You’ve asked for it, you’ve waited patiently for it and now your day has come – we are thrilled to announce that we will begin offering free weekly Ashtanga classes at the studio starting September 9th. We’re doubly thrilled that Jodi Blumstein will be teaching them.
Jodi has been practicing Ashtanga yoga for 17 years. From 1999 to 2005 she was the director of Priya Yoga – the first Ashtanga/vinyasa yoga school in Chicago. Jodi sees the Ashtanga practice as a highly transformative experience; it is physical exercise to keep the body clean, it is mental exercise to keep the mind sharp, and it is a tool for waking up to who we truly are, beyond name and form. Jodi has the unique ability to work with students of all levels, ages, and physical ability and to guide them towards establishing a consistent, daily practice to improve health on all levels. She encourages students to explore the unknown both on and off the mat and not to take anything too seriously. She has helped thousands of students begin their journey in this practice, and she holds the space for many communities to build thriving Ashtanga yoga programs. Currently, Jodi is living in Los Angeles where she teaches the Mysore program for Yoga Works at the Center for Yoga near Hollywood.
You can connect with Jodi at www.shantishala.net or you can come on down to the YogaGlo studio in September to take classes with her. And for YogaGlo-ers all over the world, you know the drill. After we have several in-studio classes ready to go, they’ll be added to the site so you can practice Ashtanga whenever, wherever.
Check the class schedule for dates. See you in Ashtanga class!
