Now that 17 project participants have arrived in Nairobi (with yoga teachers, practitioners, fundraisers, and lovers of life among them), the 2011 Africa Yoga Project Seva Safari has officially begun. Twelve days of service, sweating to AYP teachers’ yoga classes, and Kenyan exploration have begun with Dreamfish House Nairobi as home base.
We’re the first group to stay at the bed and breakfast in Karen, which AYP founder Paige and volunteer extraordinaire Krissy chose for its “intentionality." The concept behind Dreamfish is creating space for relationship building between individuals and the wider world. Margaret, a Baptiste-trained AYP instructor, welcomed us with a class the night of July 1 before we shared a dinner of traditional Kenyan food. We filled out plates with vegetarian organic skuma, ugali and potato stew while learning a bit about the work we’ll be doing over the next two weeks.
We’re excited for the first full-day today, which includes a 90-minute hot yoga class at Sarakasi Dome (to work off jet lag, of course).
