Are you talkng about Guruji in New Y

[Guest guest]

Here's a bit more news about the

workshop:<br><br>Last week classes were to be held on Monday thru

Wednesday in a much different location, a gym at Chelsea

Piers on the west side (the other end of town from the

Puck Building). The gym turned out to be sort of a

mega-gym, a huge place, and class went forward (Monday and

Tuesday)on what looked like an indoor tennis court. (Had to

chuckle about Guruji teaching in a gym!) The class was

bigger because there was only one session per

day.<br>Wednesday class was cancelled because lower Manhattan was

basically all closed because of the World Trade Center

attack. On Thursday, I am told that classes were held at

Patanjali, and that Guruji led four separate sessions to

accommodate all the students in the smaller venue. Friday the

intrepid band of roving nomadic yogis finally returned to

the Puck Building, seventh floor - definitely my fav

of all the places, with wonderful space, natural

sunlight, and acoustics. (Saturday Guruji led a "makeup"

class -- possible yoga criminal?) Throughout all this

the energy of all classes remained amazingly high -

Guruji appears entirely unfazed by the disaster which

has occurred literally around us.<br><br>This week,

the third of four, the schedule is different; the

6:00 A.M. class is still full primary series, but the

8:00, which had been "half primary", is now

intermediate. Not that many people are doing intermediate; I

didn't try to count but I guess it's about 50 or so. And

the 6:00 primary class is much bigger now, since it

includes presumably everybody who (like myself) would

otherwise have done the "half-primary", plus everybody who

was already doing full primary and didn't want to

change to the intermediate class.<br><br>In case no one

has noted this, the classes are all "led" (not

Mysore-style).<br>Since it has been going on for three weeks now, I find

myself sometimes feeling as if it will last forever. I

know that I am getting deeper into just about every

posture, and my state of mind the rest of the time is

noticeably improved (or am I just tired from getting up so

early?). Sometimes I think about what FBL once said about

fixing the frame of a car that had been wrecked - I have

been getting minor seeming "injuries" regularly, only

to see them disappear in a day or so, as my body

(hopefully) adjusts.<br><br>Hope this will whet somewhat your

appetite for "news".
