We were good yogins... 

 
1st pizza... Spinach, bluecheese & walnut... savory.

2nd pizza.. summer special.. refreshing...

3rd pizza... artichoke and capers... just right.

I'll be flying with you again... soon.

It feels good to be back teaching yoga.  6 students came this evening and for me, it's a good number. 8 should be maximum per teacher, especially in a Mysore class.  Otherwise, the teacher cannot really give all the students proper attention and guidance.  

The animals were fed today.

Om.

The Jester and the Friendly Eels


Photo from the Jester House website.

Had brunch here this morning.  Open sandwich with fresh tomatoes, greens, special dressing, feta and hummus.  Simple but delicious.  Flat white for coffee.

2nd day with John & Lucy and I already feel like I've been here for a week.  Every day it's different.  I had to unlearn some of the things that I learned from the past... empty the cup... trying to absorb as much knowledge as I can.

Yesterday, it was led up to parsvottanasana, then John broke us up into groups.  I had to work with 2 other guys while the 3 YM ladies worked together.  Our group practiced up to supta kurmasana and then straight to 2nd.  This morning, after standing, we went straight to navasana, finished the rest of the 1st series and straight 2nd.  It's a different learning experience with Lucy very particular about body position and alignment.  I like her.  It's like being with Saraswati in Mysore.

Time to prepare dinner.  It's pasta arabiatta tonight.

Kia Ora!
