Had a great day at the Institute. Went to a practice session in the morning. Mr. Iyengar came in twice during the 3 hour session to do some yoga. Most memorable was his supported backbend with a stopwatch cradled in his hands. All the difficulties in traveling and living here are worth it when I'm at the Institute. Had a class this evening with Prashant, Mr. Iyengar's son. It was a great class with a focus on the integration of body, mind and breath. A more mental than physical concentration in the class. He has a great sense of humor. Tomorrow, I have a class with Abhajata, Mr. Iyengar's granddaughter.
Tom had an intermediate class with Rajlaksmi, who is also a medical doctor. He thought the class was great.
