This one is for the Ashtangis in the room! Ashtanga headquarters in Mysore, India (formerly known as AYRI and currently known as KPJAYI – see our earlier post for deets on the name change) just released their quarterly newsletter. Unfortunately, the newsletter included no juicy details which inquiring minds might like to know, such as the status of the Pattabhi Jois-sponsored Ashtanga center in Connecticut or the current nature of Pattabhi Jois’ health. Instead, the newsletter was mostly just a list of dates: moon days in Mysore (i.e. days the Shala there will be closed) and Sharath’s upcoming tour dates. But for you interested Ashtangis, here’s the full text of the newsletter for ya! (After the jump…)

SHRI K PATTABHI JOIS CHARITABLE TRUST
The KPJ Trust was set up in honor of Guruji’s 90th birthday to improve the lives of economically disadvantaged families and children, undeserved communities and the environment. We see this work as a great opportunity to give back to the local community in Mysore and India in general, and thank all of our supporters.
To learn how you can contribute your time and other resources to worthy charitable causes in Mysore, please visit www.kpjtrust.org or send us an email to info@kpjtrust.org.
REFLECTION
“Students should have faith in their guru and the yoga practice, then only the jnana (knowledge) will flow to us.” – R. Sharath
