Say Ommmmmmm

I spent the weekend at a yoga ashram, where the diet is 100 percent vegetarian. That's right: no meat. There's actually quite a bit of variety in the cooking, when you know how to do it. I was pleasantly surprised that I enjoyed the food so much. Though it was only 4 meals, I didn't miss meat at all.

However, I did not fare so well on the caffeine-free front. I got a terrible withdrawal headache in the middle of the day Saturday...and that made the whole yoga-and-meditation cycle difficult to enjoy. And in case you are wondering, the schedule is pretty rigorous. It's 5:30 am wakeup, followed by two hours of meditation, followed by two hours of yoga, and so on and so on.

Even if you've never done a single yoga pose, or cannot touch your toes - I highly recommend visiting an ashram at some point. It's very rejuvenating and good for your soul.

Have a good week everyone!
