Summer, the most glorious season, with lots of sunshine, means good days by the river, tomatoes in the garden, peaches in the farmers' market, and . . . this summer a great opportunity to delve deeper into yoga.
In the fall of 1972 I was teaching high school, living in West Sac, just returned from a trip to Guatemala. I'd heard other travelers talk about some very interesting thing called yoga. Out of pure curiosity I found a series just starting, meeting at the YWCA on 17th and L.
Pure curiosity paid off bonanza-scale. The series lasted two years, during which we got quite a grounding in philosophy and in hatha practice. All these years later I still thank the instructor, Narayan S., who each week drove down the hill from Ananda Cooperative Village in Nevada County.
Since then, yoga has been vital, a constant, a support -- just plain important. I'll get around to some of that history.
But now it's summer of 2015, I've been back living in Sac again for several years -- and I've begun a wonderful yoga course, taught by Michelle Marlahan and staff at the It's All Yoga studio. This blog will reflect learnings and musings during the course.
Putting sunshine on yoga in a season of sunshine!
Looking forward to reading your blog as we travel on this yoga training journey! I also found out about yoga in the early 70's but was not as consistent with it through the years... will be fun to compare stories! See you in class!
