~ R. Sharath Jois 2011 European Tour | Milano ~

Sharath Jois arrived in Milan on Sunday 11 Sept for the last leg of his 2011 European tour….i had previously missed him in London (August 23-26) as by then i was already in Milano….but luck was on my side!!! He ended up coming here too! For the first time ever in Milano!
He stayed in Milano for a week, from 11-16 September, and held guided Mysore Style classes through the first series every morning (except for Monday 12 – full moon) at the Palestra Murat from 7-9am…he also held seminars on the following days: Sunday 11 at 11am at Palestra Murat, whilst the seminars on Tuesday 13 & Thursday 15 at 5pm were held at the Happy Yoga Dance 2 studio. 

R. Sharath Jois 2011 European Tour | Milano 11-16 September

I can’t begin to describe how excited i was to merely be in the same room and being taken thru the primary series by the grandson of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois – teacher of all Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga students, who unfortunately passed away a few years ago. This is the closest i will be to Guruji and it was an honor.

Hopefully he will be back soon! Thanks Sharath!
I’d also like to thank Elena De Martin from MI. AS. YO. Milano Ashtanga Yoga for organizing the entire event. Thanks for making it happen.

So its been a little while since i’ver written…and there is a good reason for that! Trust me! 
 
Coffee was accidentally spilled on my macbook pro….nice….not. So its currently at the Apple Store getting checked out…once they know the extent of the damage, we’ll be able to decide how to proceed….i miss my laptop so much!
I guess this is a great opportunity to be practicing non-attachment! 🙂
 
The smart urban stage | milano has now come to an end…the event on sunday :: COME SUNDAY :: was a great success…there was tea, fruit, massages were given, yoga was taught, and the sun decided to come out and join us!
 
I would like to thank Mrs. Franca Sacchi & the CENTRO YOGA FRANCA SACCHI for having lent ctyoga 5 of her yoga mats which were used at the smart urban stage event :: COME SUNDAY :: – we could not have done it without you – THANK YOU!

COME SUNDAY  I  Il futuro della città

smart urban stage milano  I  progetto selezionato open source

DOMENICA 11.09.11 ore 14:00 – 22:00  I  www.musicpriority.com

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

solo su invito

In una società che tende ciecamente alla frenesia e alla velocità a tutti i costi, cerchiamo invece di rallentare, di soffermarci sul significato.  Il futuro della città.

Una possibilità di evoluzione per un migliore sviluppo dei rapporti sociali, interpersonali. L’importanza di godersi il proprio tempo libero per la voglia di stare insieme, condividere interessi e passioni comuni pubblicamente attraverso la Musica.

La Musica intesa anche come momento ludico per favorire l’esplorazione, la ricerca, le relazioni. Uno strumento insostituibile di socializzazione, di comunicazione e di crescita, dove sperimentare accoglienza e affettività, tecniche e movimenti, linguaggi e modalità espressive. Un modo per “staccare la spina”, liberare la mente,  alleggerire lo spirito dallo stress accumulato durante la settimana. L’utilizzo della Musica come possibilità di impiegare il “tempo libero in città” fornisce lo stimolo all’aggregazione, un’occasione preziosa di “contatto” come “necessità primaria”.

La Domenica come giorno di riposo per l’essere umano, una pausa,  distensione dei sensi, momento per le relazioni sociali di intimo svago e spontanea ritualità.

I’ve been working on translating my English flier into Italian so that i can get 2,500 printed – one side in italian, the other in english…which i think is best seeing that i am living in Italy 🙂
 
I must thank some friends who have helped, without you guys i could not have translated all of the text – i needed your expertise w/ the italian lingo…Karim Bruneo, Mr. Jack, Vera Karin Tomatis and Andrea Rustico….thanks guys! i owe you big time x
 
So u must be wondering what do these look like right? ‘Ere you go!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
So now, both of these are with the flier printing company, Flyeralarm.it – fingers crossed they will get to me by Friday!
 
There is ONE other thing i am extremely excited about!….i will tell you but in due time 😉
