Once I cam back from India I was mourning not having a mysore teacher to help with the postures... Still am really. I first thought that I could train Loren to do the same kind of adjustments/help/supports whcich Sharmila was giving me... and then I thought she really wouldn't have interest or energy, and that it was kind of a selfish request. This was confirmed by actually asking.
Gilles came next to mind... I offered him the opportunity to practice another night where we'll do 2 individual practices... his then mine.
I'll give him the kind of help I got from Sharmila, and then visa-versa. He's game... we're going to start next Tuesday. Time to brush up with Leno's book for exact vinyasa and dristhi details.
I'll be laying off the intensity with the Tuesday and Wednesday morning sessions at the gym now... likely scale it back to sun sals, back bends and closing.
