Ashtanga Yoga

Mysore of late?

feeds@yuku.com (Unbearablelightness) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 10:50:54 GMT

So, just out of curiosity, what's the word on the street in Mysore of late? I might be opening up a can of worms, but I haven't heard much about people going since Guruji's passing.

What's the vibe at the shala? I do see on the website that the shala is full from Jan 9-Feb 10, so there must still be a lot of people going.

Returning to the board and ashtanga

feeds@yuku.com (Jman1202) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 12:19:08 GMT

Hello All,

I am the ashtangi formerly know as new2ashtanga, for those of you who were around 3-4 years ago you may or may not remember me. I am return to ashtanga wanting to rededicate myself to daily practice and still make room for my other favorite past time, that being capoeira. I have been very lax in my ashtanga practice for the past three years practicing sporadically at best. I am looking to improve my practice, but maintain my capoeira practice as well. Basically,...

Yoga Class Etiquette and Some Tips on Practice

feeds@yuku.com (Iraputra) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 08:17:48 GMT

As a curious beginner, some time ago, I discovered that there actually are quite a few rules on how to behave in a yoga shala - even though it basically boils down to use common sense and learn the yamas and niyamas, and thus in short:

• don't do asanas on a full stomach, or with a fever (or on full/new moon)
• be clean (you and your clothes & mat) and barefoot
• be on time, turn off your cell phone, and be quiet
•...

Ashtanga Minor Injuries - causes and cures

feeds@yuku.com (Tweetsnat) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 02:32:55 GMT

Hi,

I have been practising Ashtanga for a couple of years now and have begun suffering from two chronic injuries over the past year. One is to my knees (especially the left one), the other is pain in my upper leg, close to the sit bones but not in the hamstrings (its not sciatica because the pain is only in one spot during forward bends and doesn't travel down my leg).

I've spoken to my teachers who say, just keep practising it will go away but it doesn't....

what was that dvd?

sort of glossy production covering the various spiritual paths in India. Mainstreamish, but apparently quite good nevertheless.

Red eyes during/after practice + savasana

feeds@yuku.com (voirin) — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 14:19:22 GMT

Hi, I'm unsure as to the status of this forum as there have been posts about its closure. Well anyways, I'll see if this one gets posted.

I have recently started practising Ashtanga again after a lengthy hiatus. I have been maintaining a 90min backyard session at home in the mornings. I am finding that my eyes get reasonably red during the practice, and especially after. I do have conjunctivitis (which is very well controled these days without meds), but it seems to flair up...

Pins & Needles in Asana

feeds@yuku.com (OzeBoy) — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 15:46:42 GMT

Often when I sit in padmasana or simple cross legged I get pins and needles after about 5 minutes. Sometimes earlier. I've been practising for a few years on and off (but now more regularly) and was wondering if this is normal? Is it just a matter of time until I stop getting pins and needles so easily? Any recommended asanas or tips to help with this? Is it a fitness thing?

Sheshadri

feeds@yuku.com (JadeSee) — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 07:13:00 GMT

Heh,
I'm going to Mysore for a month in November. I have tried emailing and phoning Sheshadri, but i'm not sure if i'm registered to study with them or not! My last phone called ended with me being told 'just come'. So, i will just come, but i wondered if anyone had any ideas about accomodation near to Sheshadri's new shala in Krishnamurthy Puram.

I'm thinking of just getting a taxi (a friend has given me a number for the taxi) and staying at The...

ashtanga near North Beach, San Francisco?

feeds@yuku.com (uqnnyl) — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 16:16:26 GMT

Before the board freezes , I was wondering if anyone can advise on a good place to practice during my visit to SF. I will be staying in North Beach, without a car. I looked up GreenPath yoga and Mission Ashtanga, but these seem to be 40 min away by bus ride. Might there be a smaller studio closer by?

Thanks,

Sharath schedule 2010?

I am hoping to return to Mysore in 2010. KPJAYI.com says Sharath will be teaching Jan 10 - April 9. Does anyone know of his schedule after this time? I was hoping to go mid-March - June, but would like to study with Sharath again. Evan

Well, we're just over a week away from the Big Freeze ("Shut it down, Shut it down now forever" - Mr Book).

My thoughts turn to the many interesting topics that have been discussed on this board and wonder what threads everyone remembers.

Quite the most spectacular (IMHO) was 35%-gate.
