It really depends what part of the Bay Area you

are in. People in this group have some strong

opinions about different places teaching Ashtanga Yoga. In

general two places that come highly recommended are Yoga

Shala in San Francisco and The Yoga Studio in Mill

Valley. A good link to look at

is:<br><br><a href=http://www.ashtanga.com/html/classes.html#norcal

y, I attend the majority of my classes at a studio

some in this group consider run by a Yoga criminal.

However, I did not know of this before

attending -- it is very convenient to work and I enjoy the

people there. Also, my practice that would put some into

a tizzy anyway -- mixing Iyenger, Ashtanga (as

taught at the Ashtanga Institute in Santa Cruz), but the

majority of my practice the primary sequence as described

by Guruji in Yoga Mala as well as in other

books.<br><br>I guess the point is, what is best may depend on

individual factors -- location, etc.<br><br>Namaste,<br>-jim

In SF, Alice Joanou at Ahimsa Yoga and John Robb

at Yoga Shala are both excellent teachers. If you're

in SF I recommend you check them both
