Guest guest Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 well, i've checked the site ashtanga.com and Sharath is holding a workshop in Goa... details below: hope this helps... Sharath Rangaswamy December 10-23, 2005 Goa, India http://www.yogagoa.com Contact: Purple Valley Retreat, 142 Bairo Alto, Assagao, Goa, India Tel: +91 832 2268 364 Email: theresa_appleby Website: www.yogagoa.com Details: Only for those who have previously worked with Guruji or Sharath - a rare opportunity to work closely with Sharath. Sharath Rangaswamy is the grandson of Sri.K. Pattabhi Jois. Like his grandfather, Sharath had an early beginning practising Ashtanga Yoga: he started at the age of 12 and continued to practice until he was 17. He then took two years study leave and gained a diploma in electronics. However Sharath missed his practice and the contact with his grandfather, and so when he was asked to return and assist in the teaching at the busy shala in Mysore, he jumped at the opportunity without hesitation. After five years of teaching, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois promoted Sharath to Assistant Director of the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute, and Guruji is now training and preparing Sharath to eventually take full Directorship. This workshop requires familiarity with the entire Primary Series. Sharath has also requested that participants have worked with him or his grandfather at some time in the past - this can be at one of the workshops on their World Tours, or in Mysore. The course schedule will be for a practice every morning from Sunday to Friday. Some of these will be Led Primary and some will be Mysore style where students can work on their own practice under Sharath's guidance. (Last season the classes were split 50% led and Mysore style.) Please note that there will be no morning practice on Moon Days. There will also be three afternoon "Conference" sessions each week on Sundays, Tuesdays and Thursdays, where students will be free to ask Sharath questions about his teaching, the Ashtanga practice and its evolution, and any other matters. msuriany <no_reply> wrote: does anyone know if i can attend the class for 1 week only with jois? i can only to take time off 1 week, and i really want to deepen my study. if not, would anyone recommend other place/ashram to go for a short course anywhere in india? thks.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Hi Dorion, that's right, I'm referring to R. Alex Medin who teaches Ashtanga at the new Landmark Mandarin Oriental. He took off last week for India because I think he was going to launch their project URBAN YOGA CALENDAR 2006 there. I've not met Jonas yet though. Proven, it is a small world after all!!! cheers, Kelly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
