaning we try to calm ourselves with clichés like “everything happens for a reason” response. In these trying times like in yoga, when we feel our body resisting, is to breathe through it. We must become more present than usual.
By breathing into our discomfort, we empower ourselves to feel uncomfortable without panicking. Each new breath draws us more deeply into awareness and allows us to move on to the next breath, the next step. We feel sadness, horror, grief, compassion, acceptance, anger, relief, sorrow, and, just for a moment, awareness of it all. One breath at a time.

Batang Hamog level unlocked! But kidding aside, I wasn’t expecting that this will be the way how I will exit the the tear-drop shape island of Siargao (Not permanently). Everyone was caught off-guard and by surprise when #typhoonodette hit the entire island so bad. It literally turned the surfing paradise into a sort of complete wasteland in less than five hours on that fateful day of the 16th of December 2021 even my own home was not spared.
This was me 3 days after typhoon Odette to pick up my transportation which I left uphill of Tawin tawin where we evacuated since majority of the roads and streets were blocked by fallen branches and uprooted trees after the storm. It took me six days of no electricity, no network, no water from the tap but to fetch water from the deep well to take a bath, no proper sleep, six days of cigarette and water diet since I literally don’t have the appetite to eat proper food though that there is really something proper to eat to finally decide that it’s time for me to go back to Makati temporarily. It was an amazing, nurturing and nourishing almost a year of experience with you Siargao. I am not bidding farewell nor abandoning you. I will comeback once I am mentally and emotionally recovered. SALAMAT KARAJAW, Siargao!
Ps. Thank you to all of my friends whom I consider my family in the island who supported me emotionally, physically, and mentally during the time that I was a complete disaster post-typhoon.

We are all living in uncertain times where the only thing certain is change. Most situations affect our routine functioning and demand us to adapt ourselves to that change. How willing are we to embrace big or small changes and adapt? Whenever there is a change around us, there needs to be a change within us, an inner preparation. The change has to start in our mind. If we resist the internal shift, we resist the external change too. It leaves us stressed and unhappy. Instead of sticking to internal comfort zones created due to past experiences or belief systems, let’s cultivate a habit of being able to change our habits. Flexibility increases our ability to adjust and adapt to different people and environments. Using our powers to accept, adjust, accommodate, tolerate, or mould are one decision away. Remind ourselves, I adapt to people and situations and flow with life. I know when to adjust and when to confront, and I use both powers the right way.

A lifetime commitment to yoga teaches us the power of the deepest level of devotion. Whether we practice six days a week or only two times a week as long as yoga remains in our lives over time we will delve deeper into the inner world and know what it means to fully surrender ourselves to the path of yoga. When we are able to maintain our attention on our deepest dreams with the type of unwavering focus and heartfelt dedication that yoga teaches us, then we will also know the exhilarating feeling of actualizing our dreams in the world.

Trini, Inhale, head-up…
In the Ashtanga Yoga method every posture has a specific number of vinyasas which is a breath-aligned movements that bring us from Samasthiti to a particular posture or asana and back to standing. We hear the count or the Vinyasa count in an Ashtanga Led Class, where the count is used to lead the practitioners through the movements without any extra explanation needed. Once a week usually Saturdays, people who practice Ashtanga Yoga regularly in a Mysore class setting will find it beneficial and fun to flow with the group just counting the vinyasas.

Ashtanga often gets an undeserved reputation because people don’t want to be honest about the gap between the posture that is being presented and what their body can actually do on that given day. Unfortunately, two things usually happen, people either force themselves to look like the pose or they quit. Ashtanga is not asking us to do either one.
The grounds of the Ashtanga Yoga System is that you learn each posture one by one especially in a Mysore style class. When we get to a posture that is not working with our body, our teacher assesses the reason for this. They will then make the decision to either stop you there or give you an approximation of the posture and let you move on. This is how we stay safe when we practice the Ashtanga Yoga Method and that is the importance of having a teacher as well.
The problem is that instead of seeing this as an amazing way to stay safe and slowly build a practice, the ego sometimes sees it as a failure.

In the space between inhalation and exhalation, in the pause between heartbeats, there is a silence that invites me to dig deeper, a light that starts to shine through the spaces. When I am running at full force, my body begs me to stop and it is my practice that teaches me how to listen. I feel it now, a returning to my center.

