Room with a view

I don't even know where to start. I got my first night sleep in 2 days last night and woke up beaming to the sound of maybe a hundred chanting yogis crossing the bridge at dawn. It was surreal as is much of what I've experienced so far.

We cross this long but skinny bridge to get to the village. This shot is from the top of our yoga studio temple - which is on the opposite side from where the hotel is. If u look closely to the right of the bridge u can c the balcony of our hotel where u have breakfast. Its very simple and beautiful.

Today we took the craziest bus ride along long, winding cliff side roads - more like new york city driving and beeping while u speed along the steep edges praying "I am safe" ... "I am calm" (trying to pretend I'm not scared shitless). We arrived at a 5,000 year old cave that have been homes to yogis for thousands of year. We sat in the pitch black for meditation. Again, surreal. But just like in the US we got the boot out when we stayed a few minutes past closing up shop. Gave us all a good laugh. But in my haste to find my way out in the dark I left my yoga mat - hopefully passing it on to another yogi to enjoy!

I have experienced more in 2 days than I have in months / years! This trip is all a huge "off the mat" yoga practice.

Go ravens!!!
