Kate Taylor's Yoga Site

I realized this morning that not only have I not been blogging but that I have not talked much about the Savannah Ashtanga "scene." We have a small but growing community of Ashtanga practitioners in Savannah. I know of about five dedicated students who attend classes regularly and get together outside of formal classes to practice Mysore style. One of the ahstangis has set up a new website to get the word out about Ashtanga in Savannah. Kudos to Dare for doing this!

Lisa Seago currently leads the Ashtanga classes at SYC each week and provides a much needed leadership in evolving our individual practices. She teaches a popular all-level evening class to a large group of students. She has also been teaching at 6:30 am on Tuesdays and Fridays. Unfortunately, attendance is low in the morning classes, so we may not have access to this opportunity unless we can get more folks interested. Those of us who do attend in the morning owe thanks to Lisa for showing up and leading us through the primary series even when there are only 1 or 2 of us there! This is truly seva (selfless service) since she does not charge other teachers (i.e. me) and gets paid a small amount per head, for the other students who do show up.

The good news is that the "regulars" are talking about ways to build up awareness and get some more Mysore classes going around town. Stay tuned for more info as these thoughts and discussions evolve.
