November 27th - December 27th It is hard to describe my month of yoga in all of its true essence. I chose to study traditional yoga, searching for something real and authentic, but not wanting it taught as a religion, and in my search found Wise Living Yoga Academy. In truth, I didn't know what all that would entail at first but after receiving a pre-arrival assignment, learned I was in for something a bit different than what we call yoga in the west. I lived and studied at Wise Living Yoga Academy with two amazing teachers, Daniel and Jeenal, explaining to us what yoga is. Daniel and Jeenal studied and received a blessing to teach what they have learned from The Yoga Institute in Mumbai India (the oldest school for yoga in the world). Our ... read more

We flew in to Chiang mai on Thursday 3rd October and arrived to a hotel filled with a mental amount of Asian furniture, statues, and random trinkets..

Matt and I are so glad that someone suggested a night on a junk boat in Halong Bay. This was a vacation within a vacation. It was a rather long bus ride (3.5 hours) one way, but well worth it. It is foggy season in Halong Bay, but that almost made it more majestic. The bay consists of hundreds of small (mostly uninhabited) islands that just are spotted off the coast. There are some amazing caves on some of the islands that we got to explore, as well as kayak around the floating fisherman villages (complete with schools and dogs!). I am quite proud of myself for eating so much seafood (I am still not at the point were I enjoy it yet). We are meeting a lot of Austrailans on this trip, including 4 friends ... read more
