Little ones

Above, Akuch captures the biggest smile of all!

And … Yesterday while watching Maya, I asked her if I could sit on the rocking chair with her, so she turned herself sideways & took up the entire sitting area.

Looks like Amma has to sit on the floor 🙁

Tomorrow – pictures of lunch with Bill from Thursday and more. Today I have an overlap of nanny duties. A couple hours with both Alo and Maya ought to be fun for all of us!

Bruce said he was very close to her in that last picture. Very close.

Lunch with Bill at Nati’s – 11:30? Bruce is sick & I’ll have Maya.

Seahorse, beach & book

Such a big boy riding the seahorse at the park!

Below, Maya spends time with Pappa at the beach.

And Alo reads to his Amma:

Evan is out of the office today, having a biopsy on his lung, a procedure called Endobronchial Ultrasound (EBUS) – biopsy of mediastinal lymph notes. Under the same local, he’ll have another procedure that may enable him to gain his voice back, at least temporarily.

Manouso Manos

When I was in SF, I visited the Asian Art Museum where there was a huge display of ancient yoga artifacts. My most senior teacher, Manouso Manos (whose workshop I was attending in SF), was asked to give a speech on Sunday, March 9, the day after I left SF.

Manouso has practiced Iyengar Yoga for over 40 years, and is one of only two teachers granted the highest level of Iyengar Yoga Certification in the world from BKS Iyengar.

If you’re interested in hearing the talk by Manouso “Journey of Self with Yoga Master BKS Iyengar,” click on the YouTube link below. This video is about an hour.

Tomorrow – Videos of grandkids!

I wasn’t the only tired one …

In the picture below, Manouso rests after a long day of teacher intensive, and prior to teaching his evening class. He’s in a form of Savasana (Corpse Pose) on three thick pads where helpers put bolsters and heavy weights on his legs, and weights also on his shoulders and hands. This is a very grounding and calming pose. He stayed here for about 30 minutes prior to teaching the Thursday evening class, which, lucky for us, was restorative!
