Today the Yoga session was shortened by half an hour for Yoga nidra. Dr. Srinivas led the group through this journey. It was pretty relaxing and at the same time, planted seeds for service in the subconscious mind. I also met a lady from France in the Yoga hall today. Despite not understanding the Telugu language, she did fine in the Yoga session. It seems she just joined the program yesterday.
I was able to do Sutra Neti through my left nostril pretty easily on my own today, but the right nostril is another story. I still had to take an attender’s help. I met another young man today who joined here for three months to lose weight.
Being Sunday, it is a holiday for the treatment center staff. So, no treatments today. Instead there were wonderful lectures in the morning. The first one by Dr. Raju on how our thoughts impact our bodies through hormones. It was very insightful. Especially, the kind of damage anger causes to our body. The second one by Dr. Srinivas was on bone health and demonstration of yoga asanas to give relief for neck pain and back pains.
In the evening, cooking class was at 3 pm today where making of a few Indian food items were demonstrated and samples were provided to the attendees. I couldn’t taste any of it as I was fasting.

We then went to the Yoga hall where the Yoga instructor led the health seekers with this clapping exercise. We also went on a walk along the river. Some were boating, some were swimming. Weather has been pretty awesome here. The lights among the plants also created a magical ambience.
The evening daily lecture by Dr. Raju is on good food items - sesame seeds, sprouts, coconut, etc. Myths about milk, egg, and non-veg were also discussed.
