“Remember, your own wholeness is the ground on which you stand, the ground from which you contribute to the restoration of wholeness in your society. So, do whatever is needed to remain whole, present, healthy, vital and engaged. Prioritize your own needs for safety, stability, connection, rest, play, and communication with your soul. Step back before you become depleted; renew your inner resources daily. Build joy, pleasure, delight into your day-to-day. Cultivate a reservoir of goodness to counteract the effects of societal fragmentation.
A daily practice of energy hygiene is essential, to remain sovereign, effective, creative, and free while continuing to work for the sovereignty and freedom of all beings.” -Hira Boga Photo by @kaviarasanmunnar #internationalyogaday #incredibleindia

I called Chuck Schumer’s office (202-224-6542) and told them that the separation of families is not in the spirit of what the United States is about. You too can call your state representative. It’s really easy to find their phone number on a quick online search. If we all urge them to denounce Trump’s family separation policy and use all of Congress' authority to stop it, we can finally put an end to this sickening cruelty. #UnitedStates we need to step up! Share this message with everyone you know. Thanks for letting me use your photo @nishamoodley 💕 #sisterhood

Here’s an “obligatory selfie” that people were lining up to take. Did you know that India is the country with the most deaths caused by selfies in the world?! Got these stats from my guide! I wouldn’t go that far for a photo and thankfully I managed to survive this selfie taken in the Sheesh Mahal (Hall of Mirrors) a complex with a courtyard within Amber Fort. 😉 This opulent hall is made of Belgian glass imported by the royals in the 1700s. 💕 #incredibleindia #amberfort #jaipur #selfie

Damn. This one really hurts. I am completely in shock after hearing the news of the passing of the biggest inspiration in my travel life. RIP #anthonybourdain ✌️you’ll be in our minds forever. Thank you for giving people the courage to explore (themselves and the world) through your well told stories, your empathy for different cultures and all the adventures #partsunknown #noreservations

We gotta support the local artists! I bought this itty-bitty hand painted Marwar miniature painting (a craft handed down since the 18th century) of a dancing Ganesha directly from the artist. His craftsmanship is exquisite! The painting is so small you need a magnifying glass to see the beautiful intricate detail and the depth of everything... breathtaking! #jodphur #incredibleindia #thisissustainable

A view of the Blue City 🌃 #jodphur #incredibleindia

Vroom, vroom I’m coming down these busy narrow people-filled streets in an electric #rickshaw ⚡️ 😳🤞🏽 LOVE that @raasjodhpur has these and trusts me with them! Thank you much & #godhelpme #incredibleindia 🇮🇳#thisissustainable #ecofriendly #jodphur

Mom and I visited the remains of the Sahasra Bahu temples dedicated to Vishnu, built in the early 10th century AD. Although in partial ruins, we could still admire the perfect geometrythat makes this site an architectural and archaeological gem. Only 20km from #Udaipur this temple is a must-visit heritage monument #incredibleindia 🇮🇳

I’ve gone and fallen in love with this place... the hills, the lakes, the beautiful sunset. It’s easily the most romantic city in India 🇮🇳 #udaipur #theveniceofindia #incredibleindia

Inside the former pleasure palace of Maharaja Jarat Singh II built in the middle of Lake Pichola in the 1740s, it’s easy feel like a princess here 👑 Thank you @tajhotels & @tajlakepalace for your hospitality 🙏😘 #incredibleindia #udaipur #jagniwas

Saw these guys on the way to the temple and had to say hello. #cantresist #goatloversanonymous #incredibleindia

Ballin’ view of Marine Drive 😎 #incredibleindia Thanks for the stay @theoberoimumbai 💕I loved every minute!

The best things in life certainly fall of out thin air. A couple months ago, this beautiful man came into my life seemingly out of nowhere. Unexpectedly, he swept me off my feet... charming me from Greenpoint to the West Village to Williamsburg to Thonglor to Koh Kood to Yaowarat to Mumbai... This whole time it’s been nothing but new adventures in delicious food, nights filled with laughter, deep conversations and soul moving music. Emotional connection, love and support deeper than any I’ve ever felt. A shared love for food, music, and immersive travel experiences. I’m so excited to finally find my partner-in-crime, my favorite eating buddy, travel partner and love of my life. Baby, it’s an honor to love you and be with you. The sounds and colors of life are certainly so much brighter when you are around. I love you so much @ostinatorecords 😘

So blessed to wake up and have a cup of masala chai with this view of the Arabia Sea. Thank you @tajhotels & @tajmahalmumbai for the restful night and @travelwithus_india for putting this all together 🙏💕#grateful #incredibleindia

I explored Elephanta Caves, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a collection of cave temples built between the 5th and 8th century AD predominantly dedicated to the Hindu god Shiva. Much of the artwork is defaced and damaged, historians cite Christian Portuguese soldiers and their texts which state they used the caves and statues as a firing range and for target practice. In late 1970s, the Government of India restored the main cave and in 1987 the caves were designated a #UNESCOWorldHeritageSite #incredibleindia #elephantacaves #mumbai

Dear Mumbai, I love the pulsating rhythms of your streets, your trains, your temples, your markets, your mangoes, your #dabawalas ✨#incredibleindia #mumbai
