Yoga 108, Moscow, RUSSIA
Moscow was magnificent, the grand old dame of Europe, honestly it took my breath away again and again, it's difficult to think of a city that competes with it for sheer scale and grandeur, do visit but take the widest angle lens you can find.

Still can't believe I made it to Russia this lifetime, that you to Iyla and Yoga108 for inviting me.
Only just made it. Arrived in London from Japan and had a week to exchange my Japanese Certificate of Eligibility into a full Japanese Spouse Visa which I could then take over to the Russian passport office in the hope they could get me an emergency Russian Visa before the weekend. All work out fine with a whole day to spare.
Thank you to Ivan and Valariya for looking after me, sharing gallons of their families honey and introducing me to buckwheat
I had hoped to attend David Robson's workshop during the rest of the week but ended up being a little out of the way to make it in to Mysore each morning, pleasure t meet David though at the airport as well as Dmitry.

| I'd promised my dear friend Satori a postcard from Russia, finally found a postcard on the last day but not a post office that was open, this 1957 Sputnik stamp is to make some amends. Saw one of the original sputniks in the Russian aeronautical museum in Moscow. |

| A pleasure to meet up with Ilya Zhuralev, one of the founders of of Yoga108 (along with Mikhail Baranov) and the excellent Wild Yogi magazine, knowledgable guy. |

| Also a pleasure to work again with Maria Voroboyeva, one of the teachers at yoga108 who had been translating my classes on the Yoga Rainbow festival earlier in the year. |
