  Wednesday, November 30, 2022   Aho’ Rajanaka,   I hope this finds you well.  I’ve been conjuring courses for next year.  Next year .  That’s about 31 days from  now ?  How can that be?  Our Rajanaka together is coming to well-past 20 years and it’s more than 45 years ago I began to study with Appa.  What do you say to at least another 20?  But let’s get to December’s schedule.  Yoga wasn’t made in a weekend.  It took  a lot  of weekends.

You can join anytime, any Session.  I hope you do.  It’s really worth it. Zoom link for  all  Thursda
