Celebrating International Yoga Day on 21st June 2024, Theme "Yoga for Self and Society"

The summer solstice brings not just longer days but also a global celebration of wellness – International Yoga Day! Marked annually on June 21st, this day serves as a powerful reminder of the ancient practice's profound impact on individuals and society as a whole. This year's theme, "Yoga for Self and Society," beautifully captures the essence of yoga – a practice that cultivates not just physical well-being but also a sense of connection and harmony within ourselves and with the world around us.

Yoga for Self: Cultivating Inner Peace and Well-being

Yoga, derived from the Sanskrit word "yuj," meaning "to yoke" or "to unite," embodies the philosophy of bringing harmony to the mind, body, and spirit. Whether you're a seasoned yogi or a curious beginner, International Yoga Day is the perfect time to explore the many benefits this practice offers for your "Self."

Stress Reduction: The world can be a stressful place. Yoga, with its emphasis on mindful breathing and gentle movement, is a proven stress reliever. Studies show that regular yoga practice can lower cortisol (the stress hormone) levels, promoting feelings of calm and well-being.

Improved Flexibility and Strength: Yoga isn't just about stretching – it also incorporates strengthening poses that build muscle tone and improve flexibility. This combination can not only enhance your physical capabilities but also improve posture and reduce the risk of injuries.

Enhanced Body Awareness: Yoga encourages you to pay attention to your body's sensations and movements. This heightened awareness can help you identify areas of tension or discomfort and ultimately lead to a deeper connection with your physical self.

Mental Clarity and Focus: The practice of focusing on your breath during yoga poses can help quiet the mind and improve concentration. This can translate into improved focus in your daily life, whether at work, school, or simply navigating a busy day.

Yoga for Society: Fostering Connection and Harmony

This year 2024 the international yoga day theme "Yoga for Self and Society" underscores the importance of how yoga's benefits extend beyond the individual. As we cultivate inner peace and well-being through our practice, we contribute to a more peaceful and harmonious society as a whole.

Building Community: Yoga classes provide an opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals who share your interest in wellness. These connections can foster a sense of belonging and community, essential for a healthy society.

Promoting Empathy and Compassion: The core principles of yoga, such as ahimsa (non-violence) and aparigraha (non-possessiveness), encourage empathy and compassion. As we integrate these values into our practice, we can extend them into our interactions with others, fostering a more caring and compassionate world.

Promoting Global Wellbeing: International Yoga Day serves as a reminder that yoga is a practice for everyone, regardless of nationality, religion, or background. By coming together on this day to celebrate yoga, we promote a sense of global unity and well-being.

Today's (11/5/2024) Episode: Better Together

The launch of Watcher Tales had made Luigi into a Global Superstar, and he had every intention of keeping it that way!

To that end he continued creating and posting self promotional content, which came with the added bonus of maxing his Media Production skill.

Luigi decided to encourage Skye’s love of photography and farm good publicity for them both by helping Skye sell his best photos to the tabloids. “As a bonus” he told Noemi “Every photo they buy from our son is one less they’ll publish from those paparazzi plumholes!”

Of course, publishing intimate photos taken by his son in and around their island home had the side effect of broadcasting where Luigi lived.

When it came to the fans Luigi was, as always, kind. It still felt a bit overwhelming, but he decided as long as he could keep them outside the house the adoration of the public was a price he was willing to pay for fame. After all, the alternative was fading into obscurity, and he wanted no part of THAT!

He was much less thrilled when paparazzi invaded the family's nightly yoga session. He laid into the photographer, his harsh words and angry tone bringing his sensitive son to tears. When he saw Noemi usher the distraught Skye into the house, he cut off his rant with a terse “never come back here, or else!” and stomped inside to apologize to his family for his outburst.

That uncomfortable incident brought to light that Luigi was not as ready to be done with anger management therapy as he’d thought.

He had been finding his sessions with Dr. Valasquez less beneficial and had told Noemi that he was considering quitting. “I don’t know how much more she can teach me”. But that experience changed his tune, and he redoubled his effort to, as his wife put it “make the most of therapy”.

One thing Luigi knew: none of the fights he’d gotten into in his life had really been “worth it”. He was determined to break the cycle, one day at a time.

Luigi still struggled with his temper when he felt Sims had wronged him, but his reputation as a kind and helpful friend and co-worker was undisputed.

