Closing of Ashtanga Yoga School

We know that change is a part of life, and we knew that change was coming at AYS, and it has. David and Satya have closed the Ashtanga Yoga School in Seattle. I saw on Ashtanga.com that it was for sale - so who knows maybe another authorized or certified teacher will take over - but for the time being their students are moving either over to Troy Lucero's studio, or at 8 Limbs where some of the former senior AYS students will be teaching mysore style classes. For us though we will be seeing David as we normally do - this fall he'll be here the weekend of October 17th - 19th.

Thank you so much David and Satya and the students at AYS who have always inspired me, and helped me stay true to this path toward truth, and love. Below are some of the beautiful quotes from reactions to the closing.

  • Blessing to you all for all that you have done, you have been our inspiration in so many ways. What a ride! It has been wonderful, and we look forward to seeing you soon. "All is coming..."
  • "We live in a rainbow of chaos"
    Paul Cezanne
  • Let us send good thoughts to each other and to our teachers, wherever they may be. I often repeat the little prayer David taught us at Breitenbush one year "May you dwell in your heart, May you be free from suffering, May you be healed and whole, May you be at peace."
