Notre Dame de Paris, Île Saint-Louis

200 Hour Yoga Teacher’s Training
In the spirit of adventure and for the love of yoga, I booked return tickets to Delhi, India for a 200 hour Yoga Teacher’s Training Course in Rishikesh earlier this year. The town is based near the Himalayas and the source of the Ganges, in the north of India. Rishikesh is known as the World […]
