longest day and yoga

June 21st just whizzed past. Longest day and all that.But in Bangalore with an overcast sky, longest day does not look too long. It was a theoretical thing, really for me this time.

But next day I saw that New yorkers welcomed the longest day with a unique demonstration. They did yoga in Times Square! Enjoying the sun and doing surya namaskar naturally!

B K S Iyengar was overwhelmed with the kind of response he got in a remote province in China, when he went there recently. He never knew there was such great following of his school of yoga in China. A few of his students, have started yoga schools there and they seem to be getting very good response.One of the students is supposed to have said that to learn yoga is now a 'fashion statement'.

Fashion and healthy living rarely go hand in hand, but then 'all truisms including this one is not valid all the time'!
