sat nov 7, 09



Went to Geeta's am class which was linked to last night's class. big point was lifting head to to look at ceiling is important kria in many poses. I sailed through the class today without fear of Geeta screaming at me and it being recorded for posterity b/c all poses and actions and have been taught to us by Eddy and Mary literally word for word. Geeta complained that many teachers were awful for sending their students to Pune knowing nothing. The two Russians in the class are cluless, poor things. They don't understand English.




After class went to the Meridien Hotel , a 5 star, and I was treated to lunch by Francoise. He insisted on paying for the lunch b/c he attributes me with "saving his life". Francoise was sick for a week with a respiratory problem and I finally talked him into using my neti pot which cured him instantly. Since then we have been sharing it and sterilizing it with boiling water and alcohol. After lunch Mary, Marie and I went to the beauty parlor and Mary and I had the delux pedicure while Marie got her hair cut. This is the same beauty parlor where Patricia Walden goes when in Pune so you know it's good. ha ha. We tjen had our picture taken in front of the giant peacock at the intrance and we felt like 3 femme fatales.





Went to a wonderful practice from 4-5:45. Eddie has given me an assignment and I'm following it seriously. The sequence is to calm my mind so I can be receptive to the teachings here at RIMYI. So I'm spending my practices supported or hanging from the ropes suspended from the ceiling in long delicious poses while the cool breeze blows and the fans purr in the sweet silence. And I come out of the practice room feeling like a different person. Why can't this happen at home? Is this place magic or what?


Tonight I went to the pot luck at Doris and Anne Marie's.


Tomorrow we are going to Lakshmi Rd which is supposed to be interesting. But, most of the day will be spent resting.


I'm happy. All my clothes are clean and ironed and my bed linens have been changed. Yea!





Good night. L
