Pune Guide
For Iyengar Yoga students visiting RIMYI.
Written and illustrated by Bobby Clennell.
What's on this month Sample
- Diwali — a five-day festival in November. Expect the Institute to close for at least three days. There will be non-stop fireworks in the streets the week before and after Diwali. RIMYI
- Patanjali Jayanti — November; no evening classes on that day. RIMYI
- Many of us left town during Diwali because of the noise and smoke in the neighborhood. Goa is a good Diwali-break destination — one hour by plane from Pune. RIMYI
- If attending during the winter months (November through January), a shawl, sweater or lightweight jacket for early mornings and evenings. What to bring
