Sunday with Nana Part 3 – the Spice Man and the parking police

We had a wonderful class yesterday with Sunita – abdominals! Sunita’s classes have been the highlight for me this trip of all classes at the Institute.

RIMYI has changed the classes from when I was here before. Instead of having two women’s classes a week, there is now only one women’s class on Saturdays and the Wednesday 9:30am class is now a “General Class.” I’m not sure the definition of a “General Class” but I’m pretty sure the two “General Classes” I’ve taken were more of an Intermediate 2 class geared for students about 20 years younger than me.

The Friday night Pranayama class that used to be led by Geetaji is now led by Prashant.

I’ll start with another video of the Spice Man and the parking police. While we were in his store the police were driving down the street with their loud speaker speaking in Mirathi. We had no idea what they were saying so I asked the Spice Man to explain what was going on and he was more than happy to oblige.

Here are some more photos of the people at the Fort.

By now you may have realized that the people of Pune have no problem posing for photos for and with foreigners they’ll never see again. Not only did they pose for my photos, but I was also expected to pose for them.

Here are more photos of the Fort.

I’m heading out this morning to observe the children’s class, followed by Sunday morning Sutras study with Prashant. Then another Sunday with Nana.

I still have more photos and videos to share of our outing last Sunday so, wifi permitting, I’ll get those out in a post soon.
