So we decided to go on a break, and somewhere that was relaxing and cheap, and I remembered a place that I had went to as a kid; Sivananda Yoga Ashram! This place was beautiful, and really great if your loooking for a spiritual retreat, and a place to practise your yoga! These Ashrams are located all around the world, so you might find on nearby, or not so near actually( we drove 8 hours), but it is worth going if you find one. Filled with Lectures on health, balancing mind and body,LOTS of yoga, and also a taste of some Hindu culture. For us it felt like a whole different country situated within our own country, the people were deffinately alot different, and more intelligent, the workers there were volunteers, and lived off of the food, and rented spaces. Karm yoga was very popular as well, instead of hiring cleaners, and cooks, everybody helped around to improve their "karma", and too be good people, kind of like one big family! Anyways, we stayed in a tent that was located in a forest type deal, and we walked around barefoot, like true Yogis. The diet is strictly vegetarian, and yummy currys, lentils, and other spicy Indian food, so its hard to be a picky eater around there;)!! Definately a good palce for summer vacation, and relaxation:
