MorningMysore

Wednesday, July 2nd and Friday, July 18th are the moon days, there will be no morning mysore classes. July 18th is Sri. K. Pattabhi Jois 93rd birthday :).

For Independence Day, Friday, July 4th, there will be self practice at 7:30 am. Regular schedule all other days 4th of July weekend.

Hi all,

Because the Friday led primary class has had low attendance recently, we will be changing its format to a normal Mysore-Style class starting next week, with Leigha teaching it.

If you feel strongly about this either way please let us know.

For the last Friday led class this Friday 6/13, it will be a special class led by Sharath (courtesy of modern technology, with his CD of the Primary Series). Sharath will guide us through the primary series, and since his pace is pretty fast, we will do our best to follow it . Class will start at 6:30 am as usual.

Leigha Nicole has been teaching yoga for 23 years and taught at Yoga Works in Santa Monica, California, since its inception in 1987.  Her extensive and thorough knowledge of anatomy stems from a bodywork practice that spans two decades.  She has been traveling to Mysore, India for the past 16 years to study with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, and was authorized to teach by him in 1996.  Tim Miller is her main teacher in the west.

Her studies in meditation began with Osho with whom she took sannyas in 1986 and continues with both schools of Zen Buddhism.

She also has a long history with the meditative cultural arts of the East.  She is an avid student of Chanoyu (tea ceremony) through the Urasenke school and studies Chinese brush painting with her long time teacher Ning Yeh.

The Monday-Thursday 9:30am Ashtanga Mysore classes will be self-practice classes for the near future.

Apologies to all the mid morning practice devotees.

Dear all, Leigha Nicole will be teaching the Mysore classes at YiY starting tomorrow, Monday June 9, and for at least two months.

She is one of my favorite teachers and I think that we are very lucky that she was able to come!
