Ashtanga yoga classes in SF or Berkeley

[Guest guest]

Hi! I'm going back to San Francisco for a

week-long visit(I used to live there) the week of 4/25 -

5/2, and wanted to know of any beginner's Ashtanga

classes in SF or Berkeley (I'll be staying in Berkeley

for part of that time). Thanks for any reply. I've

enjoyed this club - I read posts daily, and am

encouraged, as I practice alone. A word to those with knee

problems; really don't push it, or you will regret it. In

my personal experience and practice, at this point

humble because I've only been at this less than a year

and a half, a huge part of this form of yoga is

really paying attention to whatever is going on for you

that day, and it can sure vary! All the way from

energy level to how pliable you are on a given day. And

in that paying attention, the trick is to

distinguish between a healthy challenge and pushing into

injury/aggravation of an existing problem.
