I like to have a destination.

I'm thinking about going to this . The last time that I had a yoga "destination," it was San Francisco for a month, and it revved up my home practice, really gave me a "reason" to practice regularly.

There's something about workshops/teachers/programs that are specifically Ashtanga based that is just a whole different frequency. A vinyasa workshop doesn't "get me there" the same way, no matter how super cool it is, and there are plenty of super cool vinyasa workshops, no putdown at all is intended or should be implied.

Yes, I'm obsessed or hardcore or whatever you'd like to call it.

bindifry said...

oh-looks like $675 for a few days. expensive. that's what i'm paying for a whole month in india

patrick said...

hey L, nope, no India for me yet. And actually 675 for is pretty cheap for a week of famous-name Ashtanga in the states. I don't even know for sure that I'll have 675 in the summer...loan debt repayment is on, after all.

yeah, it gets expensive. well i hope you find a way to go anyhow.
hey-do you know david, simi & youngblood roche? they are in san fran at the end of october.
they are really wonderful. i would take that if i wasn't going away.

patrick said...

i only know them by reputation, but it's a good one...hey, sounds like you leave soon for india? when's the departure date?

bindifry said...

i leave dec.5-still got awhile to try to pay for the yoga now that i'm drained from the plane ticket (i guess in that way india can be expensive). still, it's worth it.

Thanks for the heads up about this. I signed up this morning. I'd actually priced tickets to Australia a few weeks ago, because I wanted to practice with MS. So this is a terrific coincidence.

Hey Patrick, I'm glad to find your blog, after seeing your comments on Bindi's blog. I'll visit often. I agree that going to a workshop like that can charge up your practice. I've been having fun with mine after the tune up with last weekend's workshop in SF with Kino MacGreggor and Tim Feldman.
Cheers,
Arturo
