As a community​, or sangha in Sanskrit, our common goal is health: physical, mental, and spiritual. The benefits we gain as individuals from our yoga practice - such as more energy, focus, peace, and strength - spiral out into our lives beyond the shala.

Pacific Ashtanga Yoga Shala is located in Dana Point, Orange County, California, midway between San Diego and Los Angeles.

On Being Rebellious

“The Dalai Lama once stated, “compassion is the radicalism of our time.” This is true today we rebel by loving more. When we can see and treat each other as family, we will know a global peace.” ~ yung pueblo

“It’s rebellious, in a way, to choose joy, to dance, to love your life. It’s much easier and much more common to be miserable. We could just live our normal, day to day lives, saving all the good living up for someday, but I like to think it’s our job to live each day like it is a special occasion. Because we have been given a gift” ~ Shaune Niequist (reel from Dancing with the Seasons.)

When we think of rebellion, we often picture those who defy rules, challenge authority, or push against established norms and traditions. Figures such as Joan of Arc, Martin Luther, Galileo, Mahatma Gandhi, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr., Harriet Tubman, Nelson Mandela, Sitting Bull, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Alexander Hamilton come to mind. And in today’s world—His Holiness the Dalai Lama, Pope Leo, and Harry Connick Jr., who will sing at Carnegie Hall on May 22, 2026, on what would have been his mother’s 100th birthday.

On the Today Show on May 11, Harry Connick Jr. shared his inspiring story, calling himself “the luckiest guy in the world.” When Connick was ten years old, his mother was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. She once said she could die happy if her son could play at Carnegie Hall. He has now fulfilled her wish, writing and performing a symphony in her honor. His book, Babe: Elaboratio: A Tribute to My Mother, will be released this September, along with a documentary telling the story of her life.

Kudos to these visionaries—and to all who act with similar conviction.
