I am back home after three weeks in India – the ‘World Famous’ International Yoga Festival in Rishikesh, and bumming around in the Himalayas in Dharamsala. What an adventure in clarity it was…
The calming, constant Ganga Maa (Ganges River), sunrise yoga at a mountaintop Shiva temple, darshan (teachings) with the ashram’s Pujya Swamiji, intense and amusing Kundalini kriyas, aggressive monkeys, squat toilets, beautiful public cows, the best parathas, terrible overnight bus rides, Tibetan culture and the home of the Dalai Lama, waterfalls, trails, rain, and so much chai.
Have a look at some more photos from Rishikesh, and from post-yoga Himalayan trekking in Dharamsala.
