John Leebold rang me (Australian for "called me on the phone") last week and he's still in India. He's attending classes and assisting Guruji in his therapeutic classes at the Iyengar Institute in Pune.
Ray Madigan and Shelly Choy, co-directors of the Manoa Yoga Center have also arrived so they'll have a chance to discuss John's next visit to Hawaii this coming March.
Staying in an apartment very near to the institute, John's internet access has been spotty but we were lucky to get a decent Skype connection last week (9:30pm my time, 1:00pm the next day in India). The city was preparing for Diwali,the Festival of Lights. "It's very noisy here! Fireworks going off all the time," John reported. "Keep your headset handy, I'll call back soon."
