Hello Friends,

What a month! Today we completed a marathon of construction, renovation, and repainting of the temple premises. Lots of unseen details as well! For the entire month, Charlie Miller, who has built our temples and all other construction projects since 2004, would set up on Sunday evening, and we'd hit it hard till Thursday afternoon, creating mountains of saw dust. Some days Charlie was at it till 2 or 3am. Thursday afternoon we would start to clean feverishly with the help of Connor, Ricardo, and Shruti. Then, Thursday evening Sai Baba and Shiva puja, and my classes would run Friday thru Sunday. Sunday evening, we'd start again. It's been seven-days a week since the start of the month, and we finished everything on our to-do list (including building the new library), and on time. Jai Ganesha! Jai Sai Natha! 

This Week: we have the One Hour Ashtanga class at 9:30am Friday, and then I am taking the weekend off. We start again on Tuesday, September 5th. Don however will hold his Sivananda Yoga classes over the weekend. 

Starting Next Week: Here's what's what for the September schedule - lots of additions and a couple of significant changes.

Mysore program Monday thru Thursday 7am-10:30am (Thursday 7:50)

Pranayama Level 1 with Preparatory Asanas Thursday 7am-7:50am 

Pranayama Level 2 with Preparatory Asanas Friday 7am-7:50am 

Led Primary Friday 8am 

One Hour Ashtanga Friday 9:35am 

Yoga Asana Sangraha Saturday 8:30am 

Pranayama, Primary, & Intermediate Sunday 8:30am 

Led Intermediate Saturday 10am 

Sivananda Yoga with Don will meet Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 10:45, Saturday at 12:15pm. 

Paloma will be teaching the Mysore program until the December break, and I will be teaching all of the led and pranayama classes. I will not be teaching any Mysore this fall. 

We will have a new pricing structure as well, which can be found here

Briefly, we have reduced the Mysore package and added a led-class-only package for those who only attend led classes. These both start at $200 per month. For those who would like to attend pranayama, led, and Mysore, we have a special package for that, too. 

—The Mysore package includes M-Th Mysore, plus one led class Friday of your choice. 

—All led and pranayama classes can be still be purchased as single classes (and single Mysore for out-of-town students). 

—Mysore intro week is $100. 

That's all for now! Look forward to see you all back in class next week!

Yours,

Eddie
