First Post - Joining an Ashram

Since I joined the Divine Art of Yoga Center and began practicing yoga and meditation on a regular basis, I have experienced a shift in my life that has astounded both me and the people close to me.

Am I more fit and flexible? Yes. Have I lost weight? Sure. Am I calmer in general? Much. Am I far less prone to get grouchy? My wife says yes. Has my blood pressure gone down? My doctor says yes.

Am I happier and more at peace than I've ever been?

Yes. A thousand times, yes.

I thought my experiences with my Ashram would be of interest to those seeking these types of benefits and more, who are considering yoga and meditation with a spiritual undercurrent.

If this is you, I recommend looking for an Ashram near you, or any yoga studio or non-profit yoga center, which ask for donations instead of charging fees for classes. Check it out to make sure you feel comfortable, then dive in. The best of them are a home away from home.
