Once again, I have fallen behind with my blog updates…no excuses, just busy living life instead of writing about it. However, now I have time to do one and enough to tell to make it worthwhile. After our final days on the beach, Vanessa and I left towards Bangalore for our month long yoga course.
Summary of Yoga Course. Met some great people. The school was full of hypocrisy. Many people liked to talk to hear themselves, whereas the ones that were the best at it weren’t given enough time to do it. We were up at 4:30am and in bed by 9pm. We did learn a lot about the overall idea of yoga (not just asanas). One really nice thing about the course was that it was all on a campus that was quite quiet with no distractions. We went through the ups and downs with a lot of other people from Italy, Russia, Taiwan, France, Canada, and all parts of India. I ended up leaving a week early to go and spend some time at Jag’s before he leaves India while Vanessa finished up her month and is now a certified yoga instructor.
My week at Jag’s was well worth while as there were at least 50 patients a day and being one of the senior students I got a lot of hands on during the week, becoming more confident in helping people with their pains and problems and being even more sure of the effects that the food we eat have on our bodies and minds. We have also had a great time here with Chloe, Nantha, Nihar and of course Jag and his family. Today was a celebration at his house where we were lucky enough to attend and be spoiled by a special meal prepared…including deserts that are hard to chew and swallow and therefore make you caught smiling with a full mouth. We also have been working on our new sari saks and they are looking fantastic! A little time with Sunder and Premama to top off the week.
These picture below are in reverse chronological order. Thanks for bearing with me.
