When interviewing Michelle @cliffs_of_moher_retreat for The Irish Times/Danone project I discovered we both trained as yoga teachers in the Sivananda Ashram in the Himalayas, India. I did my teacher training in 2014 and have still never thought a class! One of the best things about the course was getting to live in the midst of the Himalayas and being able to go for a dip in the River Ganges each morning. Here’s me practicing just outside the ashram; what a setting! - - - #InSync #liveinsync #mindful #mindfulliving #selfcare #activia #activiayogurt #yogalover #yogalife #yogaretreats #yogaoutside #yogagirl #yogini #yogateacher #happiness #holladee #sivananda #sivanandayoga #sivanandaashram #yogateachertraining #himalayas #ganges #ganga #riverganga #gangesriver #indiatraveller #visitindia #yogaasana #asana #rishikesh
