Announcements and Events
1. In Memoriam: Gwendoline Hunt, 1930-2004
Beloved friend and yoga teacher, Gwendoline Hunt died last month in a drowning accident in New Zealand. Gwendoline was an advanced Ashtanga Yoga practitioner in her seventies who taught and inspired countless students. Warm, energetic and light-hearted, she was, above all, generous. She taught retreats in Kovalam, South India with John Scott and, more recently, with Lino Miele and Tina Pizzimenti. Gwendoline also taught extensively at the Ashtanga Yoga Schools in Copenhagen, Denmark and Dublin, Ireland. We will miss her deeply. Thank you to all for helping us remember Gwendoline with your words, photos and visits to her memorial page.

4. Guruji’s Demo, Mysore: 15 October 2004
Sri K. Pattabhi Jois was invited to participate in the Mysore Travel Mart 2004 convention—an event that focused on boosting Mysore's economy through increased tourism, and included speeches by numerous politicians. Guruji's speech was strictly about yoga and given in his native tongue, Kannada. In the tradition of his guru, Sri T. Krishnamacharya, Guruji lectured about yoga's physical, mental and spiritual benefits while his students were conducted through postures from the primary, intermediate and advanced series.
