A bright and sunny day, the monsoon rains still staying away ! Park busy with Yoga day and Pride running event, and a Bharatnatyam perfromance at the Bandstand.

Trainers : Parag, Ganesh, Ali, Vinay, Junaid, Shriya

Hello: Chandrashekhar Ji, going for and returning from, his morning walk. Parag's Sister Rashmi who is visiting from abroad, accompanied by his wife, Priya. Shriya's dad Animesh. Priya Chetty from Heritage beku.

Newbies :

Harshitha : She was a star of the day, being the first to report to the session, with the track half occupied by the enthusiastic yoga performance on the occasion of the world Yoga day, Harshita a first time started off really well, and within no time got her balance and was cycling like a pro by the end of the session, she would need to practice turns and circles in the next class.. well Done Harshita !

Kalyan : Tall but managed the green bike and later scooting one, to put into use the 'Gyan' into practice (minus some flaws ) and managed to scoot for for microseconds with both feet up. Even half pedalled well.

Saki : Was scooting properly and learnt how to half pedal.

Veer : Another star of the day. Came with his parents, Poorva and Jeev. He quickly gained balance and was able to ride easily downhill. Since he had previously ridden with training wheels, he adapted well. He needs a little push while riding uphill and should practice using the brakes properly.

Ongoing Learners:

Amulya- Came after a 3 week break, did a bit of scooting, then pedaling, and moved to zig zags

Adheera : Continued with scooting,needs a bit more practice

Disha Murthy : Continued with some scooting and half pedalling.

Dhanyashree : Came with Disha and moved to pedalling today.

Dwithi : Continued pedaling today, downhill is working , but struggles uphill.

Padma: Did zigzags, then circles incliuding figure 8, and started on riding one handed for signaling.

Shweta : Continued with pedaling up and down and started on zig zags.

Salma: Apart from doing few rounds, now getting involved in the training aspect !! Wonderful 👍
