D-PRESSION

I have been so depressed.

Is Guruji sick, or is he not?

Will the shala open, or will it remain closed?

I was planning to go to Mysore when the studio re-opens in May.

I have already packed what I'm going to wear, plus the cosmetics and pharmacy.

I've also made a list of all of the fabrics I want to purchase. This past weekend I finished designing my "ethnic" spring line in silk and cotton. It's such a stretch for me, but when in Rome and all that.

I was even going to save a few Euros by paying some locals to sew the entire line for me. That would make it really ethnic.

But if Pattabhi Jois is sick my plans are ruined.

I wish he'd get better -- and fast.
