I have decided to embark on a fascinating journey. This past Wednesday my Healing, Birthing, and Dying class took a little field trip to Main Street Yoga Studio in downtown Bloomington. I have been looking forward to this trip since syllabus day! This trip was also of great importance to me because I am actually working with the founder of the studio for my ethnographic research paper on Ayurveda and yoga.
As we were sitting in this calm room listening to the two ladies speak to us about doshas, chakras, Ayurveda, and yoga, I found myself entranced. Never before have I been this completely absorbed in something. Now this is a big thing for me because yoga just isn't an exercise, like everyone believes. It is a spiritual way of life. Me, spiritual? Say what?!
My point, EXACTLY! For the first time, I feel drawn to something spiritual. Everything that I have learned thus far about yoga and the Ayurvedic way of life has inspired me. So this is my new journey. I'll let you know how it goes.
