community which for some reason has missed the Ashtanga boat. They've got

Iyengar, Shanti, etc., but no real deal Ashtanga. I've been practicing solo (I

can't really be the only one on the Coast, can I?) here for almost three years

and am constantly asked by friends about Ashtanga, so interest and potential

students are here and waiting for YOU. Travelling teachers interested in giving

workshops welcome as well. I'll do whatever I can to help you get going. Drop me
