4. Update on Shakti Sharanam, Crestone, Colorado
Thanks to the generous support from the Ashtanga community, Annie Pace's Shakti Sharanam—a sustainably built yoga shala—in Crestone, Colorado is nearing completion! Since the last update (see the May 2007 newsletter) enough donations and personal loans have come in to keep Shakti Sharanam out of danger of aborting! More is still needed—approximately $10,000—by mid-July to complete the project properly. Annie would like to send a huge Thank You to those who have already assisted to manifest this vision! For more information and photos of the project, please visit Annie's website: http://www.anniepace.com If you are interested in contributing or if you have any creative fundraising ideas, please contact Annie at P.O. Box 1125, Crestone, CO 81131, (719) 256-5668.

1. Outtakes: The Yoga Portfolio - "Spiritual Stretching" on vanityfair.com: This slideshow has a nice photo of "Sri K. Pattabhi Jois: guru, Ashtanga yoga. Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, 91, has been described as "fierce and compassionate" and "strict and loving" by his students, but it's this kind of dichotomy that makes the teacher of Ashtanga so revered. Jois, who has been teaching for 70 years, started with a studio, or shala, in Mysore (Mysooru), India, that held only 15 students, and is now used to teaching groups that can number in the hundreds. He leads his students through a series of asanas that flow one into the next, synchronizing with the breath, and getting gradually more difficult, with the goal of producing an intense internal heat that detoxifies the body. Photographed at Sanskrit College in Mysore, India." - photographs by Michael O'Neill | VF.COM May 2, 2007
