The last few days have been busy, and so I haven’t had the chance to start writing about our last few days in Udaipur until several days after we left. Even in such a short time some of the details start to blur from day to day, but I will try and include as much…

After a long day of travel we arrived, as per the last blog, in Udaipur on Monday evening. We have until next Monday in the city, but we have changed the plan slightly from here in that, instead of going to Jodhpur straight away, we are spending two nights in the Mount Abu area to…

We’ve moved quite a bit in the last 4 days, and I’m starting writing this blog on our flight from Kochi to Mumbai. I will cover the 4 days in which we have travelled from Munnar down to the bird sanctuary in Thettekad, then from there for our last night in Kochi, and finally our…

The Shade, our new homestay for the next 5 nights, is not actually in the mountain town of Munnar itself. Instead it is about a 30 minute drive through the Western Ghats mountains to the south-west, near the towns of Anachal and Aadi. We had decided whilst in Kochi on some good recommendations to shorten…

We still had another 3 full days in Kochi remaining from where I finished last time, so in this blog I’ll cover those days and our journey up into the Western Ghats mountains to the east of the Keralan coast. Thursday – Overnight between Wednesday and Thursday there was what must have been a huge…

Our week in Kochi (or Cochin) has, so far, been a busy one with loads to see and do compared to the relative quiet (temple music notwithstanding) of Munroe Island. As such, I will write about the first 3 days now, which I think will be the most action-packed, then the last 4 once we…

Given we are now out of YTT, which is already feeling like such a long time ago, I think I will try now to write about each day in turn. Mainly this is to help me remember what we did given our days are pretty full, and to make it easier to put the right…

And suddenly, we were in our last week of yoga teacher training! The first two days of the week proceeded much like the previous weeks, with yoga and theory as normal. But, from Wednesday onward, we finished with the yoga classes led by the teachers and began to lead the classes ourselves. We were split…

After our first two weeks of yoga teacher training, we’ve settled into the routine of the school. That said, the 5.30am alarm doesn’t get easier with practice and the 4 hours of yoga a day has a cumulative effect on the body so that, by Thursday or Friday, the stairs to the upstairs yoga shala…

It a slightly delayed start to my India & Nepal blog, which I will (from now on) try to write once a week or so. At the time of writing, we have been in India for about two and half weeks. Even in that short time the earlier days in Mumbai, and even the beginning…
