What Yogis should know about Bali
An annual event in Bali that may well appeal to yogis, and anyone who appreciates some respite from the modern dependency on technology, is Nyepi Day. Falling at the time when locals celebrate New Year, islanders are expected to observe the rules of the “Day of Silence.”
This unique celebration involves disconnecting from all power sources and electronic devices and abandoning the usual routines of work and travel. This is a great opportunity to appreciate your natural surroundings and company without any of the distractions that accompany our normal existence.
