It is official - the new Heir to the Jois family has been given a name! Shamboo Jois - Saraswati informed a few of us after practice. She was grinning ear to ear - a pround grandma!

3:45am rolled around a little too quickly for me this morning...Oh my body was achy and didn't want to get out of bed...I very gingerly lifted myself from bed and slowly made way to the bathroom for a nice long hot shower - which made all the difference - felt like I could conquer the world after that 20 minutes of heaven. I quickly made my way to the shala and placed myself and my mat down - where I stayed and stretched and relaxed for a good ten or more minutes before Saraswati came out of the office to begin class. I must say that I had the bst practice I've had in weeks - quite the shocker to me as my body was stiff and tired from all the physical activity of yesterday. But I was so focused, so deep in my breath and bandhas, not one thought seemed to sweep over my mind from the time we lifted our arms for the first sun salutation to the time I lifted my body from Shavasana - so gorgeous when you have a practice like that.
