Sivananda Yoga Ashram, Neyyar Dam - Jan. 16, 2007

This morning I decided to go to the Yoga Ashram and stay there a few days so I can get back into yoga practice. There are a few hundred people here, and the schedule keep us pretty busy from meditation at 6 am, 2 hrs. of yoga in the morning and 2 hrs. in the afternoon, and two excellent vegetarian meals, and 2 tea times in between meals.
There are several temples and halls and they are just suspended by pillars so the cool breeze and wonderful views of trees, mountains and lake can be enjoyed while here. My first yoga class this afternoon, after 2 and a half months without practice, was very welcoming by my whole being, and I felt blessed to experience it in such open air and nature environment.
I started running into some familiar faces...we all move in similar circles.
