Connie will lead the chanting and there will be breakfast afterwards. Join us just to chant, or do 8 or 108 sun salutations.

Ashtanga Yoga Intensive: Developing a Personal Practice with Christine Hoare
3 classes Friday and Saturday March 26 & 27. This is a perfect workshop if you want to deepen your ashtanga yoga practice, or if you've been doing another form of yoga and want to explore the ashtanga system. Christine Hoar is back from Vermont by popular demand for the third year in a row. She has just spent a month in Mysore, India, under Pattabhi Jois. Her energy is as infectious as her explanations are clear. Register now.

YiY Hiking Group
On Sunday, March 14, the YiY Hiking Group is going to the Sunol Open Space and planning a 4 mile loop hike. It is described as a moderate hike. We will carpool from YIY parking lot at 10am. Bring your lunch, water and it is time for sunscreen and hats.

Schedule Changes
NEW Thursday noon class, core yoga with Jenny Payne. Jenny has been living and breathing yoga for nine years. She completed her first yoga teacher training at The White Lotus Institute, and her most recent at The Forrest Yoga Circle in Santa Monica. Her hope is that her passion for yoga will be contagious. and spread to all of her students. Core yoga brings students through specific abdominal exercises, breathwork, hip openers and creative movement sequencing. This class is challenging, yet easy on the joints and healing for the back and neck.

Mysore India Blog
This wildly popular online diary comes directly to us from Anne and 3 students who are currently in Mysore studying ashtanga yoga with Pattabhi Jois, the founder of the style. Recent entries include a visit to a Tibetan settlement with lots of photos, a detailed account of the costs of the trip, and the trials and benefits of a 10 day silent meditation retreat.

Thank you from the whole team at YiY!
