Re: My Ashram Experience – Phool Chatti Ashram In Rishikesh, India

Letty — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 09:59:00 -0000

Hello Kristen,
Great to read this experience. I will stay in Phool Chatti at the end of October and your story gives me more understanding of what I can expect. I have some questions.
1. Is it possible to walk from Rishikesh to Phool Chatti? (because I will stay 4 weeks in Rischikesh and want to have a look at Phool Chatti as soon as I arive)
2. Is it okay to walk around Rishikesh and around Phool Chatti when you are a woman alone?
3. What is the weather at the end of October and the beginning of November?
4. Is it really necessary to wear white clothes?
5. Is it posible to skip some yoga if it is to heavy (because I have some problems with my back)
I would realy appriciate it if yoy could answer this questions!
With love!
Letty

Hi Kirsten. thank you for sharing your experience at Phool Chatti. We have been in contact with this ashram and are planning to spend a week there this x-mas. What time of the year were you there? I'm afraid it will be very could when we're going. Is there anything you suggest we should bring with us? Or something we should quiery after before our visit?
Are you an experience yoga practitioner? We have quite different levels of experience.

Enjoyable. The doorstop I've never thought of -- and I will take it next time. For rope, I might substitute paracord -- but to each her or his own. Best w/ your adventures.

This was the title of one of my favorite self-help books- maybe one of yours too. I've come to accept that I'm scared quite often and that it's OK to feel that was as long as it doesn't hold me back. - Mary

Life was way easier working a 9-5 office job. I made a lot more money and worked less, but life was dull and fulfilling. In my opinion, travel blogging requires serious commitment,adherence to goals, & diligence. - Mary

Glad to read that you had a good experience with the bamboo tattoo. I have no pain tolerance so ink is not my thing, but Bret would love to get several more tattoos to add to his collection. - Mary

It's a tiny island but there's plenty more to do. If you're into your old cities, Valletta is another lovely one to visit. Then there's the Mosta dome with its crazy WWII bomb story, Chadwick Lakes if you're here in the winter, Gozo if you want to get off the mainland for a few days, Comino for a swim in the blue lagoon... I grew up on the island and am here at the moment for a few weeks. More here: http://hannahandtheworld.co... :)

This is hilarious, I remember when the first female urinary director came out, my mother in law did the patent search for it and had samples. They were made of what looked like wax paper. That was in the late 90's they've come a long way since then.

I
was in the same predicament. After a lot of researching and playing
around with flight searches, I also found that one-ways are often
cheaper and more flexible. Win-win!

Great video - I love how you put it all together, and how easy it is to see what to pack!

Thanks! True about the pocket knife, although it did get past security once. Kind of scary actually. The tweezers have always made it through as well as the nail clippers.

Nail clippers, pocket knife and tweezers probably won't get through security in your carry on in many parts of the world. But otherwise I love your approach to travelling light!

I'm actually making a video on "What to Pack for Your Travels" right now! haha. Be sure to catch it by subscribing to my channel: http://www.youtube.com/hops...

I used the bungee to tie things to my bag like a sleeping bag or pillow. I used the rope as a clothing line to dry clothes all the time.

did you use the rope/bungee cord? For what? :)
and the compass?
Looks like a GREAT list! Thanks...
