The Ashram

View from the ashram before sunrise

I don't have time to write a long post because there is so much studying to be done but I thought I would post something short in order to keep everyone updated.

First off the ashram is amazing! It is snuggled in a little valley, surrounded by mountains and hills. There are pomegranate tree and marijuana plants growing all around! Everyone gets drinking water from a little spring that is about a 3 minutes walk.

We wake up at 6am for satsung which is singing and chanting, then we mediate for 30 minutes. After mediation we head right to the outdoor platform to practice asanas (the physical postures) for two hours. During the day we usually have three different lectures and in the afternoon we practice teaching yoga and mediate again. It's intense but also really interesting and amazing. There are some really interesting people doing the course as well.

Hope everyone is doing well :)
