ashram to be continued

Life is strange: I'm waking up 5.30am and...actually I enjoy morning meditation and watching the sun coming out and the day starting. Yoga, which I knew b4, is a wonderful thing although after 4 hrs per day body hurts sometimes. On our days off we going to the beach resort and I found out thet the ashram is like a shelter. Shelter from all the nocis and hassles of outside world. All these sellers on the beach are so anoying. I was...happy to be back to our hasle-free place, to silence and birds. I met some wonderful people here and i feels good to stop after 10 months of continuaous changing buses and beds.

Welcome to the ashram

After rajastan, Carolina and me got back to Delhi. We said good bye to each other, hopefully we gonna meet one day somewhere and I took a flight to Kerala, very south of India.
I'm in sivananda yoga ashram. First days are tough - to get to a new routine:
6am - satsang: meditation and chanting, organisation matters
8am - asanas - means yoga exercise for 2 hours
10am - meal - of course indial and vegetarian
2pm - lecture
3.30pm - exercise another 2 hours
6pm - meal
8pm - satsang
10.30pm - lights off but by this time we are all dead tired already so no problem with lights off.
Well, one must be very determined in getting into yoga to be here. But the good things are that the centre is located in a national park, among palm trees and in the morning we hear lions roaring. And it is CLEAN. We all walk bare foot and no problem with it! Cleanest bathrooms I've seen in India so far!
