Memorial Day Weekend Already?

  • Ready or not here we come!  Summertime!  Weekends heading to  the beach, the ocean and whatever else makes you smile in the summer.  It get’s steamy in the Shala this time of year so be sure to have a hand towel and it is necessary to have a rug or towel over your sticky mat especially if you can see pools of water on your mat.
  • We are open for practice this weekend as usual, however note the holiday time for Memorial Day, Monday the 25th of May we will start the Mysore session at 8 am.
  • Don’t forget that Alan is teaching the Sunday led class at 9:30 am.   This class is by donation so you can drop in and if you are a monthly, just come.
  • Lastly, we are gearing up for our Vermont weekend in July.   Deb will be teaching with Kiki Flynn.  This is a rare opportunity to have a senior teacher join us so we hope you will come with us.   She has so much experience to share with us.  We have space available.  It is going to be wonderful to be in nature and Vermont is extra special in the summer months and we will get to be with horses!

This weekend at AYM-5/15

Led Ashtanga with Deb

Every Friday we come together as a group to be led through the primary series with the traditional vinyasa count.  Students of all levels who are practicing regularly enjoy the benefit of the group energy and feel inspired to practice and to grow in the practice.  We have two groups to allow everyone an opportunity to practice.  For the Led Friday Class, chant is at 5;45 am and 7:30 am so please be 5 minutes early to settle in.    For this class you are encouraged to go up to the asana or pose to where you are practicing in your Mysore practice.  If you are dropping in, no worries, just have fun and BREATHE.

 

Friday with C-Ray, Iyengar Inspired

This Friday, May 15th, we will be “Walking the DOG” .  Focus will be on Adho Mukha Svanasana.  Figure we will be going up and down and across the floor.  Interesting . . . come play, I  mean practice with us!  C-Ray’s classes will inspire you and keep you guessing and practicing and breathing.

 

Sunday’s !!

Alan Buxbaum will be leading a guided Ashtanga class every Sunday at 9:30 am.  I am sincerely very happy to be able to have an opportunity to work with Alan on the practice and sharing it with others.  He is a guided teacher and has made sincere efforts in the practice that have shown how the practice takes root.

Monday, May 18th is a Moon day

We will not have Mysore session today.  Today is also the 6th anniversary of Guruji’s passing .    I am grateful to have had the opportunity to meet him.  Picture below is from 2005 at the Puck Building in NYC after Led Primary with Pattabhi Jois.
