On the Move!

Ashtanga Palo Alto is moving to its new location at: 3189 Middlefield Rd, Palo Alto CA from Tuesday June 1 onwards (behind Philz Coffee and Century City store). All classes on the schedule (including semi privates) will now take place at this address.

We plan to have an opening party once all bits and pieces are in place

See you all on the mat,

Namaste,

Adarsh and Heleen

Moon Day

Please note we are "moving" the moon day to Friday May 28. No classes that day.

Moon Day Friday

Hi there,

We will observe the New Moon on Friday. Both Morning & Evening Mysore classes will be closed on that day.

Shala update: The contractor has finished with the big construction projects which moves us onto the painting stage...Those interested in joining in the Karma Yoga this Friday & Saturday, please let me know when you are available and what skills you would like to offer. Areas of need (that I know of) are painting prep on Friday, painting on Saturday and child care on both days.

The news is good and the new studio is almost finished. Of course, these things always take a little longer than anticipated, but we should definitely be in the new space soon. I'll keep you updated.

Hope to see you "on the mat" tomorrow!

Namaste,

adarsh

Big News

Namaste Everyone,

First the small news: Wednesday April 28 is the Full Moon Day. Mysore Class will be closed that day. However, the Semi Private class at my home studio is on for that day at 10am. If you would like to attend please let me know!

And now the Big News! As many of you already know, Ashtanga Palo Alto is soon moving to it's own purpose built Shala! We are so pleased to share yoga with you in a dedicated space. We feel the energy is going to be even more focused in the beautiful new space. I look forward to sharing more details in the near future. As for now, the new space is in Midtown Palo Alto behind Philz Coffee at 3191 Middlefield Ave (at Loma Verde) about 2 miles from our current location. map

We are hoping to finish with build out and painting in the next couple of weeks and open classes by mid to late May. If you would like to pitch in, please let us know!

Thank you all for your support and ongoing practice of yoga!

Schedule April 5-12

During the week of April 5-12, while Adarsh is teaching in Taipei, Heleen will be teaching all of the classes at the Shala. So she can juggle practicing, teaching, and being mamma, we will slightly adjust the schedule as follows:

Monday April 5 Evening ONLY Mysore class is cancelled

Friday April 9 Evening ONLY Mysore class is cancelled

Monday April 12 Evening ONLY Mysore class is cancelled

All Morning Mysore & Tuesday/ Thursday Evening Mysore classes will continue as normal.

Thank you for your understanding!

Special Class

By popular demand. Next Friday, April 2, I will offer a Led Primary Series class for both the morning and evening classes. Classes will be 6:45-8:15 am & 5:30-7pm. Please observe that these classes will begin promptly with the Opening Chant

Arrive early, not late : )

Note: This class is very helpful in learning the precise vinyasa method for the Ashtanga Primary Series. I would encourage all levels (even new students) to attend. If you have not yet learned the entire series, you will simply "stop" at the last posture you have learned and take rest.

Okay, feel free to write with questions, etc.

Thank you very much!

Next Moon Day (and other news)

Dear fellow yogis,

1.) The next Moon Day is this Sunday Feb.28. Instead of Mysore class, we are planning a special workshop on "How to Open the Hamstrings" from 9am - noon. If you are interested, there are a few spots available. Send me an email or register here.

2.) Also, this weekend. I'll be teaching a special Saturday "Enhanced Mysore" class in Monterey from 9:30-11:15 at Ashtanga Monterey in Cannery Row. It sounds like the perfect day of yoga and beach if you would like to join!www.ashtangamonterey.com

3.) We have some other exciting plans brewing. One that I can already let you in on is that Heleen will be teaching the week of April 5-12 while I travel to Taiwan. We look forward to Heleen having a more regular presence in the shala as she is eager to get back into a regular teaching routine. Btw, the studio in Taipei has put together a beautiful web page to promote my workshops there. You can have a look here.

As always, please get in touch with us if you have any questions, suggestions,etc.

All the best and Namaste,

Adarsh & Heleen
