Pattabhi Jois in Florida

The Ashtanga Yoga Institute is opening a studio in Islamorada, Florida. Guruji will be there for the grand opening party on March 24, followed by a two week workshop. (Word is it will be his only US stop.) Registration is now open at $200/week. No word on the number of spaces available or the size of the center as yet... but sure to be quite the yoga party for those of you that can be down there at the end of March.

And now a few words from the Isalmorada website...
"The average temperature in the Florida Keys for January is 74 degrees. Temperatures in the daytime & nighttime differ only about 10 degrees. In fact, being surrounded on water, the Florida Keys have a very temperate climate. Much more so that the Florida mainland. There is no known record of frost, ice, sleet, or snow. Fog is rare."

""Your worst enemy can not harm you as much as your own thoughts, unguarded." from the Dhammapada"
.... hmmm... guess there's no point in thinking about their perfect weather for those of us living in the dark dark days of late november filled with cold rain and temperatures in the 30s....
