Comments: Rashmi aunty was not in class today as she is away for the week. The Geeta chanting day is fast approaching. Kids, you are doing wonderfully! Keep practicing and we are sure you will do wonderfully. As mentioned in the announcements, our request for the 9.30 am. slot is approved :). Please plan to be there early (by 9 am).

Kids enjoyed the class with the regular bhajans, shlokas and Geeta chanting. They had fun listening to the story of the 'Monkey and the cap seller' and making paper oragami caps too. Expending their energy during yoga time is fun as always!

Snippets: During the story when the cap seller was selling the caps, calling out 'buy my caps, buy my caps', one of our smart shoppers said, '2 at the price of 1'! Boy do we have a pack of smart kids (buyers) or what :-)
