From Tamil Nadu to Kerala.<\/h3>\n

The Isha Yoga Center<\/a> students woke up at 4:30am to do their\u00a0asanas and pranayama. We started our day at 6:30am wandering around the large ashram. The highlight of our day\u00a0was the\u00a0Theerthakund, a pool of (quite cool) water. The pool is done in\u00a0an ancient way, with large steps down to the water like a stepwell, and a solidified and energized linga made of mercury in the middle. We took\u00a0a bath, a little similar maybe to bathing in the Ganges. Somehow the Theerthakund seems to have balanced our prana (life\u00a0energy) as we felt relaxed and balanced afterwards.<\/p>\n

We finally left at 3pm. Four top Indian yoga centers are now on our minds and on film.
\nOn the road again, we changed State from Tamil Nadu to Kerala and\u00a0drove down to Cochin, where we spent the night to be ready at 6am for our the next adventure – the Sivananda Ashram in
\nTrivandrum. Good night from Kerala, also called “God’s Own Country”.<\/p>\n
