Round-up: John Campbell Ashtanga Workshop

Here are some pictures from the three-day workshop a few weeks ago. John is a true scholar and student of yoga, philosophy and Sanskrit, having studied with Sri Pattabhi Jois and received his PhD in Indo-Tibetan Buddhist Tantra from Columbia. Above all, he stressed breath as the focus of the practice - mainly, letting the ujjayi breath flowing continuously without stopping or holding, keeping the mouth closed, and letting there be a moment of pause at the top of the inhale and bottom of the exhale, in which the posture is static. Personally, he awakened my need to practice in the Mysore style. If you were at the workshop and learned anything you'd like to share, please email rebecca@greenhouseholistic.com to submit.
