Yoga, Meditation and Byron Bay, Kents a New Man

 Sheldon the Yoga instructor at the Byron at Byron knew he had his work cut out for him when he saw this bloke take a mat, not even dressed in the proper attire. Still he used his yoga meditation to make it through the class. Breathe deep and pull your belly button to your spine he kept repeating. That’s not an easy thing to do when you’ve been eating three squares a day in Australia. Still after 45 minutes he had me feeling like trying out for a part in Swan Lake. He is a Californian that came to Australia years ago on a 45 foot sailboat.

The town of Byron Bay is a funky place where hippy, surfer, backpacker and upscale blend Oceanside. The hills outside the town are called the hinterlands and are covered with Macadamia Plantations as well as rumored pot plots. Yesterday at a place called the Crystal Castle high in the hills I had a picture of my aura taken and then read. Every color of the rainbow was covered in my picture, seems there is a lot going on inside this guy. After my massage today at the Byron I am sure the violent purple has mellowed some what, after all that is what Byron Bay is all about!
