Yoga Retreat @ Kerala, India - November 10 - 20, 2012

Photo shot on the last day at the resort which sits on a 250 acres piece of land!
Myself, feeling and looking great with a nose ring on like the Indians! 
"WHAT? Merely 2 hourly sessions of yoga exercises and Ayurvedic massages twice daily with NO OTHER ACTIVITIES for the next 5 days?" 

An arrangement I was oblivious of, and had felt somewhat dispirited especially after having had the first taste of BLAND vegetarian food served upon arrival!  

My first yoga session too, with the aged Guru, a temporary replacement, I learnt later, who "lectured" more, than getting us involved in physical yoga exercises dissipated further my high spirits!  

Oh no.....to think that I  had visualized returning home with a more toned up and flexible body prior to setting off for this trip!! 

However, with my adaptability, I soon found myself cherishing every moment spent at the  Ayurvedic Resort, relaxing on the hammock typing out my thoughts on my iPad, surfing the internet and mingling with my fellow mates....


My favorite spot - on the hammock with the cool gentle breeze kissing my face and exposed limbs
.....heavenly.....
Haha! From nose ring to toe ring, don't I look every inch an Indian?
Bland food? So what? Consume less and work towards my weight loss success! As for lectures from the Guru? Honestly, he imparted fruitful knowledge as a professor should!
