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.

I'm the director of DC Ashtanga, an ashtanga yoga school (often called a mysore program). It's easy to talk about money when you've got it (and especially what it'd be like if ya didn't), but (like always) Ru gets its.
I've spent time this month with @[689010579:2048:Emma O'Neill], who helped sharpen my teeth in Mysore on my first trip. A major teacher for her, like Christine Hoar here, is Nancy Gilgoff.
The first 20 is essential for woman and men who associate with them. The 35 minute mark on sums up my occasional radio silence. The last 8 is for everyone.
"We are meant to be joyful beings. "
So, listen to get perspective on me or listen to get perspective on you.
Big love to @[1076864780:2048:Jen René] and Peg Mulqueen for their efforts here, and to Christine for her candor.

Though I know the depths of pain, anguish, and sadness, I firmly believe in deep and abiding happiness. There is a method, and I've been going at it for some years now. In the morning, at #kaliyogadc, the #dcashtanga community comes together to make shapes with our bodies, tuning in to our relationship with gravity and time -- whilst simultaneously revealing our cravings and aversions. For this focus-challenged guy, it's intense work, but knowing where to look and how to breath makes all the difference. These precious moments of insight combined with the the heat of just staying put create the fire from which happiness arises. #b&wchallenge day 1/4. Thanks @ladyhawkzuzu for tagging me.
Do you want a DC Ashtanga tank? $20! I'm so excited. These oversized American Apparel viscose tanks come in only two sizes (+1 & +2) making it easy to pick and perfect for practice (good bum coverage, so it doesn't ride up in down dog).

Paleo One Pot Poached Egg Abergine (aka: quick paleo baba ganoush)... so good, I had to share! Can be made vegan, and is super versatile for breakfast, snack, or side! http://midcityyoga.com/?p=1357
I think the overhaul at midcityyoga.com is finally done. So pleased with the results!! Looks like I can still make a webpage 🙂
After my big adventures this morning, I treated myself to a massage. Here's what we can learn from the science of massage. Pain, patterns, and Samskaras.

#yoga #offthemat I worked with my friend @[12302900:2048:Bryson] at the DC Improv, me honing my adulthood, him his comedy. Listening to him talk about the discipline of his art form is a reminder that one can find sadhana off a mat. Please eschew your TLDR sensibilities for this one.

In my quest to stream Richard Freeman lectures and videos, I discovered that the DC Public Library streams books and videos. How glad am I to be a member of the Library?!

Lunch with Mama Hall and Papa Hall, Rocket at Embrace Yoga DC for Dinner, Dancing with the wife. Saturday? Morning yoga with Shelby Thompson, day-play with Michael Roike. Sunday? Go back in time.
Am I silly in thinking the Occupy DC stuff is a little off-the-mark by staging something when the Fed is on Holiday?
Have y'all signed up for my mailing list? India's super far, and I wanna stay in touch! I promise, Facebook'll be here when you're done. 😉

Good Ideas, Bad Ideas
Looking to put a cap on the week?
Want to start the weekend off right?
Need to be good before you can go be bad?
Happy Hour Yoga!
Turn Friday’s afternoon toil into weekend bliss in the company of your friends, peers, colleagues, and fellow practitioners!
How does a 3,000sqft roofdeck sound? Consider yourself invited to the place that’s been home to my practice for years: Balance Gym.
Get ready for 90 minutes of prana-pulsing blissed out vinyasa with strong influences from the Ashtanga and Iyengar traditions.
Mid City Yoga was started with the idea that yoga can be done anywhere– boardroom, bedroom, shala, or studio (be it yoga or crossfit). For many folks, the gym setting can be the most unconventional space of all.
Balance is the gym at which I discovered my love for yoga. It’s the place that provided haven and encouragement for me to come to my mat more than once a week. This is the place that gave me my first teaching gig. I love it here, and you will, too!
Okay, enough shmaltz. If my love for the place doesn’t sell you on it, the roofdeck at dusk sure will. The minute it heats up, thats where we’ll be. And in the mean time (or in cases of inclement weather), we have an awesome (indoor) studio at our disposal.
The fine print:
What: Happy Hour Yoga–a vinyasa steeped heavily in Ashtanga with cues and carry-overs from Iyengar
When: Fridays, 5:30-7p– all Spring & Summer Long
Where:

Bakasana on the Water
Ashtanga Inspired Vinyasa
When: March 13th & 20th
Time: 3:30
Ashtanga Yoga Center
4000 Ablemarle Street
Washington, DC, 20016
Join me for a special two week series of ashtanga vinyasa inspired practice. This will be a modified ashtanga sequence for both standing and seated postures with playful exuberance and challenging twists that are at times incredibly familiar and oft-times turned on their head [har har]. Not for first-time students. Standing postures focus on leg strengthening, hip opening and balancing. Students are also introduced to inversions like handstands and forearm stands for the first time.
Ashtanga Yoga Center mission:
One of our goals is to give the student, whether a beginner or advanced a home to practice Ashtanga. It is our intention to keep the teaching of Ashtanga as close to the way we have been taught.
