India

Holy men and Yoga!

Rishikesh, the village of the spiritual searchers, strange locals, weirdo travellers, yoga fanatics and The Ganges River. In Rishikesh you don’t need to be entertained to have a good time. Just walk on the streets, look at all these people, listen to the hypnotising music and enjoy the views on the ganges river .

We, as blond cheeseheads, are completely standing out, here in Rishikesh.

But we are going to try a bit of integration by attending a yoga course. Rishikesh is The place, where people from all over the world flock, to do a yoga course. On every corner you’ll find an Ashram (a spiritual place where you can learn all details of yoga).

Today it is my (elles) turn to integrate. So at 5.15 pm it is my first time that I ly, besides the ganges river, on the ground strangled with my legs behind my head. The whole ritual is very relaxing and after one hour of breathing, relaxing and streching exercises I feel a new person. This is a perfect way to get rid of travel fatigue!

We will stay here a couple of days so I will go back for sure. Looking forward to it!
