CURRENT

Looking for healthy acreage to build sustainable living, leaning toward earthship construction. Building interconnected community over miles of terrain to share resources.

ABOUT

I am an avid Yoga practitioner and practice Gayatri Japa to the Sunrise/Midday/Sunset and love to recite Vedic Mantras and meditate on Sanskrit texts. Everyday this last summer I stood waist deep in the James River doing my Noon meditation. Really invigorating. Our ancient ancestors were tuned in.
I love outdoor life and live in a rustic cabin in the mountains. I am currently adding Sanskrit text to the Living Gita a translation of the Bhagavadgita by Swami Satchidananda.
I also offer programs in chanting and Yoga practice around the country when I get a chance to move about.
Lived in NYC for long time. Too long. But when I am in a city like that I love cultural things like museums especially art. Now I get the chance to go to DC once in a while and stay overnight. Hmmm, maybe I'll look for a couch there......
Give me half a chance and I'll be out in the woods picking wild food and no one will hear of me for months or maybe more.

PHILOSOPHY

I try to walk lightly on the Earth.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Traveling.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I traveled Europe when I was a dancer and would take company class in a new destination and after dancers from companies would offer me a place to stay. I did this throughout Europe.
Also being strongly involved in Yoga I also stayed with many Yogis throughout Europe, USA & India

Interests

All kinds of outdoor activities like Kayaking, hiking or just being in nature. I also want to get back on my Unicycles. I have one here in the mountains and one in Chennai. Just learned how to hoola hoop. Art. Real life. Dance & Dancing. Foraging. Snow Sledding.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like movies, music & books. I much prefer movies that are historical or true like documentaries. I adore YouTube moving over to Vimeo due to Google's recent practices.

Rather just enjoy nature tho. Nothing in this world beats Yoga, everything else seems like second hand experience.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Sunrise Meditation.

Teach, Learn, Share

Oh, I can encourage sincere people with Yoga & Chanting skills. But if I bring my Unicycle I'll be really happy to teach that skill. At your own risk of course, I take no responsibility for what could happen falling off. My Uni's are kinda on the big side for learning.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Calm. Low metanance guest. Optimistic & realistic view of living. Veg/vegan meal preparation including years of raw.
