I'm on my way to India, January 30th. People have been asking me if I'm going just to travel, and the answer is no. I'm going to India for several reasons. One is to study yoga for two months in Mysore. Mysore is in Southern India, and it's world known for its yogis. It's an intense course of study involving twice a day yoga practice, my teacher himself studied under B.K.S. Iyengar, and completion of the course includes a Yoga Alliance teacher's certification. I've got some designs for possibly teaching yoga when I return to the states, but more than being a teach I see taking this course as a challenge building me up from my center. After studying yoga in Mysore I'm planning to head into the Himalayas. I plan on doing some social work there, teaching, helping however I can in with poor villages and displaced Tibetans. In my dreams I'll find my way onto a Himalayan expidition as a photographer. Photography is another large reason to go to India; I see India as an opportunity to do more with photography than just take pictures. Perhaps the photos I take in India can be used by non-profits, or simply to take others where I have been. This is a big journey for me. I'm not sure how it's going to work out, I'm not sure how long it's going to take. All I know is the time is right for me to go. So, if you're curious, check back. I'll keep posting.
