Returning Home…
It feels like I’m crawling on all fours to my home, the place that offers unconditional and no-nonsense acceptance. It has been a very trying period mentally, emotionally and spiritually and the analogy of a rudderless boat would be pretty apt here.
I’m sitting in the big hall, waiting for a new year to begin. I missed the start last Friday as I was too broken to make it. Today, I’ve willed myself to be here knowing fully well that a gap of nearly 3 weeks without practice will mean a lot of relearning. What is that the Sutras say… Atha Yoganushasanam

I like your phrase “no-nonsense acceptance.” That’s how I feel when I attend a yoga class. The picture with this post is inspiring, and somehow goes with that concept.

That’s what I love about yoga, no molly coddling. Just straightforward action. The picture is of the first floor of the Iyengar Institute in Pune.

On a somewhat unrelated note, I was buying pizza last night and ran into Purnima Manghnani who said she worked with you in the medical class in Pune. Purnima and I did our Intro I (back when that was a thing) teacher training together. She said to say “hi.”

Small world! By the time I thought to ask if she knew you, she had already left from Pune. Please give her my love too.
