NYTimes Travel Article about a tourist's trip to India for Yoga

hi guys,

I saw this article in the Times today and thought it might be of interest to the group. It's about a Franch tourist's day at an ashram in Pondicherry, Tamil Nadu. This is a wonderful part of India (wish I could say I've been there myself) with tons of different cultural influences, even dating back ~2500 years or so with trade with the Romans.

The author struggles with a headstand, the villagers are still coping with the aftermath of the Tsunami, but yet they all seem to share so much joy amidst the chaos, even if the cows seem to be the only ones "meditating."
