Isn’t it cool?? That’s Kathleen’s size 6 1/2 foot. Kathleen’s hand too. I knew I would have a good day when this was the first thing I saw when I went outside this morning.

This looks cozy …

Horn please. 

I would include the photos I took today of water buffalo and cows but I thought I’d give my readers a break. Plus I didn’t want anything to take away the excitement of seeing the monster snail photos.

Next Thursday (8/20) we will be attending this Shraddhanjali paying homage to Guruji on the first anniversary of his death (punyatithi). My friend and student, Chris, will be arriving in Pune that day. I got permission for him to attend, so he and his friend Cristy who will be traveling with him will be joining me. He’ll be here two days, so we’ll do some sightseeing together.

Prashantji:

I loved Prashant’s class this morning! What better to do during forward bend week than nothing but backbends? All sorts of backbends, supported, non-supported, at the ropes, in the chair. Included in that – whichever backbend “suits your purpose.”

You are to “… find the Kurma Kriya in every pose.”

“Shoulder blade in. Shoulder blade in. Shoulder blade in. Have you ever been to a yoga class where the teacher doesn’t tell you to take the shoulder blade in? [Pauses. Looks around.] “Is there ever an instance when the shoulder blade is out of the body?”

Back home:

Thursdays are my day to take Maya to gymnastics. Bruce is taking her in my absence, and he sent me these photos. She’s a sweetie!
