information??? Thanks!!!!

Hey, I may be moving to indy to work at

Lilly,<br>but likelyhood is low. When likelyhood was high I

looked into the yoga sceen there....... <br><br>Not much

good news on the ashtanga front. No mysore class.

there seemed to be a teacher in Broad Ripple who

teaches a vinyasana class<br><br>I met a wonderful man

who teaches yoga in Indy<br>and up in Carmel who goes

by the name "Yogi Carpenter" I hit the class in

Carmel and it was<br>delightful, but not

vinyasana.<br><br>His email is Yogi Carpenter

<yogaclub><br>And I did notice that he teaches/taught a "power

yoga" type class at a health club.<br><br>There is also

a Himalaya Yoga place also in Broad

Ripple.<br><br>My plan, should work actually take me to Indy, is to

utilize the other people and places for the other seven

limbs and work hard a developing my own astanga asana

practice. <br><br>Should I move there too, perhaps we can

practice<br>together......<br><br>Good luck<br><br>ish

I spoke with Yogi also! This is why I was alarmed

that there was not an Ashtanga following in Indy.

Should you end up working for Lilly please let me know

if you would ever like to practice together. I know

some great teachers here in Cinci that sometimes

travel for classes. I have considered working with them

a few times a month so I can continue evolving into

the postures correctly. Perhaps there are others in

Indy looking to practice Ashtanga also...<br><br>Thank

you for your response!

No problem, glad you have met Yogi. He and I

correspond on an infrequent basis. My move to Indy is

dependent upon wether or not I move to <br>Sweden, can't do

both. Both places don't offer much in the way of

proximal Ashanga schools. There are however yogis all

over. <br><br>My plan for both places is similar to

yours in that I will travel to learn from ashtanga

yogis. <br>However, I belive I will benefit greatly from

self-study and interactions with other sadhaka.<br><br>my

email address are :<br> udonnoddles<br>

ish<br><br>Send me your email address or contact me in a few

months. If I am in Indy I defintely want someone to

practice the Ashtanga series with me.

This may not be exactly on topic, but I am in

somewhat the same delemma. Where can I find ashtanga yoga

groups and practice? I live in Toledo, Ohio and I am a

train ride from Chicago with Michigan just around the

corner so to speak. The nearest groups are Cincy and

Columbus. I would be very interested in feedback about

ashtanga groups in Cincy, Columbus and Chicago. My plan,

after buying up every revelant video I could, was/is to

develop my practice solo and possibly enroll in the

Chicago ashtanga studio of Mielo(?) to hone down the

mistakes that I know I will make from not having an

observer/teacher. There is a Hindu temple here in Toledo where I am

told yoga is practiced there. I do not know about

this, but would be willing to give this one a try since

I am intensely curious about yoga, Indian culture,

food, etc. My thinking is that yoga in the Indian home

must be very much like the American desire for

football, roundball,etc. The point is I am willing to

travel to accomplish this goal. I too expect to move in

a few years or sooner to Virginia and all I know

about that (Hampton Roads) is that there is Hindu

temple in the area. Send me some feedback if you can. My

email is zekes7. By the way, I have gotten

flexible again and I am losing roughly 5lbs/wk.

but from available descriptions, I think you

significantly overestimate the number of Indians that

participate in yoga in modern times. Given the recent rise of

yoga as a form of exercise in the US, it could be that

there may be a larger percentage of the American

population that regularly participates in some form of yoga

than in the Indian population
