Thank you!! I’m already home (since Tuesday) and still trying to recover from jet lag. It’s a LONG flight to LA! LOL

Get in touch next time you are over and will let you know practice times and where breakfast is at.
Have a good journey home

Thank you so much for the invitation to check out AYL, and for breakfast! Next time I’m in London I will certainly make it a point to get over there. Euston is central and I know right where that is. It’s been a pleasure to connect with you, post-Kino! Thank you again…

Hi Shari, AYL is Ashtanga Yoga London, there is a link to it under “Places I like to practice”. Hamish is the only Certified teacher currently in the UK. It is located a minutes walk from Euston Station. On Sundays Anna ( Hamish’s wife) or Louise teach, both are Authorised. After practice there is usually a breakfast gathering, you would be welcome to join us.

The standing up is much harder than the going down, sometimes I can just do it and sometimes I get stuck at the bottom. I need to be in my own undistracted head space to do it.

If you start a blog let me know. The blog is a useful way of recording the information, like from the weekend, while it’s fresh in the memory. It’s also fun to read back and realise how far my practice has come.

What does AYL stand for and is it in London? If so, what part? I do visit London about once a year and it would be nice to find a place at which I could practice whilst on the road.
I found your blog via a link from another blog and now I can’t remember which one, but I really have enjoyed reading about your journey. I’m struggling with standing up from backbends, too, and it’s always nice to know you’re not the only one. I’m considering starting my own yoga blog and if I do, I’ll be sure to tell you if you’re interested. But in the meantime, it was nice to share the Kino afterglow with you! You’re right about trying to hold on to all of that wisdom and figure out a way to translate it all into the everyday.
Take care!

Hi Shari,

Kino is an amazing teacher, I always learn something from her. It’s processing and remembering it in your practice in the days after.

By the time I got to backbends the room was clearing and lots of people were leaving, I need to concentrate to stand up from backbend, when Kino came over to assist I did it.

Practice cards are fine, especially when there are so many people, Kino and Sarai couldn’t get to everyone when they needed assistance. I saw your photo on your website and know you were not a coffee drinker or chatterer!

Triyoga is nice, but expensive, come visit AYL if you want heat and good teachers.

Hi. I just had to comment because I was in Kino’s workshop(s) this past weekend, too. Wasn’t she phenomenal!?!? I feel like I’m still processing the entire experience, but it was wonderful on so many levels.
I wanted to apologize to you because I fear I may have been one of the people that had to walk around your mat to get to the door at the end of Mysore. I did have a Kino practice card, too, because I’m new to the practice but I promise I was NOT drinking coffee or talking at any time in that room!
Thank you for sharing your yoga experiences on your blog. I have enjoyed reading and learning about what you have to offer. Plus I love London! I wish I could practice at TriYoga all the time.
