Yoga Session
Where else to have a yoga session than India? Our session was led by a Christ University Psychology instructor Priti Sirkeck. She talked first about the history and meaning of yoga. The term is derived from Sand-script and means "union" and particularly the union of your inner self with the universal self.
We were then led through a number of practice poses, each coming in pairs so that the second would offset the first (if the first stretched the left side, the second would be the right). We ended with a number of breathing exercises that enhances meditation.

I cannot believe that this is our last night here in India! It has been a jam packed two weeks. Although, most of us are anxious to go home and be with our families for the holidays, we are going to miss everyone in the group: the Australian students, our travel leaders, professors, bus drivers, and the site leaders. We have spent quality time with each other over the past two weeks...it's like we are a family!
We going to miss the Australians so much! I know that we have all made great connections with the Australian students-they are so awesome! Leaving tomorrow is definitely bittersweet.

The trip is coming to an end and today included excellent activities to help wrap it all up. Starting with yoga at 10am (giving us all a chance to sleep in), to the fabulous lunch and entertainment and a beautiful hotel, to having the night off (spent either shopping on Commercial Street or out to eat with friends); it's safe to say we are all a little nostalgic for our trip home tomorrow. I've made unforgettable friendships and unforgettable memories in a city that I know will have forever changed me.
Christmas at Christ University
The university is alive with student activity associated with Christmas. Groups of students perform dance numbers or sing, another venue has teams competing in events with Christmas themes. In addition, campus is alive with lights.
