Eat Pray Love

If the last post hadn't worried you enough, we're both now wearing beads, have spent time doing yoga and have meditated. Ommmmmmmm. To add to the weirdness, we also learnt how to make some Tibetan street food - vegetarian MoMos. All thanks to the wedding list, namely Jimi for the yoga and meditation and Gaz for the cooking. Cheers guys!

The cooking class was great - especially as we got to eat our creations at the end! Guests in the future can now expect home-made Tibetan dumplings for starters. We can also put meat in them for mains. And know how to make chocolate and sesames ones for pudding. Mmmmmomo.

Quite a meal!

The meditation class was an eye-opener (despite being told to keep our eyes shut). Peace and tranquility were in abundance... but we both struggled with the focus required. Something to work on. Maybe. Focusing on quiet is difficult when you constantly hear Matt having to rearrange his lanky legs when sitting on the floor.

After a lentil curry lunch (ambitious), we headed down to yoga. This opened all of our other muscles - with us both getting into (or being forced into) a huge (and very challenging) number of poses. I don't think the teacher (yogi) knew the meaning of the word beginner, but we both came out of the class feeling completely alive and with a great sense of achievement. Matt couldn't believe how hard work it is, sweating buckets! No photos - sorry!

Matt managed to fit in a quick haircut - very good job - for only 50p!
