Bay Area Yoga Teachers/Jois in the U

[Guest guest]

John Berlinsky is worth the trip to Mill

Valley.<br><br>Just avoid the criminals and profiteers at It's Yoga.

They have no idea what they are doing and since you

are starting intermediate, they won't be able to

teach you because they can't even do primary

themselves.<br><br>SPW

I wish I could recommend someone to study with in

the Bay area. True, Rolf was there, but he's gone

now, and so goes the only really good astanga

instructor in the Bay Area IMO (that I've encountered

anyway). True, there are many "astanga" classes, but most

every one you'll find is McYoga, modified, squeezed

into a 1 1/2 hour tops session kind of stuff. Not bad

if you're an absolute beginner, but it ain't the

real deal.<br><br>I took one class with Tim Thompson.

I don't recommend his classes. He doesn't teach

astanga yoga.<br><br>The last rumor of Guruji visiting

the States . . . hey, we all have our secrets! I'm

not about to spoil a good scene in my area if it so

happens that the rumor (the plans actually) turns into

fact.

I had forgotten John Berlinsky.<br><br>I took a class with him many years ago .

.. . I suppose I'd recommend him over the other Bay Area teachers.
