WOw, this looks amazing Leanne! It actually looks a lot like the ashram imagery that I had running through my head when I read Eat, Pray, Love. I hope you’re having a wonderful time, and that you found some veggies too! All the yoga must be doing so many great things for your body. Can’t wait for your next recap!
Wow. Just beautiful. I would seriously love to do this some day. Can’t wait to hear all about the experience! I’m loving the guest posts too. I’ve discovered a bunch of new blogs! Thank you!
So beautiful Leanne. I hope you are having a peaceful, amazing, unexplainable time Has there been a moment where you’ve stopped and thought, “Holy crap. I’m in INDIA!” I feel like that would be me. I am so looking forward to reading all about your trip. Make it the best time of your life.
The holy crap I’m in INDIA thing took about 2 or 3 days to kick in. Then i was realizing it all the time. I’d see something and just say HOLY MOLY! I’m so far away from home and proud of myself! It’s too cool Glad to hear you’re doing well!
I can’t find the words to express my thoughts but I LOVE this post. You managed to tell a whole story without a single word. It was more then just a story but a feeling as well. Amazing. Simply amazing.
Wow, what a beautiful retreat. I looks so relaxing.
Actually, I think that this would be the one thing I’d really have a hard time doing, if I were there: relaxing! I’m so used to being “on the gun” all the time, it would be hard to just sit there and RELAX! Do you find it hard to do that, Leanne?
Mind you, I guess being in such a calm and quiet environment must truly help. Seriously. Your surroundings are simply astounding!
Ah…. I remember this place! I was there during summer of ’96. I have swept most of the ashram as a part of karma yoga practice. Loved the mite work and plain food and the lovely climate. An indian myself found the life at ashram a wonderful relief, i was in 6th grade then but the memories are still fresh, those rainy days, and mindless stares at the night sky….. phew
thanks for the pictures!
