| Our mountain, yesterday Shiga. |
There was a point in November when My Hard drive was grinding to a halt when I thought I might as well stop blogging altogether, besides it's not as if I'd blogged much that year....
Turns out I had blogged more than I'd thought, 150 posts (although previous years were 250-350, what did i find to write about?). Below I've chosen one a month that I'd like to read again myself.
Below that list is a list of Ramaswami's monthly newsletters/articles
Also a list of 23 posts with Krishnamacharya in the title, there are probably other posts concerning krishnamacharya but I was just going by the title.
There is also a list of 13 posts on Pattabhi Jois
Best wishes for the new year.

I'll forget the trail I marked out on Mount Yoshino last year, go searching for blossoms in directions I've never been before.
