$1500 for a year of Mysore and guided classes (think a fairly robust schedule). Logan/Shaw. Showers and all that jazz. 6 days/week. Do I have 10 people interested?

Up Sunday:
9am: 30 minute session on Balance Gyms Facebook page.
10am: Mysore style ASHTANGA yoga tomorrow with DC Ashtanga on Zoom!

You asked for it— and here it is.

A weekly Led Primary, and weekly evening mysore! Get em while they’re hot-hot-hot!

Putting the finishing touches on an Ashtanga Practice Intensive-- a deep dive into the history, philosophy, pedagogy. In-person, on-line, and for those interested, includes Mysore. Right around 300 hours, but really, a whole lifetime of study.

On June 11 & 12th, from 6-7PM, I’m doing an intro to Mysore.

Folks are welcome to come to one or both— $35 for both.

Both are encouraged, but one is great. Includes a discounted Mysore membership, too. Interested? LMK.

One of my dearest friends and trusted counsel. Who got my teaching in the Mysore room for the first time!? This woman. Well worth your time (and she has killer online content, too!)

It's been some time since this Christmas in Mysore. Hearts and minds connected through time and space.

My day, everyday (give or take), by the numbers:
3-3 1/2 hours in the Mysore room teaching
1-3 Hours Asana Focused Meditation & Pranayama
1-2 hours lifting, physical therapeutics, and internal research
2-3 paid corporate or group fitness classes 1/hr + commute & post class convo
1 Hour Mentoring
1 Hour Skill Development (singing, reading, business, personal development/self-help)
1 Hour bullshitting on the phone with a close friend (we'll call this my lunch break, and should count)

Are you interested in practicing in community with other LGBTQ folks and their allies? I am-- thats why I'll be teaching a session this summer! Stonewall Yoga is all about inclusivitiy, good vibes, and community.

Today and tomorrow, use offer code LASTMINUTE and take $10 off (you know how we mysore folks are, just showing up whenever).

Mysore at Kali: Tuesday & Thursday 11-1. Open practice 9-11. Interested? Inbox me!

I'd like to make mysore style yoga practice more accessible for those that can't come in the early mornings! I'm looking at expanding hours-- vote for your choice: https://beta.doodle.com/poll/4acuas8zh7pyi84t

I wonder if mysore from 12-2 would be a hit 🤔

Pranayama tomorrow at 9! Bandhas at 10! Led Intermediate at 11!

Listen, I'm about to brag about one of my greatest accomplishments: I made a pumpkin soup that floods the memory with scenes from Sri Durga Stand Up.

It perfectly calls to mind their bisibelebath.

Perfect timing. Thinking of you, Mysore Family!

I didn't get in to Mysore for January, but when my teacher asks "who is your teacher" to one of those who have shared space in my Shala, I feel like I'm there, and niyamas take over. Is this "parampara"? Wow. I miss and love my teacher, but just wow. #dotherightthing

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.

Tour of Intermediate at Stroga for the Yoga Co-op. Priced low, totally accessible. For those interested in mysore, this is a great opportunity to interface with me in a chill environment.

DC area Ashtangis... I'm considering a mysore pop-up shop: selling Sharath's book, rugs, hand made bags, meditation pillows, and blessed prayer scrolls. Interest?

Hooray! Certified Ashtanga teacher Dominic Corigliano is returning to Mysore SF. July 20-25. Details:

I continue to inadvertently take a nap from 4 until 9. Then, from 10-1. And now it is 3 and my mysore alarm goes off. #jetlag

Thinking of trying Mysore? Looking to get away? Join Peg Mulqueen and me in Costa Rica March 8-15. http://pegmulqueen.com/about/yoga-and-surf-retreat/

Overheard in Mysore: "Funny that the gays can't keep their legs behind their heads, no?"

If I had known I'd be out of work for October, I'd have gone to Mysore.

All this space & time on my hands! Who wants to learn Ashtanga? Mysore newbies, 2 months for $220. I leave for India on November 29th. Hurry!

Other than the awesome daily mysore with the inimitable Keith Moore, Ashtanga Yoga Studio DC (AYSDC) has a fabulous fall workshop line-up. Aliya, Rex, Tova? Oh, yeah.

I begin teaching Mysore full time in Columbia Heights on September 1st. This will be my final month teaching at Little River Yoga. It has been both a privilege and an honor to serve Ashtanga Mysore Arlington Virginia.

just finished scooping homemade frozen yogurt for a post David Garrigues-taught Mysore snack. Maybe I'll share a bite.

Teaching Schedule:
Saturday: Mysore-Little River Yoga- 8:15-11, Rocket- Flow-2:30-3:45,
Sunday: Led Primary- 9-10:45

Little River Yoga friends. Join Ashtanga Mysore Arlington (Tova!), Stair and me for Led Primary on Sunday. xo.

Me? Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga in classic Mysore style at Little River Yoga. Every morning from 6:30-9 🙂

I miss Mysore, but we're ready to discover Goa. For better or worse, they're different worlds. We can do it.

