Huge Thunderstorms last night. Flashes of the brightest lightening I've ever witnessed with an immediate clap of Thor's thunder right after. WOW! Buckets of warm rain pour down upon the townspeople and the streets turn into running streams of water while the gutters turn into rivers. To top it all off everyone (including me) is in sandals! It stops as fast as it came and the sky clears to a warm sun - but moments later it's back. How can those fluffy clouds hold so much moisture? Simply amazing. Yesterday we had back-to-back yoga classes with Arun for an extended 2 1/2 hour practice focusing on shoulders and abdominals. Lots of twists for the shoulders and leg-lifting poses (Navasana - i.e, "Boat Pose") for the abdominal core. Long holds, challenging sequences, and a teacher with a very focused eye - keeps you working harding than you think you have in you. It was so great.
Today is the final celebration of the year long celebration that started on October 26, 2013 on the "beginning" of Arun's 60th year. That's how they count birthday's in India. When you're born it's your "first year", so at the end of it you celebrate your 1st year. So officially - last October 26, 2013 was the start of Arun's 60th year - and the 30th year of his yoga studio - Prashant Yogashraya.Today he releases his new book - "Experiment and Experience on the Chair - the Yoga Way". There was a great article in The New Indian Express about the book release.
Everyone is very excited. We just hope the book doesn't get wet in the rain!
