Interview: Jyoti Alkesh, Astrologer & Palm Reader at VedaPlus, Tokyo
Jyoti Alkesh developed his interest in spirituality, astrology and palm reading during his childhood. Whilst working as an engineer, he started practicing astrology and palm reading over 10 years ago. Through his deep study, he came to know the essence and inter-connection between these paths and how to use their lessons practically in daily life.
Marketing via Facebook Profiles vs. Facebook Pages
Japanese people took a while to catch on to Facebook, but these days, pretty much all of Japan’s international yoga community is using it. And, as a result, many yoga teachers and studios have started using it to keep in touch with students and as a marketing channel.

Patio gardening is a great solution.

If you take some time to learn about the style of yoga that’s best for you, and make some decisions in advance, then you can stroll into your studio of choice as if you own the place.
