5. I own a yoga studio in Hobe Sound, Florida and am looking for an Ashtanga teacher. I studied at Yogaworks and went to Mysore this summer but because of a car accident I have had to cut back on teaching. Hobe Sound is about 45 minutes north of Palm Beach and located a mile from Jupiter Island. Pay is $40 a class or 50/50 split. Email me at yogaonmars@aol.com.

Workshops right through until April in safe tropical retreat environment with a series of world class teachers, culminating with David Swenson in April. Check out www.yogagoa.com or email annie@yogagoa.com.

8. Be of Service While Practicing in Mysore
The American Society for International Shanti (non-profit 501 (c)(3) pending) is breaking ground on its first project, A Children's Home, in Mysore, India. Headed by yoga students and working closely with Swamiji Jamanagiri, ASIS has a mission to "improve the lives of exploited, at risk, destitute children" as well as the elderly and other in need. For more information, to find out how you can volunteer in Mysore, or to make a donation, go to www.operation-shanti.org.

Ashtanga Yoga Products & Resources
1. Mysore Style Astanga Yoga DVD by Melanie Fawer - In this 2-disk set (4.5 hours total), certified Ashtanga Yoga teacher Melanie Fawer captures the essence of Mysore practice in a 3-hour instruction disk, placing unique emphasis on the layering aspect of how poses are given in the Primary Series the way it is traditionally taught by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois at the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute. Beginners will find Ashtanga Yoga very accessible—and manageable—in this format. Putting it all together, the 1.5 hour led Primary Series disk then provides a good overview for all levels of practitioners and enables students to follow along at a faster pace up to one's current practice level in the series.

Workshops (February/March)
