First Yoga Lesson

I just had my first yoga lesson here in the ashram. The teacher is called Sarasvati and like many others here in the Vrinda Kunja, she also comes from the south America, more precisely Colombia. There are eco-yoga villages that operate under the same guru in many south American countries.

I found the lesson very relaxing, even though the mosquitos bothered a little. From the 90 minutes we did asanas for about 45 minutes. The rest was listening to Sarasvati explaining the deeper thought behind yoga. I must say, I'm not very open to all the things she told us about. I'm happy with my life as it is and I'm not thinking of turning into a Hindu. I'm enjoying yoga for my own purposes, not as a way to find the "Unity".

There's no denying that there is a feeling of being converted here. But I think I'm much better able to repel a religion than my mosquito repellant is able to repel mosquitos. So nothing to worry people! I'm not going to return singing Hare Krishna.
