Yoga in India or India in the Yogi?

Announcement posted by the business of yoga 07 Mar 2016

would you like to see India?
What do you see when you think of Yoga in India? Yoga in India or India in the Yogi?  Was there Yoga in India or India in the Yogi? It was an amazing diversity of colour, people, beauty and devotion. The business of Yoga took a group of 9 women this time to the state of Kerala in Southern India to practice yoga, meditation and experience the culture and sights. I as the Australian guide and Yoga teacher didn't really have any idea what we were in or where I would be teaching yoga but I put complete trust in our guides from Rajasthan. A beautiful, interesting couple, Mukesh and Chanchel who always travel together and run tours all over India. They have an incredible story of devotion and pure love, defying the social norms of their Indian heritage. They have decided to forgo having their own family to eventually build and run an orphanage. After spending some wonderful days exploring  Cochin, seeing the city by boat, trying our bargaining skills in the market and having some perfect morning  yoga by the pool, we Travelled by small air-conditioned bus through the mountains into Munnar, the heart of the tea plantations. Leaving the bus we squeezed into a few open sided jeeps and drove up higher into a tea plantation as dusk was descending on the countryside, into Nature Zone. We had no idea how high we had driven and what our brilliant safari tents looked like from the outside. The morning birds awoke me and drew me out into the 6am sunlight that was peaking from behind the most amazing steep mountains in front of us, striking our earth with pure orange perfect light. Wow wow what a breath taking site to wake up to and start our yoga  and cultural adventure. We started out wanting yoga in India but ended with India in the yogi for sure. India is such a unique stunning place its hard not to embrace it and let it embrace you.
