Dear friends,
In June and July Katherine Hadijski interned with the Interfaith Encounter Association, as part of her studies at George Mason University. Upon completion of her internship she wrote the following account of her reflections on her experience, as someone from the outside who was able to see the inside for some six week. I am happy to share it with you with the hope it will shed light on another aspect of the Interfaith Encounter Association.
Sept 20 – Oct 9, 2009 – Ongoing Mysore Classes,
In the tradition of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois of Mysore, India
This is the manner in which Ashtanga Yoga is taught in Mysore, India by Sri R. Sharath of the Sri K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute. Students learn the traditional sequence of asanas (postures) on an individual basis, one by one, yet in a group setting. The practice/class remains silent with soft spoken one on one individual instruction. The asanas are taught in a progressive system, where each builds strength and stamina, developing the student for the next asana. This is a very powerful and safe way of learning Ashtanga Yoga. The students then memorize the sequence, which becomes their personal practice.
