Dear all,
I am grizzly, indian who left India at the age of 16 promising never to return. 10 years later I did return, several times, sometimes every 3 months. 6 years ago I tried sivananda yoga in an authentic ashram in Kerala, after that experience I came back to the uk, made money and then went back to India. I did that for about 6 years. Now after quiting my job in London for the 4th time. I have finally decided to go to India again and learn yoga for 6 months. I am not going to do a ttc course as I do not think time is right for that.however, I will practice and learn from many teachers. I am writing to you all to point me in the right direction if you know any good ashrams where you can live in a quiet town close to nature and lern yoga everyday. Nothing too serious just simplicity. I have seen these yoga retreats in India and they are far too expensive for me, but I also plan to volunteer in exchange of yoga classes. I can manage my own accommodation.
I can go back to the same sivananda ashram in Kerala but last time I was there I had a specific spiritual experience which change my mind and body. I do not want to try to replicate that experience as that can lead to disappointment.
Bol bam
Grizzly
