namaste...
namaste,
here are a few pics' from my trip to india:
1. himalayan iyengar yoga center: that's where i took some intense yoga classes where i discovered a new relationship for the meaning of how important a strong foundation is not only in my yoga practice, but in life. and also i got to learn work on getting buns of steel in every class i took :) every morning was a breathtaking walk deep in the himalayas, with the snow line in view...the sun slowly creeping up from behind the mountains. monkeys playing in the trash, watching our every move.
2. tourist amidst buffalo: yup, that's me being a tourist...a perfect kodak moment! up close & personal...that was the constant mission in india was to avoid stepping in this sacred animal's poop :) we had just gotten off our 14 to 16 hour train ride from delhi to patankot, 3 hour bus ride to dharamsala, and 20 minute taxi ride to mcleod ganj, where his holiness the dalai lama is in exile. what an incredible pilgrimage!
3. bike shop in kathmandu: i had to take this picture for corey. state of the art wheels!!
4. rooftop picture in naikap, nepal: looking off of doug's family's rooftop in the wee hours of sunrise, a time of total peace and silence.
5. tourist & mini-buddha: i love this picture!! this was at mcleod ganj...i just grabbed this mini-monk and asked him to pose with me. so cute!!
6. temple walk: sacred prayer flags and beautifully painted holy stones on our walk to the buddhist temple...prayer wheels being turned...chanting "om mani padme hum".
wednesday, november 10th is world peace day. "may peace prevail on earth."
loving aloha,
ye
