Day 12 at the Iyengar institute - Pune, India

Tonight we have pranayama with Geeta Iyengar. Last week was amazing, as have all the classes been. Some days are broken up with classes and/or practice and then evening classes or observing classes. 

The classes are packed. 150 or more in the main hall and 60 or more upstairs. 

When the room fills the mats are folded. 

Makes one really appreciate the space we have at home. The "I"ness really dissolves when that many people are chanting and even practicing so close side by side. 

Prashant Iyengar asked us all "How do we prepare for the day?"

"Do we prepare with the breath?"

So as my family and friends start waking soon to start their Friday, I hope they begin the day enjoying each breath. 

On a side note- I had a latte and bottle of water for 75 rupees today. Won't get that back home. 

Namaste.
