First Day at the Institute

To Karen’s and my disappointment, we missed class today. The schedule has changed and Monday class is now at 7am. As we hadn’t finished getting registered, we could not attend. But we did get to practice! It felt great to practice for a couple of hours and work out the kinks from the long days of travel. Mr. Iyengar was there, instructing his granddaughter while others watched. The amazing thing was that he was instructing her while he was in a supported deep backbend himself. This went on for at least 15 minutes.
It was exciting to be at the Institute and see some of the same people we met two years ago. Fellow Iyengar students from Italy, Russia and England were among those that recognized Karen and I! Also, there was a woman from New York who was a student in my assessment last fall. It was fun to see her again.
The weather today is rainy and windy. The wind has been howling by our windows for the last three hours as Karen and I spend some more time catching up. Jen has just stopped by to compare notes and the three of us are going to dinner tonight.
