Arrival in Mysore
After a 3 year hiatus, we’re back in Mysore. As many of you would have read we were in Goa this past December and did have a good time and strong connection with Sharath.
Gretchen and I are here for the level two authorization training. Don’t ask, we don’t really know what it all means. I [...]
Final Sharath Conference
I thought I’d share my final thoughts on the Sharath Conferences at Purple Valley in Goa.
In the last week Sharath’s family arrived. It was definitely very sweet to see the kids running around and calling sharath Appa (father). Although it added something sweet to the conferences, it made them a bit distracting and unfocused.
On the [...]
Goa Airport
I just wanted to share the scary looking santas!
Police Hassle
Last week Gretchen and I went off-roading on our scooter to catch a sunset from up high. To be honest there isn’t much difference between some of the roads and the dirt path that we were on to get to the top of a hill at Vagator Beach. The scooter was whining a bit at [...]
Sharath Confernece
Conference. was actually on the 20th.
We have conference 3 times a week on various topics but they started in a logical place, with the eight limbs.
They’ve all been quite good but today’s in particular stood out. Sharath has shown himself to be on the path to being a yoga scholar, like his grandfather before him. [...]
Anatomy Question #1
Since I’ve been here at Purple Valley I’ve been asked a couple of questions regarding anatomy or truly as a result of some little pain that has popped up for someone.
I never advertise that I am here to answer your anatomy questions… unless of course I’m doing an anatomy or yoga workshop. Dare I say, [...]
Yoga for the moment
As for the Ashtanga course with Sharath… I’m truly enjoying getting to be a student for at least a few weeks. The accommodations are particularly nice and the space that they’ve created at Purple Valley Yoga (http://www.yogagoa.com) is simply beautiful.
The schedule is led primary Thursday, Friday and Sunday and Mysore style Monday – Wednesday. So, [...]
About Goa
The internet is not as accessible as one would like in Goa… but I’m on now.
I’ve got to backtrack a little bit. We arrived in Delhi to a hotel room booked on the wrong day and the flight the next day actually departed before we arrived in Delhi to get to Goa. So we started [...]
Photos Coming
If there’s one thing you get in Goa… It’s sunset after sunset. This one was taken from Peet’s Shack on Candolim Beach.
Heading to Mother India
It’s Saturday morning and I’m making my list and checking it twice. I’ve already done some running around as things occur to me that I think I need for this trip. Mostly practical stuff, like film for my super cheap Holga medium format camera. Seems to me that India and China will have some interesting [...]
