A number of yoga practitioners, who also happen to be members of LA Fitness in London where I also teach, have rallied together to bring you Team Yoga Junkies. They are fund raising for the Rain Forest Foundation, a fabulous charity which needs our support.
On the 30th October 2010, Team Yoga Junkies will be challenged to complete 108 Surya Namaskaras (Sun Salutations) in a single session. A Surya Namaskara is an energising and healing sequence of yoga asanas (postures), pranayamas (breathing techniques), mantra and meditation techniques. Completing all 108 Sun Salutations will prove to be both a physical and mental demanding and I hope you can help them to raise a minimum of £648 for completing the Yogathon.

Don’t you just love the view!
I was in New York for about a week, but am now in Chicago preparing for a weekend workshop. Anyhow you maybe interested in know what I got up to in New York, after getting over my mild jet lag and general over excited anxious hysteria in actually being here.
Firstly, stayed with a friend who happened to be out of town, but very conveniently lives on the 17th floor of big corporate looking building in the Financial District.
Guess what we landed gold, with a view to die for… looking out onto Brooklyn Bridge.
Anyways, I managed to check in with a couple of yoga studios in New York, which there are plenty to choose from. I did an Anusara master class at Vira Yoga, Vinyasa Flow at Kula Yoga Project and Flight School with Raghunath – oh my God! handstand vinyasas you have to check this guy out! He does not have a lot on YouTube but I found this. Any how I had so much fun in his class as I really got to work on my handstands in a dynamic and fluid way. I am so checking him out when I get back to New York in a week’s time.
New York sky line with a sparkle
As for our weekend ʻNo Nonsense (aka Nonsense) Acrobatics Intensive, both Tobias and I were so humbled to have taught at Om Factory one of the homes and long established AcroYoga communities in the United States and to be supported by the New York teachers was true honor.
