Juliet Pegrum

[Guest guest]

"Juliet Pegrum lives and works in New York, and

continues to give Ashtanga classes there. Every year she

spends several months studying Ashtanga yoga in India

under the Master Shri Pattabhi Jois in Mysore, south

India, who introduced her to the Ashtanga system. She

has taught and demonstrated yoga in Jaipur, India,

and Santiago, Chile. She has also studied Sanskrit

and yoga sutras with eminent professors in

Mysore."<br><br>(Info I found just now on the Amazon UK

site.)<br><br>An authoritative book on Astanga Yoga - written by a

woman! That would be a welcome novelty indeed.

Thanks for the info !<br>Thats why us Europeans

have never heard of her, because she is from New York.

I wonder where she teaches, Jivamukti maybe ?<br>I

look forward to seeing her book but it will have to be

good. John Scotts, David Swensons and Linos books are

unbeatable IMO. Maybe her book will have some other aspects

that these do not. I hope so.<br>Anyone know if

Richard Freeman is bringing out a book ? I heard rumours

about this but have not heard anything recently.

I am sure I will buy her book, as soon as it

comes out in October. Curious though: why should a book

by an American Astanga Yoga teacher from New York

first be published in Britain? (I haven't seen it on

the American Amazon site yet.)

Ashtanga people - including Jivamukti's best teachers -

study at Eddie Stern's yoga shala in Soho. I've seen

Juliet there as well.<br><br>Cheers, DAN
