Due to Independence Day, there was no yoga at RIMYI Thursday. In the morning, I went for a nice, short, brisk walk and came across a McDonald’s (no, I didn’t eat there).… and this house that someone actually lives in.
After lunch, Nana drove Sharon and me across the river for an Ayurvedic massage. It was good. They used a lot of Ayurvedic oils. The oil got slopped on, and then rubbed quickly to create heat. Then there was a hot treatment at the end that penetrated into my joints, focusing on my low back and shoulder (I liked this part the best). The massage lasted a little over an hour, at which time I was led to the bathroom to take a shower. After the massage, we walked across the street to Fab India, which reminded me of a Cost Plus World Market or Pier One Imports, and then hailed a rickshaw back to our flat.

Here are more pictures from Parvati Hill on Sunday.Local boys.

Today is 9 to noon open practice, 6pm Pranayama with Geetaji, and Sharon and I are planning a shopping trip at Camp in between.