He got a chance to remind himself of the positive aspects of his nature when the first Foxbury intern from the program he and Professor Silva had established showed up for work. 

Remembering his own internship at The Cantina Luigi didn’t hold back, pushing his young protégé hard to teach them as much as he could.

In the end the young sim proved they had a keen understanding of the game, suggesting ways the team could improve Luigi hadn’t even considered!

He thanked Coach Silva for sending such a fine recruit, and his old friend told him that the program was working out great for Foxbury too. The lure of internships with the Nation’s premier E-Sports teams had drawn more promising players to the university that semester and their team looked great.

Luigi’s intern and his old mentor weren’t the only sims he had the opportunity to help that spring.

He worked hard to encourage Skye to stay on top of his schooling, and his natural cheeriness helped counter his son’s own naturally gloomy nature.

Noemi also did her best to help Skye deal with the frequent bouts of sadness that plagued him. He resisted the idea of going to therapy himself, but she pulled from her own experiences to “sneak in” some self esteem exercises that she thought would be beneficial for him.

Even when they were both busy with work, the pair made sure that Skye enjoyed a warm, rich environment full of toys and animal friends. 

All that positive reinforcement bore fruit, giving Skye the confidence he needed to work on improving himself.

In addition to his photography, he advanced to using the play kitchen to make some simple real foods, although few appealed to the refined palate he had inherited from his father. He also started practicing on the violin his grandfather had given him for Winterfest. It wasn’t his favorite activity, but he liked the classy look of the instrument and hoped to get good enough to play it for Grandpa Gilbert one day.

The achievement that made Skye’s parents proudest of him was his improved grades. He’d struggled at first, being unable to see his textbooks clearly and not used to sitting in a classroom for hours on end, but with his glasses and a little time he managed to turn things around, much to their delight.

Working through their struggles as a team helped Luigi and his family thrive in the new year.

They cherished each others company and support, being reminded by their success that everything was better together.

Taz Skylar on training his body and cooking skills ahead of One Piece Season 2!

Taz Skylar was met with an overwhelmingly warm welcome from One Piece fans at the 2024 MEFCC

By Sarah Kuleib ( February 15, 2024 )

Every pirate crew needs a cook. With a captain like Monkey D Luffy, whose ship seems to sail to the sounds of his stomach, finding a cook who could whip up the most delicious bowl of fried rice to join the Straw Hat Pirates was pretty high on his priority list. Luffy finds his cook in Sanji, and Netflix’s smash hit One Piece finds their Sanji in Taz Skylar.

When the Spanish-British-Lebanese Olivier Award-nominated actor was announced to be playing the romantic chef, Sanji, in Netflix’s live-action adaptation of One Piece, Skylar was catapulted to international stardom.

Skylar and his co-star Iñaki Godoy (Luffy), were recently in Abu Dhabi for the 12th edition of the Middle East Film and Comic Con (MEFCC), where they were met by thousands of passionate fans in straw hats queuing up for hours to take photographs, get autographs, and witness the pair’s charming interactions at panel discussions.

Esquire Middle East sat down with Taz Skylar at the MEFCC to discuss his intense stunt training, Season 2 of One Piece, and what’s in store for the rest of 2024.

–

ESQ: You’re a man of many titles: actor, screenwriter, thrill-seeker, professional surfboard creator. What drew you to each of those things and how do they come together to inform one another in your career and life?

TAZ: I was a really shy kid and I never used to leave home much. Thrill-seeking, I used to see it in movies and I thought “Oh that would be cool!” Surfing was the first thing that I did. I remember the first time I got in the water with a surfboard and a wave hit me – it wasn’t even very big but I was little, and I was like “Ahhh!”, and I got out [of the water]. The guy who was teaching me – he was called Juanito, and he’s still my friend today, 15 years later – was like “What are you doing man? Get in!” He grabbed me, put me back on the board, and pushed me out and that changed my life that day. That was the gateway. I got into other scary stuff and I would get angry at being scared. So if I was scared I would be like, “Cool, now there’s no choice, now you gotta do it.” That kind of spiraled and now it’s just a thing that I do.

Writing and acting… well, acting was an accident.

ESQ: A happy one?

TAZ: It was a happy accident! I’m very happy about it! I only like acting when I like the thing I’m acting in; nobody likes acting when they don’t like the thing they’re acting in! So, I only act in things that I like – at least now, I’ve definitely made that choice – and I always like what I’m writing. I want to make films, I want to make shows. Being in them is a cool part of it, but I want to make stuff. In a world where financial security is there, I don’t find much point to life other than leaving a legacy I can be proud of, and I think that can achieved by making stuff.

