Travel Inspiration: The Yoga Retreat That Made Me Ditch My Day Job
As a busy urbanite, you don’t always realise the stress your body is under. I had been in a job I had disliked for a while. I was sick at least once a month so I felt I owed myself a holiday.
Four Yoga Holidays: Stretching and Chilling Around the World
Yoga is no longer the preserve of ancient Indian masters; rather the practice is well on its way to world domination and as such has swept around the globe spawning all manner of luxurious, traditional and unusual holidays catering for all manner of practitioner.
Taking Time to Reflect
We are currently strengthening our bodies, empowering our minds and finding health and balance in our lives at Rancho la Puerta in Baja California, Mexico. To really delve into the process we are leaving our computers in their cases
Five Things we Liked in India
We spent just shy of three months in India and while it wasn’t our favorite place that we have visited on the planet, there were some bright moments during our time on the subcontinent. Here are the 5 things that we enjoyed in India in order of when they occurred. Yoga in Goa, Exploring Hampi, Chilling in Udaipur, Golden Temple of Amritsar, Holi Festival
Our Yoga Instructor in Goa
I could write about our Swami on Patnem Beach and tell you everything that I have learned. But I find that his website that is posted on his business card gives a better story than I could ever tell. We didn’t realize that we were taking classes from someone quite extraordinary. He has a presence and is calm and peaceful, but until we pulled up a chair the other night and read his story, we didn’t know just what Swami Shinva Nand Jee was all about. Our jaws dropped once we finished reading this post written by another of his students and it tells his story so beautifully, that we just had to share it with you.
Patnem Beach has some Pretty Awesome Yoga
It was supposed to just be a drop in class when we visited Swami Shiva Nand Jee’s class on Patnem Beach. We followed the painted fabric yoga signs to a tranquil hut behind Mountain Palms Restaurant. Three and a half bamboo thatched walls enclose a yoga studio. Large beach mats lay over the sand with rows of yoga mats facing centre. Many people are intimidated by the photos of our instructor pasted on the walls. His body is contorted in all directions. Legs over his head, postures where he is shaped like a pretzel. He’s not going to make us do that is he?
Our Top Adventures in Asia
In Six Days we will be in India. While it is drawing closer with every minute, it doesn’t even feel like in less than we week we will be on the other side of the world. We may be starting in India, but we have a lot of countries on our itinerary and we can’t wait to visit all of these destinations. So we want to share with all of you the adventures that we are most looking forward to in our upcoming travels. Will Dave be wrestling in Mongolia or will we find ourselves taking part in a Pilgrimage…Most Likely. We just can’t wait to get this adventure started!
