Mindful Meandering

Yoga and meditation have been a way of life in India long before it became hip. Deep in the Himalayas, you can choose to undergo Vipasana – a silent retreat – to help your mind heal itself. Or take a less intense path;  seek Buddhist wisdom in Bodhgaya, where the Buddha achieved nirvana, experience simple living in an ashram along the shores of the River Ganges in Rishikesh, witness a heady mix of life and death on the burning ghats of Varanasi. As you explore India, let ancient Ayurveda practices in southern India calm your body, learn the art of meditation to calm your mind and adopt a yogi lifestyle so your mind and body function in harmony.  You’ll soon come to realize that mindful living is not a break from life, but life itself.
