Boy it's really heating up here on the Ganges, i tell ya./... in the daytime. I don't know what the temperature is but it is approaching "mad dogs and Englishmen" around 12-3 in the afternoons. woosh.
Classes are going good. i have now graduated from yoga student and trainee to teacher. Teacher of students, not teacher of teachers, of course. Although one student in my class was a teacher, of yoga and of regular school.
My teacher, the big kahuna, and his wife and their daughter have left for canada, (nice sanity in that, get out before this country turns into a cooker). So i arrived at their ashram before them and outstayed them, outlasted them, as i am still there and they are not.
I got up the guts to ask my teacher if i could teach the afternooon class and he said yes!
There are typically two classes daily at the ashram, morning at 6am and afternoon at 4pm. so i teach the 4pm class and am able to put my newly acquired skills into action right away, which is wonderful. Wouldn't want to wait too long and forget everything I learned.
I have to say it is the singly most hard, challenging, fulfilling, satisfying, gratifying thing i've done in my entire life. I really can't describe the feeling much more than to say that. The learning curve is so sharp.
But i have a bunch of bright eyed, bushy tailed students, young and old, about 13 to 10 right now, so that is a pretty large class to start out beginning teaching. Just jump in and sink or swim, its the only way.
Well, that is what is going on then.
So I get half price on the cost of my stay at the ashram so now i am living on dollars a day, like
$7. 50 or something ridiculous like that. I committed to two weeks but may stay and do it longer if the spirit so moves me.
So between that and practicing my flute... i really don't have anything else exciting going on.
I'm still coming home June 5th though, so don't worry that i'm settling in and never coming back. hahaha
love and kisses