ESQ: There’s a different joy in filmmaking and writing.

TAZ: Yeah, yeah! You feel resolved in what you’re doing and connected. You have some sort of choice over what it can say or what the outcome can be. One Piece in particular was really cool because Matt and the whole team were really good to us in terms of saying “What do you want to do with it? What do you want to bring to it?” and that’s not always the case. When I do a writer’s room with other writers, my thinking is like: What do you like? Do you want to sit on a chair? A yoga mat? Do you want to bob around on a skateboard? What makes you most creative? Because whatever it is, do that thing. That’s the kind of environment I want to create and be a part of. When a film or show or play has been made in that way, you can feel it, you can feel that it’s been made very rag-tag.

ESQ: On the topic of One Piece, how did you prepare for the role of Sanji – mentally and physically, I know you did all of your own stunts – and with season 2 confirmed, is there anything you learned that will inform or change how you prepare for season 2?

TAZ: Ooh… yeah I did all my own stunts! Part of how I prepared for it… I really went psychopathic on it. Like, let’s throw absolutely everything we possibly can at the wall because we don’t have much to stick right now, we’re starting from zero.

It was 4 hours of training in the morning, then I’d cook a dish we needed to do for the show, repeat that dish over and over again, another 4 hours, then we’d go to the sauna and stretch, they’d pull on my legs and push on my back. That made me improve really quick but what it also did was decimate my legs. I have scar tissue on the inside of my ligaments and it took me about a year to feel like I could land on my legs without pain – I used to duct-tape my legs! I had to be quiet about it so they’d let me do my own stunts.

There was no real way of improving whilst not hurting myself because of how far we needed to go. Whereas for the second season, because I’ve maintained my level and haven’t stopped training ever since– I trained this morning with Iñaki at the UFC gym [in Abu Dhabi]! Iñaki came with me to a kickboxing session and he’s gotten so good at tricking in between the seasons too! So, because we’re kind of at a level that we’ve maintained, the second season for me is about how much quicker I can be. There are not many new kicks or moves to learn, so it’s more about how great we can make those moves. Part of it is going: instead of training 8 hours today, I’m going to train 4 and focus on choreography. Or maybe today I’m just going to do 2 and then stretch, because the less injured everything is, the quicker everything moves.

So for season 2, I want to enjoy it more, and I want to make what we had a lot better… and I want [to do] the party table kick.

ESQ: Was there a specific stunt that was the most difficult to do?

TAZ: Yeah! So there was this one where we jump over a pool, kick the Fishman mid-air, and land on a little rock. And that was all practicals! It was so difficult to do because he was underwater and they had to time pulling him out of the water at the exact same time that I jumped, and landing at the same place so that I could kick, and then there was another wire pull that took him to the other side of the pool. That must’ve taken an hour and a half which doesn’t sound like that much, but we were up against time. I remember thinking: “If we don’t get this, they’re going to cut it. They’re going to cut the stunt and this stunt will never exist.” It was the last take where we just managed it and they all looked at it and went “Cool, we got it! We can keep it!”, and we just started cheering. Isn’t it mad to think that there’s a world in which half an hour would’ve made the difference between it existing and not existing?

ESQ: Now, I must ask… how do you really feel about Oregano?

TAZ: [Laughs] Ha! I love it! I put it on salads! It’s not for savages! It’s nice – have oregano it’s good for you!

ESQ: Who and what are some of your personal influences as an artist?

TAZ: Florian Zeller is my favorite writer. Rappers are my favorite poets. I like old films. Keanu Reeves in Point Break made me want to skydive and surf and jump out of planes. I love Bond. My dad loves Bond, we used to have a box set. I love the way those films are made. I just worked with Martin Campbell who made two of my favorite Bond films.

ESQ: What’s in store for Taz Skylar this year?

TAZ: I’ve got four TV shows in development, with different production companies. One of which is called Seesaw which made a lot of Florian Zeller’s films that I’m really excited about! I don’t have that much time until we go shoot [One Piece] again. There’s a book I’m trying really hard to get the rights to and adapt, so I’m chasing the author about that. I’m going to try and see if I can get all of those things done before I go shoot again.
