Tuesday July 7th Moon day, Jump through to sit workshop and a new floor

Beloved Ashtanaga Yoga Community,

Tomorrow, Sunday, Practice as usual 7:30-9:30am

This coming Tuesday July 7th, is moon day. We will not have a morning class, but will have the afternoon class as usual. Since we are getting the floor redone on Tuesday, Practice will be downstairs through the main entrance.
Wednesday morning will most likely be downstairs as well (varnish odor).

Practice the standing poses led style, and then come to sit. We will go through the sitting poses in details including flying: the jump through and jump back. The Bandhas will also be looked at in depth.
This is the second part of our four session series at Nandi Yoga. No need to have done the first one. It is still well worth signing up for the three next ones. More details on my page: www.yoga.doronhanoch.com

For any other info or inquiries, please email me at dh@doronhanoch.com

With gratitude,
Namaste,
Doron

Monday June 22nd Moonday, Ashtanga Summer series

Greetings Dear Yogis,

This coming Monday, June 22nd, is Moon day, so no morning Mysore. Semi private will be held as usual.

Next Sunday, June 28th will be the first session of the Ashtanga Summer Series.
This is a unique opportunity to deepen the practice and gain a rich understanding of the Ashtanga system on many levels. Much more than is possible in a class.

If you are new to the practice or if you have been practicing for years, this workshop will give lots of insight together with a strong practice. All are welcome.

For more details visit www.yoga.doronhanoch.com or email me at dh@doronhanoch.com

Blissful Living,

Moon day, articles, workshops and Summer news

Greetings Yogi friends,

• Sunday June 7th is moon day, so no class.

• Wednesday June 10th, Dharma Share with Doron. We will meet at my place and share teachings and lessons from the “way”. Last share was about Karma (article soon). Next share will be about jealousy. Feel free to share stories or teachings you know of. 5:45-7:pm. Free, bring your favorite snack.

• My time with you has extended! I will be teaching at AYPA through September 15th, Yey!

• Summer is usually a time where practice tends to slip some. The sun, traveling, life… I find it very helpful to decide ahead, how many times a week I will practice, or committing to certain days, just to keep it alive. Yoga, an inward practice, tends to be a great balance to the outwards activities of summer.

• Read the article about Guruji on my blog: http://theartofblissfulliving.blogspot.com/

Guruji passed away, Sunday moon day and Monday memorial day

Guruji passed away today at 2:30pm (Indian Standard Time).

I celebrate all that he has offered us, and am grateful for all that he shares with us beyond his body.
Guruji's teachings shall live on and keep inspiring more students on the path of yoga, of union,
of teacher and student practicing.

I am grateful for the tradition we inherited, and the seeds that have been planted. We can see the flowers booming in many new traditions of yoga.
AS Guruji would say: Practice and all is coming" see you on the mat!

Sunday May is Moon day and we shall rest.
Monday is Memorial day, so no practice either.

I hope to see you all ready for Practice the rest of the week. Tuesday there is both morning and afternoon class, and also on Thursday.

Take good care, rest and hope we get to practice before and after this long weekend.

Namaste,
Doron

Fridays - Led Class

Dear Friends,


Starting This Friday, May 1st, and every Friday thereafter, we will have a led primary starting at 6:50am.

The class is suited for everyone. You can follow the class and modify as needed. You can finish where your practice finishes or explore a bit further.

For those that need to leave early or still want their Mysore practice, it's ok to come and practice at the end of the room. I do encourage everyone to practice the led. There is lots of info shared, an even flow, some more Sanskrit to the ears, and a great group energy feel.

Feel free to email me with questions or concerns: dh@doronhanoch.com

See you on the mat,
Namaste,
Doron

This coming Sunday 4.19 from 1-4pm I will hold a Primary series workshop at Nandi Yoga.

The workshop will explore the underlying building blocks and poses from the Primary Series of Ashtanga Yoga, literally translated as "eight-limbed yoga" and defined by Patanjali in his Yoga Sutras. The workshop will also explore ujjayi (victorious) breath, bandhas (energy locks), drishti (focus), and, of course, the asanas. All levels are welcome.

The investment: $35 is if you pay me by Friday, or $45 at the door.
