Salutations to the Sun
Each morning, we will greet the day with a spiritual practice consisting of yoga poses (asana), yogic breathing (pranayama) and meditation (raja yoga). Following breakfast, we will venture out to experience India. Some days will include group site seeing activities, and other days there will be free time for shopping, classes, practicing by the river, and mingling with the locals. During free time you are welcome to venture out alone, or in small groups, and find whatever activities appeal to you.

Evening activities will include chanting, meditation, and the amazing Aarti ceremony by the river.
