A few photos and words

Today will be more of a photojourney. Many of these are on facebook, however there I can’t tell the story of what they mean. We’ve completed the first week of training. I’m not sure I feel that much wiser. I’m very much enjoying the time with other yogis from all over, learning from their experiences in teaching, running studios, trying to act on the eight limbs of yoga, when those around them aren’t. And I’m enjoying being in India…..I’ve mentioned this in the past, but more of the learning comes from the ordinary people, who make so much out of so little and have the most beautiful smiles that i’ve seen. I’ve been going to the Indian places for breakfast, where indian people eat. there are also breakfast places which cater to yoga students. the food is amazing, and i usually have fantastic dosas (pancakes made with rice & lentil flour) with coconut chutney and fabulous chai for 50 cents. i’ll have to photograph these tomorrow.

i want to share a couple photos around the shala with you….one is of Saraswati, Guruji’s daughter in the doorway of the shala, another of students having post-practice coconuts, and the entry to the shala. And there is also a cool photo of a cow trying to run over my friend Mary….it also tried to knock me over, or at least it was determined to walk down the street….past us all. That’s enough for tonight….more tomorrow.
