Stumbled across this blog while looking for Yoga teaching in Mysore..<br />This is a wonderful blogspot and will keep coming back for more.<br /><br />Take care and wish you all the best<br />SaurabhSaurabh Rayehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15898446836735120063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4277020627848966799.post-38695178943849762222018-05-01T13:47:34.454+05:302018-05-01T13:47:34.454+05:30Narcis!

Can't believe you read all three in one go, that's probably like 30 minutes reading my blog :-D Thank you Narcis for reading. Really, you didnt know about my suit and tie beginnings? Hahaha, who could tell nowadays. I'll say hi to Alex of course, and yes we are always in touch :-)<br /><br />Oh thanks for your nice comments, saying that you consider it to be brave to have followed this path. Do you remember when I was just about to leave Belgium? Even back then you said it was brave, and I said it was probably stupid! And I'm still on it :-D <br /><br />Sending you big warm hugs from Cambodia. And yes, I'll keep writing!

I stayed in Auroville with a tibetan family and i was travelling a bit with a yoga retreat in the north, we wnet from agra and delhi up to manali and the himalayas, via rishikesh. <br /><br />i like how you write and i love how you dont compromise. the slowing down is so so peaceful when you become aware of it, its such a terrible need for the slowing down here in the crazy materialistic world, i must say it becomes more and more necessary. I was reading about countries and ideas where people have a Ministry of happiness and introducing yoga, meditation and kindness in schools, why dont we get more of that in our life? we need more kindness instead of success. <br /><br />jumping from one idea to another here, i just read you 3 blog parts about how you quit jobs and get to india, and i wanted only to drop a quick line :) it became more ... hey and its ROmania, by the way :) cheers to Alex if you guys keep in touch! all good for him too, i hope!! <br /><br />besitos, Marco!! keep doing good as you do!<br />Narcis Narcishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13200560013776752704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4277020627848966799.post-3377539116403585062018-04-20T07:59:17.482+05:302018-04-20T07:59:17.482+05:30Thanks Marco for your swift reply.

Thanks for taking the time to read my stories :-) So cool to hear that you've been at the same house in Mysore, and happy to hear that you've found my blog useful when visiting ashrams.

Your articles help motivate me during my Indian excursions. First I have come across your blog while looking for ashrams in Bengaluru, then was told by flatmate of mine in Mysore you used to rent a room in same house as me at Laxmipuram; your experience in Mysore remainded me of mine when it started with mixed feelings to better understanding and joy with ashtanga. Now here I learn about the beginning of your path, which compared to other spiritual people I have met on my road I consider as pretty happy path... greetings from Keralakubaspassageshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05052751020105187955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4277020627848966799.post-24094607142252528622018-04-19T08:37:34.516+05:302018-04-19T08:37:34.516+05:30Camilla!
