Shraddha Ashram

Holly has been wanting to take the month long yoga teacher training class in India for a while so the three girls decide to go to Shraddha Ashram, one of the subcontinent's innumerable spiritual centers. Amanda and Jennifer are only staying for a week, while Holly on the other hand, is staying for the whole one month program. The day includes waking up at 5:30 every morning, at 6 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. there is Satsung, which is a time for silent meditation and chanting. At 7:30 there is tea time and 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. they have an Asana (yoga) class. at 10 a.m. they have brunch and at 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. they have Karma yoga/selfless service. At 1:30 p.m. they have another tea time and from 2p.m. to 3:30 p.m. there is a lecture. from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. they have another asana class and from 6-7 p.m. they have dinner and from 8-9:30 p.m. the have another Satsung. Finally, at 10:20 p.m. it is time to go to sleep. This process is repeated every day. After a week, Amanda and Jennifer leave Shraddha Ashram to take another adventure while they wait for Holly to finish her month long training.
