Looking for yogis

bowker · 07-27-2005, 11:15 AM

I have been practicing yoga for a few months now, though I have only learned through books and undoubtedly have some very sloppy form. I am interested in traveling to India or somehwere similar for a couple of months to meet "genuine" yogis and learn what I can in that short time.
Unfortunately I have no idea where to start; how do i contact these people? If anyone has done something similar I would be greatful for any help to get me started.

Thank you for any help

Your ambition is wonderful, but does it exceed your wallet?

Traveling there would be a little pricey... I guess it would depend on your money situation. To me, I think as a newer student you may want to bide your time and save money while learning from a good instructor in your own area.

It sounds like your really ambitious about learning more. Just realize you don't become a yogi overnight or w/ a trip to India. It takes time, as all things do. Don't rush yourself or feel bad about not knowing everything... It would take a lifetime to get there, and even then you've only scratched the surface.

Good luck in whatever it is you decide on!
