To all:

[Guest guest]

I've been thinking that I would really like to

know about other people's experiences with

ashtanga--how you came across it, how long you've been doing

it, what other types of yoga you've practiced, what

teachers you've had, mistakes you learned from, miraculous

healing experiences, funny tidbits, and so on. Also I'd

like to know the stretch in both geography and age of

the people who practice ashtanga.<br><br>I know the

forum isn't a great place for everyone to post a

bio--but we all love talking about ourselves, so I thought

we could start a free website where we all write a

brief blurb and share our stories. I am willing to set

it up if enough people send the text and photos to

me via e-mail. I think lots of people--especially

newcomers and those who don't live in an ashtanga

oasis--would appreciate such insite into others'

experiences.<br><br>Is this a corny idea, unreasonable in

scope?<br><br>To Pinchy and others who hated the new Yorker

article: this could be a chance to tell your side of the

Mysore story--anything well written and large in scope

could be sort of like a "feature" story on the site.
