Spring and All 2k16 / what are you reading now?

Momentarily reviving as i missed this at the time:

iyengar's book light on life is one of the more moving quasi memoirs ive read, it has lots of prescriptions for yoga practice but phrases them a bit gentler than light on yoga and places them in the context of iyengar's interpretation of the yoga sutras. recommended if you're looking to go further with his writings.

xyzzzz__ do you practice at an iyengar studio?

I do most of my classes at yoga studios (although I've done some in a church space), most of which have ropes and props so get to do inversions and downward dog the Iyengar way sometimes.

I'm reading Pascal Meringeau's massive Jean Renoir bio, the first major one in decades.

Confusingly, here's a link to a few posts in the Contemporary Lit thread (not the contemporary lit thread) where I read GITTWF: Rolling Contemporary Literary Fiction
