The Host

An extended visit to India allowed me to begin to understand some of the traditions of Hinduism and appreciate its rich history. While trips to historical sites like the Taj Mahal were also memorable, it was the daily life in Chennai and the walk through a small fishing village to Sivananda Yoga Center that gave me the richest perspective.

While in Chennai I received about 30 hours of private lessons in beginning practice. My teacher was my age and had dedicated his life to living at the Centers and volunteering there, agreeing to go anywhere in the world they requested, and planned to do so for the rest of his life.

The host makes no claims as an officially credentialed yoga teacher. I just want to share my practice with my friends and make my practice a bigger part of my life.
