Last night the mist rolled in and has not yet left. Today is overcast and strangely comforting. I have now been in India for almost five weeks, and will leave on Feb. 12 for the Kerala beach towns of Cochin and Varkala. On Feb. 24 I will fly to Delhi and take a train to Rishikesh which is located in the foothills of the Himalayas. Rishikesh is the unofficial home of yoga...and the home of the International yoga festival. I did not know about the festival until I arrived here...an extra surprise! My yoga trainee buddy Diana from Mexico City and I will meet up at Parmath Niketan ashram to participate in yogic fun until March 7.
Dr. Senthil has been loading on the work...he outlined our final exams which will be both theory and practical. I won't bore you with the entire list but it covers pranayama, asana, disease and yoga therapy, chants and prayers, reports from patients we have worked with for therapy, and lots more. Diana figured out we are doing about 6 hours of yoga a day which is working visible changes in our bodies. My spare time is used for sleeping, studying and absorbing what is all around me.
Movie recc: The Three Idiots starring Amir Khan
A very funny Bollywood movie that cracked us all up..long but worth it. We watched it here at the retreat but it took 2 nights as we were all falling asleep after dinner...All is well!
