Thank you for keeping the tradition alive. I’m very sorry to hear about the passing of Sharath. Thinking of you and the whole Ashtanga community today

All of this is not unique to just ashtanga... it's all under Hatha from which ashtanga was born. I also sadly rarely take class with ashtanga teachers who even mention things from the other limbs of yoga, or any of the spirituality/esoteric aspects of yoga. I am not saying none of them do, but I am saying many with whom I've taken class with did not have as much knowledge as my teacher in the Hatha "lineage."

Thank you so much for your knowledge and wisdom. May you be happy and peaceful!

You have been one of my inspirations on my yoga journey.

Yoga helps us understand the ultimate truth, but unfortunately, many people today see it as merely a shortcut to curing diseases or directly addressing mental health issues. They often overlook the deeper aspects of yoga, showing little interest in exploring the other limbs beyond asanas, pranayama, and dhyana.

Kino you are a great inspiration. I am finding that now I am in my 40's my flexibility is slowing down. I find i become tight even after regular asana practice and cant even get into poses like king pigeon anymore like I used to 10 years ago. Is this normal or part of the body becoming stiff at certain stages of life, at least for some of us? Would be good to know. i dont know whats happening to my body right now.