Tomorrow is my last Mysore practice in the eponymous city. I'll share a bit more soon, I promise.

Scooting through Mysore with boy is equal parts romantic & terrifying. Sounds about right.

No material expectations, just gratitude. Burn it to the ground, and with each ash know God. Bedtime, Christmas Eve. Mysore.

Mysore Thanksgiving was a total treat. To my friends back home, embrace the attitude of gratitude... I know you'll forgive the platitude.

Got questions about Mysore? Join Jen René, Peg Mulqueen, and I at Flow Yoga Center for a little Q&A after practice about mysore style ashtanga practice. 10am.

"what would YOU want to ask? (please post or "like" the questions you have)"

You know I teach Ashtanga, mysore style, at Flow Yoga Center from 6:15am 'till 8:30am. Wednesday-Thursday. Hope to see y'all tomorrow!

In Mysore, all yoga was hot yoga. Get on the Rocket at Flow Yoga Center-- 2:30p.

Hey District Ashtangis! Whats the interest in an afternoon mysore? Tue-Thursday? 4-6? $10 drop ins? Yours truly and Yoga District want to know!

Lakshmish, doing the #ashtanga invocation! Mysore swoon!

Goodnight, Mysore. Don't be sad. We can say goodbye tomorrow.

A slow coffee morning before led primary at the shala. Here's hoping the onslaught of Indian heat has scared up space for me. #mysore

Saturday night: bedtime? 7:30. You know how I do. #mysore

Sweets on Saturday leads to stiffness on Sunday. Never expect one day's work to be the next's. Paleo challenge after the moonday? #mysore

Navigating Mysore City is a daunting task. Fear not, with a copilot like Antonella, I fared well. The haul? A stove-top coffee maker, fisherman's pants, and "gym vests" (aka 4 bright and shiny tank tops) in hand. A warning: I am going to come home dressed like a yogi (I have a custom pair of 3/4 length pants being made). I am not done.

New apartment, new start time, new month. I've never been so excited for February in my whole life. #mysore

Lesson: You can not expect to shirt to end up white if the water starts out brown. #laundry #mysore #santosha #justwearit

A ton of fantastic assists in practice, a wonderful birthday party, and a thoroughly exhausting sanskirt . I'd call that a full day. #mysore

Such a delicious, decadent practice. Making every movement (and flub) part of the beauty of creation, yet not rushing to the end. A freedom that one pointed focus can bring, and grace that should probably be there regardless *yum* #mysore

I broke a tooth today! A trip to vist Dr Judith Pereira in Mysore for a fix and clean! Amazing grand total? 1100 Rupees... $22 dollars. She also said I was the politest American she had ever met and complimented my parents. She said I should be proud of them. Thanks, Mom!

It's 85 here in Mysore. Seeing the driver holding a sign with my name on it was enough to make me want to cry, but the dangerousness of the car ride into town was enough to make me smile big. Best of all? I got to stay at the Southern Star/ Regalis-- exactly as planned. Antonella Accinelli will be pleased I didn't have to sleep outside.

Takin' pleasure in other folks' bravery. You come. #mysore

Funny, I lift by myself and practice in a group-- a change from three months ago. Before you (I) judge my lack of morning mysore practice, I have to remember that Urdhva Dhanurasana is not the only way to feel Kundalini rise-- and that I will miss my weightlifting whilst in mysore.

I bought 2 cartons of k-cups for my bedside coffee maker... Back to the grind with a full box of grinds. #mysore #sleepyyogi

Morning Mysore. I'm craving structure & discipline. 🙂

No one wants a teacher who doesn't practice. Off to Mysore.

has capital bikeshare all figured out. No excuses for no mysore as of the end of this week.

did Mysore away from "home" for the first time. 🙂

too sore for mysore.

hates sleeping "in" till 6am on Fridays-- then realizing it isn't enough time to get to mysore (tenley, not india) and my first class on time.

mysore, ACC class, private client-- check. Up next? IMF, HUD. Then? HAPPY HOUR YOGA!!!!

morning mysore, crossfit WOD, bikbik before bedtime. Mmmmmmmm... delicious.

Want some yoga math? Mysore + Bikram = MeSore. Thanks, Peg Mulqueen, Cassandra Walsh, and Insel Metin.

missing mysore this morning due to tummy ache = lame. feeling better = grand. finding favorite gloves that I believed to be lost = game on.

has the marathon itch again. CrossFit Endurance + Strength Biased WOD + Mysore practice = oh good lord. Anyone have any experiences they can share?

From my twitter (michaeljoelhall): Kept my tears inside during sivasana. A day of gratitude and abundance. An inner bliss. So much love I might rent at the seams. #Mysore

Alarms couldn't keep me, and my arms wouldn't lift me. Every day is different. Lemonjelly in the background ftw, but missed #mysore

put his hands on the mat and did what he was scared to do. 5am Mysore, I'm coming.
