Authorization, yoga poses, advanced series. Most of the instruction I receive has to do with making my dharana less freaking seriously.<br /><br />This is what it was on the inside of the experience like last year. Totally sweet and lovey. This year was a little more crazy, since it was packed to the gills. But it's never the grueling mad house that it seemed like to the others who wrote it up from the outside.

Or are you referring to people (non-yogis) in general? Is Mysore a popular summer vacation spot in India or something?

I think this ...What an adventure. Have fun, Nobel.<br /><br />I think this will be a very sweet time to be there. Many families are planning to take their kids in July, since school's out.<br /><br />I agree with Karen and Ellie and Claudia. Just go for it once you're on the ground. <br /><br />Exception is if you can arrive a few days before the shala opens. People do like to do this to get first choice of accommodation and wheels. If you are arriving a few days before the opening, you can probably just book a hotel for a night or two and move in to a nice place near the shala soon after. But the latter most likely needs to be arranged, at least on your first trip, once you arrive. <br /><br />No matter what you do, everything will fall in to place in a way just right for you. I look forward to reading about your discoveries.(0v0)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01354310899232411435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449952380128375575.post-41162607058402476502012-04-07T17:39:37.473-07:002012-04-07T17:39:37.473-07:00How odd.

So people don't get sent back. He totally wants them there, at least as far as eka pada sirsasana. Y, what you observed might have been a case of someone accidentally attending the wrong class? <br /><br />While I enjoy the lore of someone getting stopped in the standing postures in a led class, and part of me wants to leave that out there to make Sharath sound especially hardcore, he's not *that* hardcore... :-)(0v0)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01354310899232411435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449952380128375575.post-30638740789502546962012-04-07T15:55:56.146-07:002012-04-07T15:55:56.146-07:00I wouldn't give up if I were you; as they say,...I wouldn't give up if I were you; as they say, there is never a better time to go than now...Nobelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00655577410721103577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449952380128375575.post-81417295185516347172012-04-06T23:13:47.832-07:002012-04-06T23:13:47.832-07:00Half filled out the form then checked the cost of ...Half filled out the form then checked the cost of flights, more than I expected so probably won't bother, have a great time.Grimmlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00301656317399292135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1449952380128375575.post-50359247341252340572012-04-06T21:05:27.550-07:002012-04-06T21:05:27.550-07:00Thanks for sharing, Karen.
