My school trip to Rishikesh, India was nothing short of life changing. Nestled in the foothills of the Himalayas, Rishikesh is a place where the spiritual and the natural worlds seem to merge. I attended an intense Kundalini Yoga training that pushed me physically, mentally, and spiritually uncovering layers of myself I didn’t know existed. The teachings were powerful, the practices transformative, and every day felt like a deep dive into ancient wisdom. The energy of the Ganges, the hum of mantras, and the sacred stillness of the ashram left a permanent imprint on my heart. India itself was breathtaking-the colors, the food, the people, the culture. Everywhere I turned, I was met with warmth, depth, and beauty. The food nourished more than just my body, and the community I met along the way felt like soul family. I missed Cat deeply while I was away, but the space allowed me to grow in ways I didn’t expect. I returned with a new sense of clarity, strength, and devotion-not just to my path, but to the people I love and the life I’m building. Rishikesh gave me something timeless, and I’ll carry that gift forward forever.
