December 7, 2025

The darkest time of year is here, winter is coming!

CLASS UPDATE: TUESDAY DECEMBER 16TH WILL BE A SECOND LED PRIMARY SERIES CLASS. Same time, doors will open at 5:45, class begins around 6pm. Come on over if you’re craving an evening Primary Series class.

Primary Series is a great way to stoke your inner fire, and learn how to observe your breathing, thoughts and movements with focus. I could call it a great warmup but why stop there? It’s much more than that. It’s an amazing, frustrating, humbling, athletic, and satisfying journey to begin!

That said, this is Minnesota. : ) If you have a regular Ashtanga Yoga practice, things might feel quite different in your body, right now. That’s okay. It needs time and patience and some consistent attention to adjust. I’ve found that smaller things can make a big difference. Also, some humor and acceptance. So, begin with those. If you’ve got a favorite ritual or routine that gets you through the cold months, think about how that supports you. Is it useful? Great!

What “Invites Warmth,” in your life right now, physically and subtly? If you can think of some things, these can be good clues for you.

December 2025

Above is the lovely Shanti Mantra that many of you may have been present to sample and learn about on 11/11/2025. I chose this because not only is it for lasting Peace, it is a mantra protective of teachers, students and the relationships they have. An important idea, on the first anniversary of R Sharath Jois’ passing.

FULL MOON: THURSDAY 12/4/2025

NEW MOON: SATURDAY 12/20/2025

ASHTANGA PRIMARY SERIES LED CLASS DATE: TUESDAY 12/2/2025.

There are 5 Tuesdays in December this go-around, I’m going to be asking everyone how they might feel about a more structured schedule for December. I know the last couple of weeks of the month are deep in holiday time and perhaps I can focus in or back off to better work with this. How does everyone feel about another led class (or a half Primary) on Tuesday the 16th, or after? Regular practice is always a commitment but Primary Series is a wonderful anchor for the whirlwind of the holidays and closing of the year.

Mysore Style Tuesdays on the Horizon! September 2025

First Tuesday of the month: September 2nd, 2025- Primary Series Led Class. Doors open at 5:45pm, and class officially starts at 6pm. This is the guided Ashtanga Yoga sequence most of you know and love, so not much different on this particular Tuesday. If you’re a regular attendee, good to see you! If you’re new to this class (and Ashtanga Yoga in general), welcome! We can chat a little before we get started to get you on the right foot, going forward.

Ashtanga Yoga Tuesdays thereafter: 9/9, 9/16, 9/23, 9/30- these will be a Mysore Style format- at a slightly different time. 5:45pm- 7:45pm. Be aware that you don’t have to start at 5:45pm sharp. Simply arrive as early as you can, likely you will have enough space in the 2 hour time slot to do what you are working on in your asana practice. What if you don’t want to do everything you know? Not a problem, either- this practice is about what’s right for you, in the present moment on the mat. Sometimes “less is more”.

Last Tip: take some time to read up on what I’m offering on the classes page and there’s more on Mysore Style Ashtanga Yoga on its own page.

See you on the mat!

July 2025 bits and pieces

My furry Ashtanga familiar, senior lady Dolly.

First things first:

Above are the moons for July. Full moon this Thursday!

I will be traveling July14th-22nd, so no class on July 15th or the 22nd for Tuesday led class, at Nokomis Yoga. I will put this on the Class Offerings page and notify those of you that I have an email for.

Next, there’s a “new” Mysore Program in town! This is the crew that grew out of One Yoga’s space and is now (literally) down the hall at the Ivy Building. Here’s the new webpage: https://www.aysminneapolis.com/

Check it out! Mostly traditional morning mysore but there’s a couple of differences- Thursday afternoon mysore is offered and no Fridays right now. If you’re intrigued, introduce yourself!

Lastly(is that a word??) I wanted to say that I’m working on a few changes for after the summer this year. I would like to continue teaching as usual on Tuesdays at Nokomis Yoga. I’m working on transitioning this time to a Mysore style( a self- paced practice) class format. I think all my regular people are ready and I am excited to teach this method to new students. Note that there are more details to work out and I will not be switching my teaching focus until September 2025. If you’ve got questions, I’ll see you soon- or you can email me through the Contact Page.
