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
