A day for relaxing ....or not!


Sundays are our days off at the Ashram and with the rigid schedule they have in place we have been looking forward to it all week. In our yoga classes which are held 3 times a day we delve deeply into each asana deconstructing it and discussing all angles of the poses, spending about 15 minutes on each one. We kinda missed the flow as well as the individualised aspect of practicing yoga so Melissa offered to lead a flow class on our rooftop to start off the day for a few of the girls! 
Hows that for enthusiasm? 7am on our day off  and still doing yoga
Liza and Aida 
Tell me you don't love my Ali Baba pants, cost me a grand total of $6. 
We then decided to get a traditional Ayurvedic full body massage at a clinic in the city.
What an experience ! So relaxing 
Any takers for Green Hairs ?
Black Lips anyone ? What about Height Increasing ?

Ayurvedic Texts at the Dr's office 

Might as well get a pedicure and read up on some Bollywood gossip 

Cows are the only thing that can stop traffic in this country. So if you dont wana get run
over....hang with them. Holy Cow  !
We decided to go out for dinner and venture away from the yogic diet (we are such rebels)
This is Melissas drink, its called "Fire on Ice" , please not the jalapeno on the rim of the glass 
Eagerly awaiting our feast ! 


Cottage Cheese 
No Idea 
Delicious ! 

So are we well rested? Definately not. It was back to Karma Yoga at around 6am this morning and we had a busy Monday. There are constantly people in and out of the Ashram who are seeking help through Yoga Therapy. It is a charitable organisation so we have the oppurtunity to meet and interact with a lot of people that come to visit throughout the day. Learnt a few words in Hindi so far but you gotta love having a conversation with someone speaking a totally different language but somehow it works out......

Stay tuned for Tuesday's delights!
With Love from India !
