december news 2011

during autumn and winter when there is less light and as it gets colder. it is natural for the body and being to go into a more contractive state. please be aware of your internal changes and practice accordingly. the dynamic nature of the ashtanga practice helps us to generate heat and cultivate our inner fire and a feeling of expansiveness during these upcoming cold months… here is the december news:

1. please note that both moon days this month fall on SATURDAY, so they do NOT affect the class schedule.

2. TUESDAY, 6 DECEMBER and THURSDAY, 8 DECEMBER are public holidays and the normal schedule of classes will be canceled on these days. there will ONLY be a LED CLASS at 10am. please arrive 10 minutes early so that we can start on time.

9. during these cold months, when entering and exiting the shala, please close the door well as to keep the warm air in and cold air out… likewise, the doors to the practice room should always be kept closed in order to retain the heat. thank you!

i will be away from 4 december until 8 january. i am going to mysore, india to practice with sharath, my teacher and the grandson of guruji (sri k. Pattabhi jois). it has been two and a half years since i have been there and i am taking this month to reconnect with the source and to focus on my own practice. i hope to return recharged and reinspired! in my absence, the classes will be taught by vero, tere, and aleix.
i wish you all the best for the holidays! for those of you who are traveling, have safe travels! take care… much love and peace… namaste, hojung
