Then the next day you show up at the time he gives you (though there is a "shala" time that you will understand when you are there - clock in shala is running differently) and wait in the foyer until he says, "one more!" then if it is your turn, you go in, set up your mat and start your practice. he will stop you where he thinks you should stop. and for led classes - they are at 430 and 630 am on led days. but sharath will tell you which one to go to. is that helpful? you show up to register at the shala during registration hours (late afternoon) with a passport photo of yourself and registration payment, and Sharath will give you a registration card with a time printed on it.

This does insure that balance.
