We finally had a day off! I am getting used to this good life of hotel service and had the Taj Deccan hotel arrange a yoga session for me. There seemed to be some holiday today, so yoga studios were closed. But the Taj came through and arranged a 2 hour private session with Murali Krishna, yoga instructor.
This was not the most traditional class, since I had my journal for note taking and flip-cam handy, and I did ask questions during postures. It was my first official class this trip to India, and it was great to spend an hour and a half moving, and laughing with Krishna, who was quasi drill sergeant-like, instructing my hamstrings and hips to move farther than they ever have before. Krishna was a wonderful instructor and I learned much about pranayama (breathing) techniques, mudras (yoga of the hands), mantras, and yogic philosophy.
Later, I taught Ida a yoga session outdoors... it is great to share my knowledge with others and pass along my love of yoga.
