Oh no - an Angela-kilted Yogi's (moi) photo yesterday - at Namaste Yoga in your course! Here's kilted Yogi Finlay Wilson in Dundee, Scotland - Dancers teasing kelpies -
https://twitter.com/kiltedyogis/status/909392961221414912 ... only in his kilt in nature by a pool and waterfall, and doing Natarajasana (which I just learned can also be called Lord of the Dance Pose  :)
(and which I just posted to the Scottish Country Dancing Open Band Twitter feed - https://twitter.com/TheOpenBand).

Thank you for your wonderful Yoga course and teachings in Berkeley, Angela.

Have a quick question about my right ear Eustachian Tube Dysfunction and best Yoga asana for this. Condition begins in late '60s even in a Saturday morning swimming program at Yale University (where all the boys all swam naked - and when at the same time protests were happening on the streets of New Haven). I remember complaining of ear aches at night to my father. Condition may have been compounded by Harbin soaking over the recent years too a bit. I seek to open my
right ear a lot, and the elevation change in getting to Canyon, CA, where I live seems to affect my ear too.

Karnapidasana (shoulderstand, knees to ears with its related small twists), lion pose (roaring, and opening the jaw), gargling with as hot as possible salt water (I'm not into nadi pots however), and
possibly twists may help a tiny bit, but these are all just so-so in their effects. So perhaps I'll just befriend further the impactedness of my mostly right ear - and release it fully to open it - and my
seeking to open it / pop open my right ear, but it you have suggestions for further asana / pranayama for this, I'd be very grateful. Thank you so much.

Who is Joc in the course, I wonder, Angela. Joc also said she went to your course on the Psyche in SF re CIIS a few years ago. Am aware that Joc and L, my friend since 1994 I think, whom I met in your course on Salt Spring Island in Canada, have "L.." in their names in common. Jacques Lacan, French psychoanalyst MD, emphasizing language and the role of the signifier in understanding the psyche or
unconscious - https://twitter.com/janmpdx/status/915577359926829056
(Reed College Prof of German, and a bit philosophical too) - whose work I'm thinking about these days - https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/09/bottlenose-dolphin-jacques-lacan-md-and.html
and https://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2017/09/spinner-dolphin-spirituality-for.html - brings my mind to these "l..." letters in Joc's name, and even re my seeking a friend~girlfriend~partner~potential wife and mom-to-be (and if she were an earth-mother MD, and a love, that could be
wonderful especially) ... "Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver and the other gold," - so goes the beautiful old (Yoga?) round ... :) ... Is Jocelyn a philosopher with a Stanford or Berkeley Ph.D., I wonder?

I think I last saw you both at Harbin, Victor and Angela, in the restaurant about 3 or 4 years ago, and it may have been on this "Yoga and the Psyche" course trip. (Although I remember you teaching a
course at UC Berkeley 10-ish years ago too together, but this probably before this Yoga course).

Seeking to live until 12,489 years of age+ with a Stanford University "multi-vitamin" (still a dream at this point, but Stanford researcher Tony Wyss-Coray and others are working on related questions of
longevity and memory).

Seeking too to add "warm bath, warm pool, Harbin Hot Springs", which you mentioned yesterday, to these little hippy yoga noteys - http://www.scottmacleod.com/yoganotations.html . Thanks too for your rock star Yoga teaching, Angelica!

See you soon for the last day of your Yoga course, Angela, and thank
you for coming to Berkeley to teach!
