Settling In

After settling into my new rented home at Chamarajapuram, I ambled over to the Mysore Academy of Yoga in Lakshmipuram on Day Three, to meet my yoga master, Archarya Ramesh Kumar, and to get the course timetable.


Here's a look at the curriculum :
(Daily, including Moon Days and Saturday, with Sunday as Rest Day)


Asana Practice             5.30am - 7.30am

Yoga Therapeutics I      9.00am - 10.30am

Hmmmm..... looks like I've got to get up by 4am (since there are 2 of us sharing the house), which isn't too hard, since I'll be sleeping on this faux luxurious bed...

... wait for 30 minutes so that this high-tech piece of equipment can grant me a hot bath in the freezing cold monsoon morning... 

Water heater (read : boiler) and bath tub (read : orange bucket)

.... in order for me hop onto a speeding auto rickshaw and get to the shala by 5.15am.

Early nights and sweet dreams, everyone.
