I’m on day three in the Ashram. The yoga is still pretty basic but good. We wake up at 5:20 and don’t eat until after 10am, that was quite hard to get used to. My stomach was grumbling all of day one and two. It’s hard to meditate, listen to chants and do two hours of yoga on an empty stomach.
Luckily, on the bus here I met two other travelers from Chicago and we immediately began planning our escape for The Super Bowl. It turns out we didn’t have to invest in black clothes because the swami gave me a note allowing me to leave. It was hard to bring myself to tell a swami the reason, but he was okay with it.
I only get 15 minutes online so you’ll have to wait until I get for my vacation from yoga vacation to hear more. I’m heading into Trivandrum on the 4th.

I can only imagine how the conversation with the swami went…I would have had hard time telling him as well!
Got your postcard. Thank you! Your message was perfectly you and it made me miss you even more. I’m glad I at least get to follow your adventures online sine I can’t see you in person.
Hi Meagan. Ann sent me this website and told me you are on a yoga retreat. I am so interested in going to India and studying yoga. I have been studying yoga at a studio near me and will become an instructor. I will go to Baron Baptiste teacher training I and II in Aug and Sept to be certified by him. I am hoping to leave flying and become a full time yoga instructor. You inspire me so much. You are fearless and I admire that. I now have your website and will be checking in to see all about your journey. You are an amazing person and someone who has special qualities. Be safe and enjoy your journey!!! Molly Lemanski
So, Yoga isn’t quite as interesting as watching the Bears win the Superbowl, huh? I see where your priorities are! Enjoyed the time we spent together, Megan. Happy traveling!