For me, the most important recognition for a Mysore teacher is that we serve the students. As a teacher, we must be humble enough to realize that teaching happens in relationship. Practice is co-created by the teacher, the student, and the Divine energy. The asana practice is the tool that we use to help the students explore the depths of their body and mind. It is important not have an agenda or be assertive in our approach. Rather we hold space and energy for the students’ own exploration. Often, teachers act as a mirror to help students see their own physical and mental blind spots, offering insights based on the teachings we have received from our own teachers in the method of Parampara. And we support them in meeting attainable challenges so they gradually cultivate a deeper understanding of the potential that Yoga has for uncovering the light of the boundless human spirit.

It is normal to sometimes go through times when the practice just feels hard and the motivation for practice is low. For almost a decade of practice, there have been times when I’ve lost my spark for practice. I remember what my teacher, Sharath-ji told me years ago and definitely is the anchor of my daily asana practice, he said that I must have one of two things in my practice at all times, first is the value and second is the joy. You might not always have both but you must have at least one.
I stayed on my mat for the simple reason that I value my yoga practice.
I have faith in the yoga system and its lessons to help connect me to all of the aspects of life. I believe it is good for me physically, mentally, spiritually, emotionally, without a doubt.
You are not alone in your struggles, no matter what they are. If you believe in the yoga practice and value it, have faith and never give up! Be creative, be kind to yourself, and be patient.

It is very obvious to say that the Ashtanga Yoga Method is a very physical practice. That it helps us develop deep focus, a strong will, stamina and a vibrant and healthy body. But it’s worth remembering that these attributes really help to change the awareness we have of ourselves, both in positive and negative ways. Positive because it helps wake us up to new feelings, sensations and processes in the body. Negative because if we are not careful it can reinforce old subtle habits. But to develop a daily, or very regular, personal Ashtanga Yoga practice shows a high commitment and regard to changing something about ourselves. And either way, with the right intention, that is not a bad thing.

Yoga has so much to offer if we are ready to accept it. We should be open to these endless enlightening surprises! We will learn so much from this amazing practice. All we have to do is open our eyes and gaze at the tip of our nose.

Today marks my fourth month living in the island. Thankful and grateful to @sadhana.siargao for giving a wonderful and a lovely place to stay close to nature away from the hustle and bustle of the city and of course a place for me to share and teach this wonderful practice called the Ashtanga Yoga Method.

The only way out of the struggle phase and into pose mastery is through daily and consistent practice. When many of us enter the struggle phase, we do the exact opposite. We practice less or stop all together. This only gets us stuck in the struggle phase. Dig down and keep going. The breakthrough is coming.

Surrender requires faith and it is itself an act of faith. If we do not believe in a power greater and grander than ourselves we might think that we have to bear the weight of the world on our shoulders. We might carry blame and shame around like chains around our hearts. It is so easy to judge every experience as a pass or fail test. When we succeed we feel like a hero, but when we fail we feel like a victim. But faith allows us to see from a totally different perspective, from a Divine perspective.

One year in lockdown and quarantine and I bet we are still in our own processes of transition, release and surrender, yet in the midst of such intensity there is a reflection of hope amidst a sea of doubt and disbelief. We usually see in the world what we have cultivated within ourselves. Yoga teaches us to have faith in our own ability to change and grow, to know and evolve our own values and literally to become the change we want to see in the world. Accordingly what change we can believe in is a direct reflection of our own strength and grace.

We are excited to announce that we are finally resuming classes starting March 2nd! Patrick Santos will be teaching in Sadhana over the next few months and we are looking forward to seeing new and old faces in the shala!
Patrick was first introduced to yoga in 2006 while pursuing his Culinary Studies and fell in love with ashtanga yoga 7 years ago. He introduced Ashtanga Yoga in the tradition of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in Saudi Arabia and has taught in different parts of the Middle East. He currently resides in Manila, where he started Ashtanga Yoga Manila in 2017.
As a chef and an Ashtanga Yoga practitioner, Patrick hopes to unite his two passions: promoting healthy living through food and spiritual wholeness through the practice.
Patrick goes to Mysore, India every year for an extended stay to further enrich his studies at the Sri K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute/ Sharath Yoga Center and was given the blessing to teach both the primary and intermediate series.
