The Fixer Uppers

While people in Germany are now arguing about who should pay the €14 cost of the ineffective swine flu vaccine, America is facing a real problem. The fat people are now causing costs totalling $147 billion.

Why does a person die?

While browsing the classifieds section of daily newspapers, I noticed that obituaries generally never mention what caused someone's death. The only exceptions are tragic events like accidents or suicide.

But any illnesses that may have killed the deceased aren't even mentioned. Yet mentioning them would be valuable information for readers. They could influence their decisions in one way or another.

Doctors' death certificates clearly confirm the cause: lung cancer, circulatory failure due to obesity, liver cirrhosis, etc. Some people die of the normal infirmity of old age...

TerLiMa Yoga

When I asked my yoga teacher and grandmaster Horst Weiland (*+*) what yoga was, he simply replied, "For example, this piece of chalk," and held out a white piece of chalk. 

For novices, yoga is a three-part path to realising one's personal life plan. This tripartite division distinguishes between the physical, mental, and spiritual realms. Within these three paths, there are various paths that can be followed. 

But all paths have one ultimate goal: to live one's own life and gain experience. All work always begins with physical yoga, Hatha Yoga. The body is trained to experience the further levels, the mental and spiritual realms. 

We find yoga offerings ranging from total renunciation to naked and sweaty yoga. People practice various yoga styles from India to California, from Berlin to Tasmania. I have personally studied Hatha Yoga, Euro Yoga according to Horst Weiland, and Tantra Yoga in particular. I also completed my master's degree in Tantra Yoga in 1996 in Utrecht, Netherlands. From my many international influences and teachings, I then developed the TerLiMa Yoga.

Your boat

Your body is the boat you sail through life in. At TerLiMa, we know that the most crucial task is always keeping your body and mind in good condition. This, of course, requires appropriate knowledge of our boat. This sketch serves as a small test. You can print out the enlarged image (A4 size) and then name the individual areas.
