Mysore and a Movie
Ashtanga Mysore Practice followed by the movie 'Ashtanga, NY'
Sunday May 16th!!!
For Ashtanga Yoga practitioners who have a regular practice, instead of being verbally led through a yoga practice, it is a traditional way to 'self practice' with the energetic support of the others in the room and the hands-on assists by the teacher. (Sheila) Even if you do not think you 'know' the series, you can follow along and be quietly led and guided through the practice. It is a great way to really learn the series, and enjoy the full benefit of your 'meditation in motion' discovering that 'everything you need to know is already inside yourself!'
Doors will open for the movie at 4:00 pm, so all students my join us for the showing of the movie "Ashtanga NY" (no charge)
Ashtanga, NY, winner of Best Documentary, Indiefest, Chicago, August, 2003: For the month of September, 2001, New York City was to be Ashtanga Yoga Central, led by (the late) Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, and devotees were arriving from all over the world. It was a rare opportunity to observe this subculture up close, en masse, over 1,000 students streaming to Soho at dawn, every day for 4 weeks, and the 87 year old Jois himself, on foreign shores.
The September 11th terrorist attacks changed New York irrevocably, and the meaning of this yoga gathering. In the difficult weeks that followed, Jois used the Ashtanga practice to help heal and fortify his diverse followers. Ashtanga, NY is a real look into the intersection of ancient practice and modern life, New York-style.
Next Mysore and Movie TBA
Mysore Ashtanga Yoga practice followed by the movie 'Guru' (the teacher who an take you on a journey of transformation, from darkness into the light) Film maker Robert Wilkins travelled to Mysore India for Sri K. Pattabhi Jois's 90th birthday celebrations in July 2005. This film is a never before seen insight into the life of (the late) yoga guru who passed this summer at the age of 94.
