Friday. 4:30am. Got back to the shala a little after 8pm and immediately fell asleep. Woke up about 1am and now I can’t go back to sleep. Sucks. I’ve already tried smoking a cigarette, taking a shower, and going for a walk around the shala. Hoping writing will work so...Read More

Saturday. Loving life at the yoga shala, but definitely over the vegan diet. I always think I can do it and then I try the food and I’m like… yeah, I can’t do this. Life is too short for me to not enjoy my food. I definitely agree we need...Read More

Friday morning. Busy day yesterday. It’s been awhile since I’ve been go-go-go like that all day. It was fun! We had a day off from yoga school to go out and explore a bit. Everything was pre-arranged, which was nice. We got up at 6am, left at 7:30, and set...Read More

EXT: A rainforest somewhere in Southeast Asia. A naive British explorer has been separated from his tour group on a hike and found himself lost and alone in the treacherous jungle. As darkness begins to fall, he searches for safe refuge from the many dangers around him. As he passes...Read More

BLOG: I am the Dragon

Posted on August 27, 2025 by Betsey Horton

Update from the cave: I have evolved back into my natural dragon self. This is my natural state of being. I was born a dragon (under the Chinese Zodiac), I will die a dragon. I am the dragon. I forgot I was a dragon. I forgot my nature, I forgot...Read More

Tuesday evening. Chillin’ in my room at the end of a very good day. I am having a very good experience here at the yoga shala in Bali. I love the group of people in my cohort. I cannot state enough what a breath of fresh air it is to...Read More

Saturday morning. Sitting in the park. Watching the neighborhood come alive. People always stare at me when I walk by. I can’t tell if it’s looking just to look, or if they’re trying to figure out who is running the Airbnb in the condo so they can report him to...Read More

Tuesday morning. Back at my favourite coffee stand, which I somehow managed to survive two full days without. I want to stay in this neighborhood specifically for this coffee stand. I am obsessed. Not sure what the daily drama unfolding in front of me today is about. There’s three Thai...Read More

Wednesday morning. Cloudy again. It’s been cloudy every day I’ve been here in Thailand. Not the best time of year to come unless you enjoy rain. I don’t particularly mind staring out the window with my notebook and coffee in front of me, so it works for me. How is...Read More
