Bloomers

Here I am sporting the requisite Pune bloomers. These were made and sold by one of the students here, but there are other purveyors of this yoga apparel. Today during the 9-12 a.m. practice I sweat more than I've sweat since I lived in Tucson, AZ, and had long hair down to my waist and rode my bike everywhere, even in the summer.  I'm talking THAT hot. But the bloomers were much better than skin-tight pants for keeping me cool, so I give them credit for that. You probably won't see me wearing them in B'ham, though.

Tonight was our weekly Pranayama class with Geeta. She gave simple instructions designed, of course, to get us to open the chest more. Lift the shoulders and roll them back, three times, then don't let them come forward when you inhale or exhale. The class was simple and energizing.
