November 2025

It’s close to a year since the sad, sad day in November 2024 that the world changed suddenly all over again. 11/11/2024. I am still processing what I feel. I did not resolve to go back to Mysuru for a visit of devotion and paying respects, as I was worried about how things were going to go around here in the USA. I couldn’t be so bummed for a month-long trip halfway around the world, traveling all by myself, anyway. I am missing South India, but then I have a feeling that it might be there when I don’t feel so underwater. : ) As things were, I didn’t have much time to sit with my feelings, work and keeping up with living was way too busy and frustrating, until last month.

I’ve bumped the Mysore Page so that there’s a general idea of what I’ve been up to since September. I have enjoyed seeing this long-thought-about change in teaching classes become a real thing. No time like the present! And, it’s never too late. My bite-sized Mysore Program may not be much right now but I believe it’s the right thing to do. Hoping Sharath Ji would approve!

News: I will be subbing a couple of Sundays at Ashtanga Yoga Shala Minneapolis, 11/9, and 11/16. You can click on the title above for more information about AYS. I’m excited to be in on the holding of the room with people that I don’t get to see often enough.

FULL MOON: WEDNESDAY 11/5

NEW MOON: THURSDAY 11/20

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.

New Moon is Coming Up 6/25

Looking for that Uddiyana Bandha stomach scoop- out? Think sow bugs. 😜😜😜 Hahaha- ew? Maybe.

Hello, Folks. Just riding on the mid- June roller coaster that is 2025. I have no better unsolicited advice than keeping your feet on the ground, your eyes open and focus on the messy middle. So far everything in waking life has been one extreme to another and that is not normal, nor should it ever be the norm.

That said, New Moon is on next Wednesday, 6/25. I’m looking forward to it. I am also hopeful that our Tuesday class time is not too much of anything- too hot, too smoky, too rainy, etc. We can concentrate on the middle, together, and maybe find some peace or contentment. Don’t let me forget to tell a couple of stories, if you’re interested and present- why we do Padmasana right leg first, traditionally, and why lots of Ashtanga practitioners observe the Moon Days. (Hint: it has to do with balancing extremes). 😁😁😁.

Until then, practice on……🌚
