I think I&#8217;m finally done shopping.  Traffic was insane.  It always is.  I figure that any time I venture out of my flat, I will experience insanity.  Don&#8217;t get me wrong.  This insanity is crazy good.  Maybe it takes a crazy person to like this, but I really do.<\/p>\n<p>Here, for example &#8230;  I may have mentioned before the driving pecking order, but I may have failed to mention that cows have the ultimate right of way.

We did some very basic Pranayama.  Her instructions were very clear, and not rushed, allowing us to simply be in the breath.<\/p>\n<p>This morning&#8217;s Women&#8217;s Class was led by Raya.  It was similar to a &#8220;lead&#8221; asana class where the teacher calls out the names of the poses and the students do them according to their practice with minimum instructions. A <strong><em>lot<\/em><\/strong> of poses were covered in the two hour class (standing, inversions, backbends &#038; forward bends).  I was able to do everything using modifications where needed for my shoulder, and the sequence gave me great release in both my shoulder and sacrum. <\/p>\n<p>My lunch today was spicy goodness!  I think maybe the best of all the meals Anita has made me so far.  I know they all look alike, but there really are tasty taste differences, and it&#8217;s so nice to come home from practice or class and have lunch prepared for me!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/obyoga.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130817-134743.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/obyoga.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130817-134743.jpg\" alt=\"20130817-134743.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here are more pictures I took at Parvati Hill on Sunday.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/obyoga.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130817-140848.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/obyoga.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130817-140848.jpg\" alt=\"20130817-140848.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/obyoga.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130817-140913.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/obyoga.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130817-140913.jpg\" alt=\"20130817-140913.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/obyoga.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130817-141000.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/obyoga.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130817-141000.jpg\" alt=\"20130817-141000.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a>It&#8217;s so lush and green.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/obyoga.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130817-141035.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/obyoga.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130817-141035.jpg\" alt=\"20130817-141035.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/obyoga.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130817-141109.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/obyoga.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130817-141109.jpg\" alt=\"20130817-141109.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/obyoga.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130817-141134.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/obyoga.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130817-141134.jpg\" alt=\"20130817-141134.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/obyoga.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130817-141201.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/obyoga.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/08\/20130817-141201.jpg\" alt=\"20130817-141201.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a>The yellow in the map above shows the areas in the 17th century of Peshwa Dynasty rule.
