Yesterday Sharon and I went shopping at the Camp district for some final items (hopefully) we wanted to get while here. I think I’m finally done shopping. Traffic was insane. It always is. I figure that any time I venture out of my flat, I will experience insanity. Don’t get me wrong. This insanity is crazy good. Maybe it takes a crazy person to like this, but I really do.

Here, for example … I may have mentioned before the driving pecking order, but I may have failed to mention that cows have the ultimate right of way. By default.

If a bus breaks down, what better to tow it with than another bus??

… and I must say that is some very high tech towing equipment.

Last night’s Pranayama class was led by Rajlaxmi. We did some very basic Pranayama. Her instructions were very clear, and not rushed, allowing us to simply be in the breath.

This morning’s Women’s Class was led by Raya. It was similar to a “lead” asana class where the teacher calls out the names of the poses and the students do them according to their practice with minimum instructions. A lot of poses were covered in the two hour class (standing, inversions, backbends & forward bends). I was able to do everything using modifications where needed for my shoulder, and the sequence gave me great release in both my shoulder and sacrum.

My lunch today was spicy goodness! I think maybe the best of all the meals Anita has made me so far. I know they all look alike, but there really are tasty taste differences, and it’s so nice to come home from practice or class and have lunch prepared for me!

Here are more pictures I took at Parvati Hill on Sunday.

It’s so lush and green.

The yellow in the map above shows the areas in the 17th century of Peshwa Dynasty rule. Pune, where I am, is just southwest.

Open practice today at 4pm – I think I’ll do restorative!
