Last Dance, last led intermediate of the season. What a beautiful time spending it in Mysore at SYC and with all the wonderful practitioners from around the world. Thank you for sharing Sharathji’s teaching and keeping his legacy alive 🌎💙 #ashtanga #dance #yoga #happy #joy
I rarely took photos of my Guru. I always felt uneasy. Like if I was invading his space. Though he was so welcome with everyone who did. But boy how I wish I had. I did take this photo on the Yatra, a magical time at the Kalimath temple. The energy was joyous and unreal, as if it was bouncing and flowing through the air. Sharathji seemed so happy. He was walking around and then suddenly sat down to mediated. My friend @leslie_hendry and I ended up sitting down as well. When he was finished he came over to us and placed his hand on our foreheads. Saying we are blessed and he walked away leaving us speechless. Thanks for the reminder Leslie on his words. #ashtanga #yoga #ashtangayoga #spiritual #mediate
Led intermediate class to Sharathji’s count. This video was from his on line class June 2022. Today in the Shala in Mysore we held the transition out of supta vajrasana in the same manner. Listening to his voice even to a recording from the past, he still feels so present with us today. He had that gift that few very have. To inspire us to be are very best. Dear teacher, we are still trying to do our very best. #guru #teacher #yogateacher #ashtanga #mysore

Your yoga practice isn’t a task. It’s a ritual. A task answers: What do I need to get done? A ritual answers: How do I want to experience or honor this moment? #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #yoga #yogapractice #yogalesson #yogatime #yogastudent #yogateacher #yogaguru #yogawisdom #wisdom #guru #mysore #mysorestyle #ritual #spiritual #meditation

I was recently asked some of my greatest gift from teaching yoga. This group of Ashtanga practitioners and the support they share on and off the mat is definitely at the top of the list. #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #yoga #yogapractice #yogalesson #yogatime #yogastudent #yogateacher #yogawisdom #wisdom #mysore #mysorestyle #yogacommunity #yogafriends
Something’s do get better with age. Baby Todd in his early thirties to the second video of my first backdrops at 54. This isn’t a video progression of how “deep” of a backbend I can do as they are about the same. Instead it shows the integration of yoga. Decades of practices. I’ve gained so much knowledge of what I do and don’t need to do through Ashtanga yoga I still have so much I can work on. Not turning my feet out so much or having to shift my hips so far forward and I gladly invite that work in. But what is most important I feel no pain. I know these things are temporary and the body always is in a state of change but I look forward to the many more years of practice and cultivating more understanding within. #ashtangayoga #ashtanga #yoga #fitoverfifty #integration #undrestsing #yogateacher #growing #backbend #heartopener #stronglegs #jnana #meditation #focus #joy #happiness
I honestly never thought I’d be ticking and tocking again. Slowly building up the back bending sequence, one viparita chakrasana at a time. I leaned into all my issues, both mentally and physically. I had to listen closely to it all. Leaning in is where the healing can begin @larugayoga 💫 #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #yoga #mysore #mysorestyle #mysorepractice #yogaposes #yogapractice #handstand #backbend #urdvadhanurasana #healing

From the wise words of Sharathji “once you do a pose it yours”❤️🩹 #ashtanga #Ashtanga yoga #yoga #yogapractice #yogalesson #yogatime #yogastudent #yogateacher #yogaguru #yogawisdom #wisdom #guru #mysore #mysorestyle #wisewords #armbalances #pinchamayurasana
Here’s a tip to work on jump backs. I tell my students it’s actually throw forward. You have it shift it forward to jump it backwards. I see many trying to lift up and to get the feet back immediately. Instead, try coming into navasana position, inhale lift up, as you draw the knees inward, tip the sit bones forward and the feet upward. Then exhale, move the head and shoulders toward the front of the mat in order to get the feet to move back. Give it a whirl 😅💦 Btw sorry for the poor lighting, decided right in the middle of my practice to make this video 😁 #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #vinyasa #jumpback #corestrength #compression #yoga #yogatransitions #yogatransformation #yogadrill #strength #strengthtraining #strength #workout #mindstrong #mindsets #mindovermatter
Sharathji’s teachings were clear and uncomplicated. Never long winded, unlike my rambling here. It didn’t matter if there were 12 students or 100 students in a room. He only adjusted what was most important for the student. I wasn’t very emotional when filming this. I felt lighthearted about this memory but writing this caption it hit me hard how he always there for his students, always about his students. We miss you deeply dear teacher. Thank you for all the sweet moments of laughter and learning 🙏🫶. #ashtanga #ashtanga #yoga #yogapractice #yogalesson #yogatime #yogastudent #yogateacher #yogaguru #yogawisdom #wisdom #guru #mysore #mysorestyle #memories #missingyou❤️
Yoga is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get. But you won’t know unless you show up for yourself. I woke up feeling dull, hazy and fuzzy in my mind But I knew I had to stroke the fire that was burning inside. Building tapas to direct the prana, with a focus on feeling, not thinking. Not really attached to much more than that. It was the usually suspects that were a bit rough but I ended up banging out almost two series and haven’t sweated like that in years. It was raining down on me 😅💦 Tune into yourself. Listen to the vibe inside. Somedays it can be sun salutations, standing poses, half a series, or even one or two. Just keep showing up for yourself. It’s doesn’t have to be perfect, it just has to be practice 🔥🔥🔥🔥 #ashtanga #Ashtanga yoga #yoga #yogapractice #yogalesson #yogatime #yogastudent #yogateacher #yogaguru #yogawisdom #wisdom #guru #mysore #mysorestyle #tapas #tristana #practicenotperfection #sweatitout #workout #mindsetmatters
When Sharathji took over the reins of the shala after the passing of his grandfather, he had a vision for the future of Ashtanga yoga that would support the students and teachers for years to come. This video I chat about a few pivotal changes and events that happened in 2010 💫💫 #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #yoga #yogapractice #yogalesson #yogatime #yogastudent #yogateacher #yogaguru #yogawisdom #wisdom #guru #mysore #mysorestyle
Why I haven’t quit Ashtanga yoga. Like I’ve said before, for whatever sorrow I may have had a long my journey this practice has given me way more joy than I could have ever asked for svasti prajābhyaḥ paripālayantāṁ nyāyena mārgeṇa mahīṁ mahīśāḥ | gobrāmaṇebhyaḥ śubhamastu nityaṁ lokāḥ samastāḥ sukhino bhavantu || ōṃ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ śāntiḥ ☮️🕉️💜 photo @ifilmyoga #ashtangayoga #yoga #yogapractice #yogalesson #yogatime #yogastudent #yogateacher #yogaguru #yogawisdom #wisdom #guru #mysore #mysorestyle #keeppracticing #ashtangapractice #yogaphotography #primaryseries #ashtanga #joy #happiness #grateful
When I was a newer yoga teacher Sharathji taught me the most basic and important lesson. Stating obvious, but I was young and insecure. The way he said it pierced through my heart and has stuck with me ever since 💘 #ashtanga #Ashtanga yoga #yoga #yogapractice #yogalesson #yogatime #yogastudent #yogateacher #yogaguru #yogawisdom #wisdom #guru #mysore #mysorestyle
