I will be spending nearly a year at an Ashram in India. Any tips or advice?

@Chi_ That sounds nice, I wish you the best over there :-) I've also had some thoughts about doing a similar thing, just haven't entertained them seriously (yet). I'll pm you asking for some extra info

@Chi_ Great <3

Be ready for traffic beyond belief from airport to Isha.

During my short stay, accepting the traffic was more difficult than the spiritual practice

@Chi_ there are differerent opinions on this. I think It's not needed and my hatha teacher sayed the same. But you do what you feel like. 

Alright, thanks for the advice. I think I'll just get the most common ones atleast, as I'll be going there for a longer time than the hatha yoga teacher training, therefore the chances are higher

@Chi_ plus you will feel safer

So good for you

Thank you! I think it has gotten easier than ever to do something like this nowadays. Hope you also make it soon. 

I replied to your message with all the details

I'll be taking a taxi to the ashram  as long as I'll be there within a few hours, I am good

Good luck. I would like to do something similar in the future. Have a Guru to teach me the path, because I've been do it all by myself and its pretty tricky.
