Alandi and another temple

Yesterday I talked about a beginner Pranayama class taught by Nawaz that I observed Thursday night. I had not heard of Nawaz before, but while observing the class, I was impressed with her knowledge, clarity & ability to teach with maturity. Although I benefitted from observing the class, I really wished I’d taken the class. Wishes do come true, however. Nawaz taught the advanced Pranayama class last night, and I got to experience her teaching first hand. Class was wonderful.

The Women’s class this morning was again taught by Guruji through Abhi and Raya, and it was another great (& strenuous) class! I continue to work at the tressler for support for my shoulder, and with some modifications I’m able to do all the poses.

Back to Alandi and the second temple we went to.

Tomorrow my blog will tour our walk back to the rickshaw and more. Right now, I’m heading out the door for 4pm practice at the Institute.

I’ll leave you with a picture of a sweet sleeping baby I saw today after lunch at Lalit Mahal.
