HARD YOGA EXERCISE DONE BY AN INDIAN YOGA MASTER



SAME EXERCISE DONE BY A RUSSIAN PERSON

I am taking this Peace of Mind with me to NYC

Last Evening at the Ashram...

So, my crusade is almost over... It's my last night at the Shivananda Ashram... I am really happy I went through this experience! I am really grateful for being able to fast for the full 5 days and eating raw for 6 days, I feel great! Also I am grateful for this Ashram experience. It's not a typical yoga retreat with luxury accommodations and super-friendly customer service, It's a "surviver" (half of the people leave in tents, we have to share bathroom and we don't always have hot water...) style retreat. So, it made us appreciate all we have and at the same time proves that you can be so happy without all that material stuff. I am really grateful for meeting so many wonderful like-minded people and making friends. I met Vera, Russian girl I met long time ago in Brooklyn, after so many years we met here, in the Ashram. I met one lady from East Village (my neighbor), she is a raw-vegan, so finally I'll have a company for vegan lunches and brunches :)
It's so great, I can sit outside under the palm tree, see the ocean, and write this blog :)
By the way, one of our yoga instructors is super-hot! I'll definitely come back!!! ;)
