Now that 17 project participants have arrived in Nairobi (with yoga teachers, practitioners, and fundraisers among them), the 2011 Africa Yoga Project Seva Safari has officially begun.

The first day included a breakfast of tea and mango; a vigorous practice; vegetarian lunch; and get-to-know-you games with AYP instructors. Kenyan teacher Moses led a 90-minute class at the top of Sarakasi Dome in Nairobi’s historic Indian neighborhood with the theme of freedom—meaning lots of backbending, reaching and lifting one of our 50 fellow students’ legs for increased extension. I’m quite convinced that breaking bread (or chipati) with yogis from all over is the best welcome and one that inspires my gratitude for the friends who made this experience possible.
