Sharath in Copenhagen 2009-Wonderful footage

Wonderful rare clip of Sharath both teaching and talking at  Astanga Yoga Copenhagen . Beautifully filmed -what a treat. Big thank you to Jen's and Susanna for sharing. I believe Sharath will be joining them again this summer-see website for details.

Bountiful, Beautiful, Blissful

Bountiful, beautiful, blissful... A wonderful pregnancy yoga book full of wisdom. I love all the positive affirmations in this book. Gurmukh is very honest and open about her own pregnancy and life experiences, which is always very refreshing. While my prenatal yoga teaching is a bit different from this style (physically), my philosophy and ethos are definitely along these lines. I would highly recommend this book to pregnant women and will use it as a reading book on my own prenatal yoga teacher training.

I have never imposed yoga on my family, but I have to say I love having my daughter in my classes. She has started to have a much deeper understanding of yoga and this understanding is helping her through a very difficult and stressful period of time as she prepares for her degree show at Central Saint Martins in London. I am currently her only yoga teacher but I am hoping she will be able to practice with my own teachers, Nancy Gilgoff and with Sharath Jois when they are in London over the summer. I remember discussing with Nancy many years ago how it felt to see her daughter practising with her. She had said she always loved looking through her legs and seeing Vanessa on a mat beside her. Vanessa now assists her quite often when she is teaching around the world. My daughter and I discuss yoga. All limbs. Not too much because, in a way...
