A short but sweet visit w Anne Finstad and the lovely yogis at Bay Areq Ashtanga Collective. I love this image on the tote bag because it shows everyone’s individuality in unison. A perfect visualization of the goals of yoga. Another highlight was seeing Fabio, one of our most dedicated students from Pure/Equinox who has moved there, linking the east and west coast. And Santa Cruz!

I read Autobiography of a Yogi as part of my yearlong Jivamukti training in 1999…it’s very inspiring and I highly recommend it!

I went to the SRF mediation at the San Diego Temple and it was very sweet and interesting to see how they adapted the teachings to a western mindset while still retaining their essence. At the center of the altar were both Jesus and Krishna. I read Autobiography of a Yogi as part of my yearlong Jivamukti training in 1999…it’s very inspiring and I highly recommend it!

Paramahansa Yogananda arrived in the U.S. over 100 yrs ago. Ten years later the Self Realization Fellowship was established in Encinitas, CA. Now they have a crossing over Hwy 101 for Swamis. 🙃.

I thoroughly enjoyed Sharath’s Led Primary class at the Police Athletic League in Harlem today. Congrats to Michael Guiou and crew for pulling of this great event! This is the bobble head version of me and Sharath!

Really enjoyed co-teaching the workshop at Pure/Equinox w Jamie Bonelli and Evan Perry…we make a great team! I hope everyone learned something, and that we can do it again in Jan! Our chai and chat reminded me of the great sense of community amongst ashtangis in Mysore. Post practice upma was my go to…I can even do it here on the UWS!
