Led, with whimsy

Went to led primary this morning. Nice. Crowded. Sanskrit Scholar was in the building, doing a teacher training. Managed to get a hug and “congratulations” in — she and Volleyball Guy are getting married at the end of this month. The British Director was also in attendance, as was the daughter of one of the A2 co-op shala members.

Muscle Man led. A regular primary, a few poses from intermediate and — oddly & whimsically (but rather fun), a few minutes spent on natarajasana.

One of the women brought along a male friend. He soldiered through diligently. As we were leaving the room, she asked him, “Do you want to go get something to eat?”

“I think I’m going to go home and lie on my couch,” he replied. “For the rest of the day. And maybe tomorrow.”

Another Ashtangi is born.
