Seeking enlightenment
I am several days into my stay at Sadhana Yoga, a retreat center in Sedi Bagar, which is a small village on the outskirts of Pokhara, Nepal. Our daily routine is wake up at 5:45, pre-meditation practices at 6, meditation at 6:10, morning walk at 7, tea at 7:45, yogic cleansing at 8 (mostly nasal passage washing), morning yoga at 8:30, breakfast at 9:45 (finally, so hungry by this point), mud or steam bath at 10 (the mud is interesting), break, pre-meditation practices at noon, meditation at 12:15, lunch at 1, break, karma yoga at 3:30 (helpingwith chores around the center), tea and popcorn at 4, chanting at 4:30, evening yoga at 5:30, dinner at 6:45, retiring at 8. Having a great time with all this and feeling quite rejuvinatedafter the month of travel, work, and trekking. It is a family run center and they are quite lovely people andwell experienced yogis. We have a view overlookingthe big lake in Pokhara and have a direct view of the World Peace Pogoda. There was a surprise guest yesterday, a photographer from the New York Times travel section, checfk out the next couple of weeks and maybe you’ll see me (not sure if I made the cut yet, will find out next week). Getting a massage today and runninga few errands in town before heading back to the sanctuary.
