I’m Sleeping On The Floor At A Yoga Master’s House

Ok so yesterday we got off our 6 hour train ride, which was actually quite comfortable. I hung out on the top bunk and read a book for several hours and maybe fell asleep, I’m not sure. Some people laughed at me as I hurt myself trying to get down the first time, that was awk.

Arriving in Coimbatore the weather was kind of California like, dry and hot, but just a bit hotter than I’m used to. The taxi driver (who is also Bala’s neighbor) picked us up and I found out I’d be staying with him while we were here. We caught up on some work stuff last night and then I had dinner and went to bed. Turns out my bed was some blankets laid down on the floor, not exactly what I’m used to but thank the good lord for Ambien.

The yoga dudes house was pretty interesting. Actually, its literally a yoga mat on the floor and some dishes in the kitchen, I didn’t really see much of anything else besides his clothes drying. Less is more.

I fell asleep pretty early and i recall waking up in the middle of the night and this strange guy being next to me. Cool. In the morning he was MIA so I just kind of hung out. He had told me the night before we were going running and doing yoga in the morning around 7:30. I woke up around 7 and wandered around. When he came back we took a scooter ride down to an empty field. His english isn’t so hot but he started walking, told me to jog cuz he knew that was my plan. So I ran for like 30 minutes or something ridiculous and then stretched out afterwards and we were ready to head back.

So then was yoga time, he uses the same mat he sleeps on and I used the pile of sheets that I had slept on. I was pretty much only able to do the first half of stuff. I have horrible leg flexibility but it was still cool. He kept saying breathing was important. This is my first time doing YOGA OK.

Anyway, it was pretty cool, I’ll get a picture of the bathroom that I’m using.
