I love the days when the age range in the Shala is from 5-60. I love it when there are not enough fingers on one hand for the different races/ethnicities. I love it when there is a smattering of witches, Christians, Muslims, Jews, Athiests, and dudes who pray to Elephants.
Today was one of those days.
DC ASHTANGA, you're what's up.

Sharath's in NYC during DC Pride. #ashtangayproblems
NOVA friends! Curious about Mysore?
DC Ashtanga-- must love kids & dogs. Really, only two very small rules.
Wonderful archival footage regarding my teacher's teacher's teacher.
Ashtanga, reading, bikram, exploration, biking, Crossfit, singing lessons, meal prep, bike commute, tequila with friends, puppy play dates, drag queens & chill.
This is my teachers' teacher, Pattabhi Jois.
This week marks the seventh year of his passing. He died before I began learning his method.
I wasn't sure what to say to honor him, as he touched so many people directly, and yet for me, indirectly.
I didn't want to appropriate, and yet I am so inspired by his work.
When I saw this image, I knew what it was I wanted to say.
When I die, I hope it is my good humor that is remembered-- just like yours. Thanks, KPJ. I owe you one.

Give Bossji my love when you see him 😉
As far as playtime goes, there's no room for blocks, straps, or mats on the soccer field. Working on keeping my knees together... like a lady. I love it when it gets warm and I get to practice outside. #viparitasalabhasana #menofyoga #gayyoga #yogadudes #YogaEveryDamnDay #boysofyoga #yogaguy #yogaeveryday #ashtanga
My favorite kind of day: my ashtanga practice in the am, chats with dear friends, teaching, napping with the pup, bikram, lifting, and then more friends. It's about perfect.

Anyway. Sodium Cathode Moon Day.
Today, a picture of Rolf (a dear teacher of mine) popped up -- him with many of his dogs on the beach.
Yesterday, there were no pictures of me from David's (my dear teacher here) intensive, but many with Charlie. Rolf doesn't care for having his picture posted.
Today, a student came to me to borrow goggles to practice in. Not so long ago, I learned how to do just that.
Feeling parampara-y (tradition).

Grab a timer. Set it to 2 minutes. Catch kapotasana. Report in here.
Speaking of Kapo-- a truly fine description and perhaps my favorite way to approach.
Of course I practice yoga on the daily. You'll forgive me for not talking about it here more-- it's just the least interesting part of my day. #ashtanga #primaryseries #intermediateseries #advanceda #seventhseries
Somehow, Trina made it into led primary. Whoop whoop.
Are you interested in exploring the stories, shapes, and sensations of the ashtanga's second series? Please join me for one of my favorite classes to share.
Taking a few of the DCA team on a field trip to LRY has me feeling a fuzzy inside-- maybe it's that Dolly and Birtney both have albums out this month. idk idk
I love working on the leg behind the head postures. In fact, I love working on every posture in my practice-- in as many ways as possible. Outside, I have no props, the grounds as uneven as I am, and Charlie might tackle me it any time. After thinking about Derek Ireland's short-shorts, I went into Logan Circle & did my practice. Intending to show off, I ended up with this. Figures. Yoga bloopers.

Please note the Broome Street Temple shirt-- Madonna reppin the Ashtanga!
Kapotasana is not a Pokemon.
Moonday practice.
I'm so excited for my DC Ashtanga tank with a unicorn.
Want a DC Ashtanga t, and can't grab one in person? HMU
Thank you, internal clock. It *is* morning practice time.
Feelin' this pose today. #kukutasana from #ashtanga #yoga #primaryseries -- I'm miming one of my teacher's photos--- sharath picked this for the cover of his book.
Ultimately, I'm looking for role models. In lieu, I'll take cover models 😉 Cock-a-doodle-dooooo!

Considering expanding hours to 9:30 or 10am at DC Ashtanga. Do we know any service industry or yoga folks who have wanted to practice but couldn't?
Start of practice, I'm all like: "I think I'm ready to catch my knees." By triangle, I'm ready to die & questioning all of my life decisions.
C'mon new moon.
C'mon new moon.
Headed to bed thinking about my students across the globe studying with my teachers. Thinking thoughts of thanks to all of my teachers who encouraged me to study with their's. This yogi's heart seams tug.
Quiet morning at the shala-- led primary with a single row. Same faces as as when one full row was a busy day. I love these folks.
Leaving for Goa in less than two weeks. Time with beloved teachers, adventures, and solitude.
I mean, I didn't forget that the Iyengars hit, but I forgot that the Iyengars hit. Thumped, stood on, and opened. Tomorrow, I begin with Rolf.
