The people … colorful and friendly and have no problem posing for pictures either.

Making name tag bracelets.

I mentioned in an earlier post that I brought with me 25 white ladies t-shirts to be batiked (remember the motorcycle ride?). Today Sudhir brought me my sample. Here it is – a size medium so I can wear it in class or wherever. This is only one of the elephant designs. The other elephant design has two larger “playful” elephants. Some of the t-shirts will also have the Om symbol, the heart chakra or designed with two Adho Mukha Svanasanas (down dog) with a Navasana (boat pose) in the middle. The t-shirt colors will be pink, red, green, blue and orange and I’ll have them in S M L & XL.

I took a solo walk to MoMo’s and got “take away” vegetable dumplings with really good dipping sauce all to myself. Yum yum.

Sunita taught the ladies’ class this morning. What a tough class! She is so demanding yet she takes the time to explain in detail exactly what she expects us to do. With Sunita you don’t dare make a move unless and until you’re told. We did mostly standing poses and during most of the class our arms were either extended straight out to the side or lifted straight up [Urdhva Hastasana]. My shoulder was put to the test and it passed! Needless to say, I did a restorative practice this afternoon consisting of mostly passive forward bends.
