Namaste Bros,
We have just finished a four day yoga and meditation retreat in the Sacred Valley. We started every day bright and early with a nice relaxing meditation, followed by an hour and a half of broga (also known as "yoga" to all you normal people). After a dank breakfast of dank foods, including homemade yoghurt, quinua, and fresh fruit, we did our 45 minutes of daily seva (chores done with love <3), which was usually followed by a lesson or workshop. We learned sick things such as Reiki (energy healing), Pranayama (life breathing techniques), Vedic Astrology (it was a shock to find out we weren´t all the sign we had always though we were!), Chakras (the seven main energy points in the body), Yoga Philosophy, Mantra Meditation, and many more of life enhancing lessons. After these two hour lessons or workshops it was usually time for lunch, one of the best times of day. The food was all vegetarian and all delicious. Even us boys didn´t have a single longing for meat the whole time!!!!!! After a well-needed rest, we resumed work-shopping and yogaing, with another two hour class before dinner. We were lucky enough to be staying at the beautiful retreat with a wonderful family who was always willing to share their wisdom. Saranagati, the wife, is from New Mexico, so it was nice to have another American spirit around. Chaitanya, her husband, is a native Peruana, and the two of then combined taught us a shit load about yoga, meditation, homeopathy, and lots of other cool stuff. Despite being really sore, we all had an amazing time, learned a ton, can all do shoulder stands, warrior 1 and 2, bridge pose, and many more cool poses. We also learned that it is possible to sit in silence for a whole hour! Now we´re back in Cuzco for a few hours of sleep before we set off on our Machu Picchu trek at 4 am. We will see you all soon!
Namaste,
Austin squared
