Beware of the Crocodiles


Some of the gang from the Sivananda Ashram



Crocodile lake which is just below the Ashram



Don’t know if I can quite believe it myself, but have just spent 2 1/2 weeks in an Ashram. During our stay we had to do yoga for 4hrs a day and meditation and chanting for another 3hrs a day. Up at 5am and bed at 10pm, living in a dormitory. Hay what the hell, I had a great time and was pretty flexible after the experience.
The location was beautiful, in the mountains quite near Thrivandram with a huge lake, which we swam in against the advice of everyone… look at the photo. While doing yoga in the open air hall you can hear the loins roaring across the lake…. Didn’t know there were loins in India but there you go.
