Risikesh

I'm still in Riskesh I will be here till around 10 december. On 3 december my Yoga course will finish. I started the yoga course on 8 November and is a 4 weeks course, 6 days a week and 4 hours a day yoga plus another 1,5 hour lectures in the evening.

I realy enjoy the this little relax town although it is getting cold in the evening (10 degree) but during the day it is still around 24 degrees.

Every morning I get up at 6 AM to do my Kyria??? like cleaning my tong with a tong scraper, cleaning my teeth with salz, do Vomaty dauti, and clean my nose with a neti pot. This takes about halve an hour. Then I have to fill my bucket with warm water. The warm water is not in my room so I have to walk little bit. Then I have my 1 bucket warm water for my shower.

This is one of the small disadvantages of staying in Ved Nikatan a nice and relaxing ashram were a basic room only 50 rps cost. Then I do 45 minutes of Vipassana meditation,

Around 8 am I walk to the Yoga hal, this takes about 15 minutes. At 8:30 Am we start with the Yoga till about 10:45. The yoga is not very dynamic but the explanations of the different asanas are very good. We tend to keep a postures for approx. 3 till 10 minutes. 10 minutes can be very long for a beginner as me.

Around 11:00 am I walk back to my asram and cook to brown rice. The next 10 days I'm on a osawa diet, meaning I will eat only brown rice, chapaties and mint tea or black tea. Some other people of the course are doing the same diet.

Around 15 pm I practise my Tai chi for about 45 minutes. Some people like to join me then for some Tai Chi. Or at least they are following my movements.

At 5 pm my next two hours of Yoga start after around 2 hours of Yoga we have 20 minutes break and then we start with the evening lecture.

So as you can see I'm rather busy.

After 10 december I go to Varanassi and then on to Kathmandu (Nepal) to get a new visa for India. By the way I loaded up just few new pictures. The internet connection is very slow. But have a look.
