90 Poses

Before I left for Pune to join in the celebrations for Guruji BKS Iyengar’s 90th Birthday, 26 students and teachers joined me to mark such a special occasion by doing 90 poses in 3 hours.

Any apprehensions were soon dispelled as everyone settled into the practice. It was a demonstration of what Guruji advocates: “effortless effort”.

And the good news was that nobody felt tired or even ached afterwards! Over £100 was raised to swell the funds I’d been accumulating recently for a donation to Guruji’s native village, Bellur – a perfect birthday present for him!
