6 Mueller Living • November 2017 November 2017 • Mueller Living 7 it’s the note f r o m t h e p u b l i s h e r

During the months of September and October, I had the privilege to travel to the other side of the world, throughout China, Hong Kong and Japan. One of the greatest gifts I received through that experience was a huge expansion in perspec- tive. I was afforded the opportunity to live among another culture of over a billion people who practice much of their daily lives in the complete opposite way we do. I got to see through a different lens what people on the other side of the planet consider valuable and in so doing, I rediscovered for myself what was significant in terms of a well-lived life. My appreciation has deepened for even the simplest of things we enjoy so freely here. In the process, I also got to discover some of the universal values we in the human family seem to collectively share. Let Us Community is a highly valued part of the culture in Asia. I had the unique experience of observing community while essentially being removed and isolated from my own community over 8,000 miles INTRODUCE away. From this experience, I grew in my appreciation for commu- nity and all that we are fortunate to enjoy at home, but even more so here in Mueller.

Because the prac- tice of yoga is not just physical, but a spiritual/energetic practice, I believe it is important to cultivate that energy in myself before transmitting to others. Waking at these hours means foregoing late nights and winding down early. The practice, however, has transformed our lives. The sacrifices we have made to run the Shala and share with our community are well worth it.

Carli: What is the difference between Ashtanga and other forms of yoga?

Priya: Ashtanga Yoga follows a fixed sequence of postures. It is a dynamic practice that synchronizes breath and movement to produce an internal heat that dispels toxins and purifies the body. The method was founded by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois of Mysore, India. As he began to teach westerners from his home, the teachings slowly began to spread.

Commonly, students unfamiliar with the practice find the pace and postures to be challenging—they leave with a feeling that the practice is not for them. I would encourage those who have had such an experience to try again in a Mysore setting where there is individualized instruction on a one-to-one basis. Everyone gets to experience what the pace of the practice should ultimately be like.

Carli: Do your students have to buy a membership to the class?

Priya: Yes. Students enroll in our Mysore program on a monthly basis. I encour- age those with uncertainties to observe a class. I invest myself in my students’ practices, as do my assistant teachers, and I expect students to do the same. Being entrusted to guide students, I also feel that I must protect the energy of the ashtanga yoga space so that students feel safe in this environment. We don’t offer “drop-ins” because consistency is important. I require a practice commitment of 3+ times per week. All this helps to cultivate a positive, steady energy in our Shala, which I feel is very important to developing a spiritual practice, or sadhana. “We live our yoga in the way we speak, the way we interact with oth- “Yoga is something that gives us energy and vital- ers, the way we care for our environment, in what we choose to eat, ity.
