Duncan Toms
Yogi, peace lover, wave surfer, photo taker, video maker, serious/silly, old/young Englishman from the old Shires.
I enjoy yoga, surfing when I can, being well, relaxing, photography, video making, walking, and this incredible *waking up*, what I call falling awake. In the autumn of 2009 I graduated as a Kripalu Yoga Teacher.
This site is a mix of yoga, photography, videos, journal entries and things from the Internet I’d like to share about this world we live in and life in general.
