The dreaded first post

Ekam.

That's probably as good a way to start this blog as any. It works, after all, for Ashtanga.

I suppose you might be wondering what this blog's all about, or supposed to be all about.

Well, it's simple. We're hoping to be a one-stop shop for all things related, however loosely, to the March 2012 Ashtanga Yoga Confluence, featuring five of the West's senior students of Shri K. Pattabhi Jois. We're excited about it, and so we want to be able to keep a running tab of things as the date grows closer.

What's that mean?

Well, we'll link to Tim Miller's weekly blog, Tuesdays with Timji. (Warning: Tim's our teacher from this handful.) Eddie Stern also blogs, and Richard Freeman's shala has one, too. We'll share updates on the Confluence as well as anything that strikes our interest, on the theory that if it interests us, it will interest you.

We'll try to have some fun, maybe be serious occasionally and work to keep the enthusiasm high.

And all the while we'll keep our practice going.

Dve.
