student and teacher relationship

Here is a teacher who I studied the Ashtanga Vinyasa
method with in Mysore. I took a one week course, originally was going to do a one to three month course, but Momma India picked me up like a child and threw me down like a stone e.g. manic episode, see early enteries.

He is lesser known than Jois, but has been teaching over 40 years the same method. His course is quite intense ranging btwn 2-4 hours of practice 7 days a weej w/ new and full moon days off, also sanskrit and philosophy classes. He attracts mainly Indian students with a few Westerns for a more intimate class. Jois though has a special energy and high energy in his packed shala.

I had the oppurtunity to interiew my teacher on applying yoga to ones life and the internal aspects of Ashtanga. I hope to publish it when I get back to the states. Stay tuned....
