MorningMysore

The title says it all - no morning Mysore class that day.

Enjoy the sleep in.

Hi Everybody -

We are having baby #2 around Christmas. I am currently 4 1/2 months pregnant. I hoped to tell all of you in person, but not much talking in class. If I haven’t been able to tell you in person, you probably have already guessed but were being polite just in case it weren’t the case! I figured I would go down the list of questions for you as well!

- We don’t know the gender yet, but should on August 11th. these days they only do one ultrasound at the beginning to confirm viability and then another one at the 20 week mark (~half way).

- This has been a tougher pregnancy, the first trimester was lots of nausea, racing heart rates and fatigue. Things have gotten better in the past few weeks, but it is definitely an entirely different pregnancy from August’s!

- No, I haven’t been practicing nearly as much, probably 2 or 3 times a week. I have been going to the gym more this time. The heat and the smells in the studio have been a little more challenging for me this time! I hope to write another article for Phillipe, but you know how time seems to be harder to come by with each new day!

- We think August is ready for a new sibling - he points out babies and was super sweet to his little cousin last week. He doesn’t really get the idea of a new baby yet, but it is starting to sink in. He now points at my belly again and says, “baby”. Granted, he also then points at his own belly and says baby, but we are getting closer!

- We have no idea how we are going to handle two kids, but I am sure we will figure it out!

Hope everything is going well for all of you. Lots of love,

Wendy, Terence and August Spies

So no morning Mysore class at 6:30 that morning. But in that evening we are having a party!

Dear all,

Guruji is turning 93 years old next Friday, July 18 (a moon day). We are planning organize a celebration that evening.

UPDATE 7/15:

I just sent an Evite out with all the details - if you did not get it please email me philippe @ nodiamonds.com and I will send you it.

If there are enough people who want to come, we will book a private room, if not we can get a table.

Please let me know if you intend to come and how many via comments to this post.

I’ll be posting exact details in a few days.

Hello Fellow Yogis,

Summer is in full swing and I wanted to invite you all out to another salsa evening. This one is a great excuse to come out and experience Latin music with a Bollywood twist! The Salsa Gala includes a dance class, performances and dancing until the wee hours (much later than most yogis stay up!)–All for only $15!!!

The big day is this Friday, July 11th. My good friend Giju John, is holding a salsa social at Alberto’s Nightclub just down the street. He is raising money to pay for his upcoming two videos which are being recorded in India at the end of the month.

Since his album came out, Giju’s reputation has been growing. Most recently, he has been recognized by the Latin dance community and invited to perform at the World Salsa Championships-where he not only sang, but also competed with the local competitive dance team: Salsamania Dance Company. His performance was broadcast on ESPN and ESPN Deportes in May and June:
