Local Travel Tip

Mysore, India. The City of Palaces. This location is the dream vacation for every yoga lover around the world. Traveling to this location is a pilgrimage every yoga lover should take.

The history of yoga in this location began and was developed through Krishna Pattabhi Jois. He promoted Ashtanga yoba which is a strenuous aerobic exercise that is enhanced by timed breathing with the exercise. Sadly, Krishna Jois died at the age of 94 in 2009.

However, his grandson has taken up the legacy as the director of the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute. The classes offered here usually take a one-month commitment. This would be the perfect opportunity to learn about the culture of India and see many of the beautiful historical and architectural wonders located in this land.

There are many reasons to stay at home and not travel. These reasons range from the expense, to risk of disease, to the hassle involved. However, there are so many things that a traveler learns that someone who stays at home is likely not to ever learn.

For example, someone who gets out in the world and travels is likely to learn that people around the world are very similar. While there are cultural, traditional, and belief differences, fundamental most people are the same. We love our families, and feel connected and devoted to our loved ones. We also have the same needs for food, sleep, and safety.

The flight into the Bay islands by Honduras is one of the most spectacular landings in the world. The Bay islands consist of Roatan, Utila, and Guanaja. These beautiful islands are surrounded by brilliant blue waters that are the home of the second largest barrier reef in the world.

The piers are an excellent place to take the one you love to watch the fantastic sunsets sink into the west. Later, enjoy some of the cultural music played in bars and other gathering places.
