Some thoughts by Padmassana, likening travel to yoga –
or the other way round!

He says: “When you travel you are thinking about
what you are seeing, where you are going to stay, how you are going to
get there, the people you are with. You are absorbed in where you are
at that moment in time, not thinking about the past or far into the future.
In yoga you are thinking about the practice, the breath, the foot positions
and the bandhas. As with travelling, you have so much to think about,
you are absorbed in that moment.

In both yoga and travel, you are enjoying being where you
are at that time and the clarity of mind and general happiness; you leave
behind all the daily worries. I think that yoga has become a substitute
for travel for me, for the 48 weeks a year when I am at home”.
