@Tala: Lurk away and congrats on your new relocation to Korea! I think there are a few yoga studios out there, but this one I know for sure conducts some classes in English. 🙂 One of the teachers here conducts some free classes at Buy the Book Cafe (in Banwoldang) on Sundays!

@Kelsey: It was, I was fortunate to have found out about it.
@Jill: Ha ha… yes, the mirror is to look at the sky, so you’re kind of dependent on the person in front of you as you’re walking. It’s a very interesting experience and sensory.
@Joshywashington: very beautiful! 🙂

@3gyupsal: ha ha… That’s priceless. I almost had a similar experience at Apsan in Daegu. We were coming down late and we were hairs close to the cellphone lights. I actually did use mine cause it was dark but the rocky trail wasn’t nearly as bad as Jiri’s trail. Y’all must’ve been freaked out. I would’ve been.

True, there’s not a whole lot on spiritual adventures or non-Korean traditions/practices in Korea outside of the temples. I was really fortunate that this yoga camp had a truly unique perspective; they brought a lot of wonderful “alternative” flavor to their camp workshops. It was refreshing!

Believe me though, those temple pictures will eventually be coming….;-)

@Chance: Thanks. Hopefully it captures..curiousity. That workshop was really unique and amazing. Totally fresh perspective on a meditation or hike!

I had a similar experience to this-that is walking in the woods without being able to see. I was coming down off of Jiri mountain with a few friends after the sun went down. We couldn’t see and the path was narrow with minor boulders jutting up out of the ground. To the left there were rocks and forest. To the right was a twenty or thirty foot fall to death or at least a broken something….and a mountain stream. We used our cell phones and cameras to find our way, and when we reached the road leading to my friend’s car, I gained a new appreciation for pavement.
