Sharath Rangaswamy, grandson of Ashtanga yoga founder Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and heir to the Ashtanga ‘legacy’, is now a proud father of a baby boy! Born on September 24 at 12:47pm in Mysore, India, this new member of the family may very well grow up to be the future focal point of the Ashtanga scene. Many congratulations to Sharath and his partner Shruti!

In other noteworthy Ashtanga news, Sri K. Pattabhi Jois recently announced his upcoming 2008 U.S. tour. You may remember that a new Ashtanga yoga center in Jois’ name was slated to open in Islamorada, Florida this past March, but the center’s opening was postponed due to the fact that Jois was hospitalized with respiratory problems. (You can see our previous post on this incident to refresh your memory.) Fortunately for all of us, Jois has regained most of his health since that time, and he is apparently ready to travel out west with the fam. Just days ago he announced the re-scheduled opening of his new yoga center in Florida, this time for March of 2008, a year after the originally-scheduled event. A grand opening party will take place on March 14, followed by a two-week Ashtanga workshop with Pattabji Jois, Sharath, and Jois’ daughter Saraswati. All Ashtanga students are invited! This will be the family’s only U.S. appearance in 2008. For more information, visit www.ayri.org.
