Ok, Folks, we’re in the Spooky Season. : ) Enjoy the fall of summer and (I’m hopeful) cooler temperatures. Things may get spicy but of a sweeter, not fiery quality.

NEWS:

This month I will be trying something new! There’s been interest in some self-directed practice(AKA Mysore Style)from some of you, and I’d like to investigate the experience with you all! This month (September 2024) I will be holding a Mysore Style class time on the last Tuesday of the month- 9/24. It will be the same start and end time, and the biggest difference will be not talking everyone through the Primary Series sequence as usual. This opens up the practice time to work on your own but also at your own pace, with the support of a teacher. Try it, you might like it! Don’t worry, I can provide reminders and answer any questions that may come up prior to the day.

Extra Credit: Another idea ready to be implemented is some field trip time! If any of you are interested in going to other practices/classes with me, I’m looking to do some practicing in public this fall. : ) I get alternate Fridays off from work and then there’s weekends, if you have the energy. Let me know!

January 2023!

Some things to mention before I forget!

February is coming up fast. The moon days for February this year are Sundays.

FULL MOON: Sunday 2/5/2023

NEW MOON : Sunday 2/19/2023

I am not teaching at the Yoga Center anymore, but this year is the 10 year anniversary of my Yoga Study 500 hours completed there. In 2013 I also began an Ashtanga practice after taking a weeklong Primary Series immersion with David Swenson there. He is returning this spring for a weekend! Check out the workshop offerings at the Yoga Center Https://theyogacenterretreat.com/workshops/retreat site for the weekend of 4/21/2023 to 4/23/2023. I may check out the arm balance/float offering, as I am still figuring a lot of these things out nowadays.

Another thing worth mentioning in the short term is tacos! Yes, tacos. It’s becoming a very new tradition to go get some tacos with John and Hiromi from the Tuesday Ashtanga class afterwards. No pressure! It’s just a nice way to spice up the winter nights after class if you’re so inclined. : ) Do inquire if you’re interested.

A couple of weeks ago I introduced an alternative vinyasa for anyone curious about keeping with their Tristhana when their upper body might be trying too hard to keep up.(shoulder/wrist/etc pains or problems). While it’s not a cure-all, once you get the rhythm of it you may find it helpful when attempting to take care of any issues with the upper body for a while. I tried this out during a primary series led class, after a very taxing weekend. I could keep up with the vinyasa count and my shoulders didn’t get sore.❤️

Here’s the YouTube link that I found and worked with. Enjoy!
