It’s more flexible and therefore allows me to always have a great sense of freedom. <\/p>\n \n The schedule is strict, but you can easily adapt it to your own rhythm. As soon as the bell rings at 5:30 a.m., at dawn, it\u2019s time to get up and quickly prepare for the 6 a.m. meditation, which takes place in the garden\u2019s covered pavilion. After that, you’ll enjoy 30 minutes of silent meditation, followed by morning chants, and then take part in the inspiring talks that mark the start of the day. <\/span><\/p>\n Now fully awake, you\u2019ll have just enough time to slip into your yoga clothes for the 8 a.m. class. However, this is not the place to show off your new sexy yoga top or tight mini shorts\u2014here, modest attire is preferred. An old t-shirt and some light pants will do just fine. Think comfort first, and cover your knees and shoulders out of respect for others. You\u2019re in for two hours of gentle yoga<\/span>. You can choose between the beginner or advanced class, but keep in mind that in Sivananda yoga, it\u2019s always the same sequence of asanas. The first hour is dedicated to breathwork (pranayama). For yoga, you\u2019ll need to bring your own mat\u2014otherwise, they sell them in the boutique for $25 USD. <\/p>\n \n If you’re a meat lover, you might feel that the meals at the Sivananda Yoga Ashram in the Bahamas are missing something\u2014but otherwise, you\u2019re in for a treat. Served buffet-style by the karma yogis, each meal is a true explosion of flavors and colors. And don\u2019t be surprised if you\u2019re served kale salad for breakfast\u2014you\u2019ll end up enjoying it! <\/p>\n \n The afternoon is yours. You\u2019re free to read a book in one of the hammocks, soak up the sun on the beach, or attend a talk on any number of fascinating topics. And here\u2019s an open secret: it might just be the perfect time to sneak off to the Starbucks located in the Atlantis resort, just a five-minute walk away. A little guilty pleasure\u2014an iced coffee with extra caramel and extra whipped cream\u2014can really make a difference in this somewhat rigid adventure. I say \u2018guilty\u2019 because certain things are forbidden at the ashram, like coffee. But also because after indulging in a little luxury, you might just appreciate even more the calm cocoon that Sivananda Yoga Bahamas<\/a> offers, far from the chaos. <\/p>\n \nA busy Journey<\/h3>\n
The food: a pure delight<\/h3>\n
Time for oneself<\/h3>\n
Make the most of it!<\/h4>\n
