After a one night stay in a slightly sketchy hotel in the jungle, we made it to our yoga retreat where we will be for the next 2 weeks! Today was our first day of yoga. Our schedule consisted of an hour and a half of Ashtanga Yoga (soo freakin hard) in the morning, an hour and a half of Hatha Yoga in the afternoon and 45 minutes of meditation seminar. My whole body is in pain, but it's a good pain. The other travellers here are very friendly and from all over the world. We went out for dinner with about 5 of them lastnight at Haad Salad Beach, very cheap and yummy.
In between yoga classes we walked to a near by beach called Koh Ma, which is shown in the picture above. Absolutely beautiful! There is an island with a sand bar connecting it to the shore and beautiful turquoise sand. Had to run for cover from a few flashes of intense rain! The walk back was also intense, about 25 minutes uphill! Totally worth it though :)
