Beautiful Bali

Monkeys swing from the tree tops, and there is green everywhere you look. Steeply terraced rice paddy covered hillsides cascade down towards rivers and waterfalls, and the feeling that this island is magical eminates from every living thing. I haven’t even seen the ocean yet, but I can sense its presence near by. For now, I am spending my time hidden amongst the wild jungle of Ubud.

For the past five days (and continuing for the next 25 days) I have been at a yoga teacher training retreat just outside of Ubud Bali. I’m not sure what kind of images “yoga teacher training” conjurs up in your mind, but even with the information I had prior to coming here I could never have imagined it would be an experience as incredible as this. I am surrounded by 40 beautiful souls, in the most gorgeous resort, eating a gormet raw food diet, meditating, learning about yoga, and most of all learning about life. Yes, I am in heaven!

I was also miraculously offered a job on my very first day in Bali. Hmmmm……a new part time home on this magical island…….I have always wanted to compliment all that skiing with a bit of surfing……oh the wonderful possibilities in this life.
