I think it's pretty clear that somehow, somewhere, we will practice. I know there was a morning last year where people actually went to the park to practice. So it will happen. Under what circumstances, exactly, isn't yet clear... I guess it's good, though, that we will carry on NO MATTER WHAT :-) I had a chat with SS about the community just the other morning.

This morning we had 4. Monday we had 6. Lakshmi, why would the rent be most expensive for mysore? Wouldn't the yoga studio rent the space for a flat monthly rate, offering whatever classes they want? Donuts, does VBG have any thoughts on maintaining a morning mysore community? Or do you or SS? Oh, yes, the agony of keeping a morning mysore practice going. This morning we had 4. Monday we had 6.

I like the big money-maker backbends like rajak, kapo, and going from headstand into backbend. it makes me feel like i'm not such an old fart.

Rajakapotasana, huh? I think of that as a pose for the big kids -- the ones who are good at backbends. Meaning, not for me. I've been dreaming lately of backbends that feel easy and light. It may be time for some creative visualization, to make this really happen. Well, I suppose it'll be a combination of creative visualization and lots of practice... I’m with you on the pumpkin pie.

If someone brought it in for them, then the bringer hates the celebrant. :) Backbending--oooohh, it's been so great for me lately. I have started doing rajakapotasana with t's help and man is it nice. I do feel like the back is opening more, as my dropbacks are now totally smooth with a really controlled landing. it's inspiring to me. enough about me. I wanted to say that practice at my studio has been pretty slim lately too. only 5 people this morning. ugh! t said that mysore is his most expensive class rent-wise. if he has to give it up, i will have to go back to the old place. at least I have patched things up and made it okay to do that. pumpkin pie is not a celebration, it’s punishment. that person must hate working at the company if they brought that pie in themselves.

That started last spring, once he started adding more & more 2nd. It's a nice place to switch actually. But he'd never have let me drop any of the second series poses!!
