KG Workshop

Kevin just this past winter received his SENIOR LEVEL IYENGAR CERTIFICATION directly from B.K.S. Iyengar himself. He was at the Iyengar Institute in Pune for all of October and November 2009. This is a rare opportunity to catch 10 hours of teaching, freshly digested from Pune while Kevin is here in the states from his adopted home in Budapest Hungary. This will be the only 2 day workshop he will be teaching in New York. So if you have taken any of his amazing workshops here in the past, or are a regular New York student of Kevin’s, or just heard of him through the Institute this is your chance. SIGN UP AND SAVE YOUR PLACE NOW. It will be sure to sell out. Only 50 students will be allowed in. (more…)

Toe Cramps and Pickle Juice

Filed under: Asana, Misc. Musings — bb @ 8:41 am

Just in case you got one in this week’s classes, here is the latest “science” from the New York Times.

“…Dr. Miller suspects that that mechanism is exhaustion, either directly or through biochemical processes that accompany fatigue.
