Being up there in age, it’s amazing how supportive these classes have been to my existing ashtanga practice. I can’t believe how much stronger I feel. Thank you Eddie!
I really appreciate this and the last post, Eddie. I feel like you are giving those of us, ahem "seasoned" yogis who started in the ashtanga tradition many years ago, permission to move toward a practice more beneficial to where we are now. I always felt that there is a lot of wisdom embedded in the teachings, methods, structures and sequences of the tradition. One of the benefits I have found is that over the years, that wisdom becomes clearer and has enabled me to adapt, make changes, practice more slowly and treat yoga as an inquiry rather than a constant striving. I'm enjoying my practice again after letting go of habitual ways of doing things and stepping back into the structure when it suits me. There needs to be more of this discussion around practicing as we age. I appreciate you sharing what is working for you. Thank you!

Fantastic article.
Yes there are details on postures, format, and a book list but I get intention from your writings.
It's not only what are we doing but why that you articulate so beautifully.
Thank you
