In November 2016 I returned to Nepal , a country dear to my heart. 

During this trip I spent a week trekking up in Langtang valley. A valley of stunning beauty, amazing hospitality and recently terrible loss.
This community was one of the hardest hit by the earthquake in April 2015. The village of Langtang itself was completely destroyed, buried under a landslide of rocks and ice. The death toll was huge, 176 residents of the village, 10 army personell and 80 foreigners. Langtang Valley relies heavily on tourism, and because of its remoteness the rebuilding process has been slow. The valley has no road for supplies of building materials to be delivered. A mountain track is the only route up the valley for porters and mules to carry their loads. The same route I trekked up with Kanchi my guide up to Kyanjin Gompa.  

This April 25th sees the second anniversary of the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that hit Nepal. For this reason I wanted to mark this event by undertaking my own yoga discipline ( tapas) for the month of April. I will be practicing sun salutations each day of April ,  building up to and hopefully completing 108 sun salutations in a day on 30th April.

I hope some of my yoga friends will join me in this event. Every one choosing their own discipline. The only rule is that it has to be stuck to for every day in April.  ॐ

I chose sun salutations because I am essentially lazy. This monthly practice will be a challenge , but one that is not impossible or too hard in my opinion. It will require care and effort on my part. Practicing mindfully, moving my body with awareness ,ensuring I don't injure myself or over stretch myself because of my ego.I hope to get fitter and stronger mentally and physically through this practice and most importantly raise much needed funds for Community Action Nepal's work Langtang community.
