Thali Dinner

Last night we had Thali with Nitin and his family. Thali is speed-serving and speed-eating. The waiters came around and dished out small portions of various dishes into small stainless steel bowls and onto a large stainless steel platter. Every two minutes they would show up again with new and different items, or 2nd or 3rd helpings. It was fun, tasty and satisfying! It was great to see Nitin and his family.

We had our first ladies class this morning. The teachers tag-teamed the teaching duties. Gulnaaz, and Abhijata took turns teaching. The reason they were taking turns was that Mr. Iyengar was watching our poses, and then telling them what to say and teach! It was a little confusing at the start, but then the class proceeded well as everyone settled in. We worked on our feet – lifting the soles of the feet off the floor in downward dog, Uttanasana and Triangle pose. This work was to help us straighten the legs. It was a invigorating class.

hmm...I see this class in my future!
We had an interesting class with Bud on Monday. We did Utthita Parsvakonasana eight times! Still feeling it... :)
I'm excited for Bud...I can only imagine how my practice might change if I were confronted with teaching seven or so classes...
Big summer for Sunset Yoga!
