Mysore Philadelphia

I’m really looking forward to doing some learning (and unlearning) with @wellnesswithwambui and @unlrnprjct starting this Wednesday. It’s 11am for those of us in EST. I hope to see some of you there! - Meg

I sat for an interview about practice while engaging in householder duties a few months back. In I sat for an interview about practice while engaging in householder duties a few months back. In my case we specifically talked about practice during pregnancy, postpartum and during a stage in my life that is largely invested in raising a child, but a householder is anyone who engages with a job, their community, their family and friends. So basically all of us! I hope you find it useful and interesting. Please consider following @seventh_series for more podcasts. #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #mysorepractice #seventhseries #phillyyoga

A few updates about classes, donations and a podcast offering.

Yoga is skill in action and these are very clearly laid out steps to take action against the HHS’s awful interpretation of section 1557 of the ACA. Equal access to healthcare is a human right. #translivesmatter #blacktranslivesmatter

From this point forward donations made for Friday’s Led Primary and Sunday’s self practice will be paid directly to The Philadelphia Bail Fund as requested by the Philadelphia chapter of Black Lives Matter. Suggested donations are still $5-$20 depending on what you can afford, but no one will be turned away for lack of ability to pay. If you need the codes PM me. #blacklivesmatter #whitesilenceisviolence

Important program information related to the Covid-19 shut down.

I always like to chant a little while folks take rest after Led Primary. This morning I had a special guest crawl into my lap. Thanks you to those of you who came to practice and shared this really lovely moment with us. We miss you all. #mysorepractice #mysorephiladelphia #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #phillyyoga #seventhseries #flatteningthecurve #socialdistancing #zoomismakingamint

Been getting up at my usual-ish time (5am instead of 4:30 - woo hoo!) and dragging Maggie immediately outside for bike rides or walks in the woods before too many people are awake and around. I’m practicing at nap time (except for Sundays when there’s virtual Sangha with the shala crew and friends.) It can be hard to practice that late - I’m generally hungry or tired or just plain old over it if there have been multiple tantrums, but it gets done and I’m better for it. For ...me, for now, to truly be practicing yoga I feel I must prioritise my child’s needs in the context of social distancing and that my practice should support me in attending to those duties, not detract from them. There are many ways to use and relate to your practice and an awful lot of opinions flying around the inter webs on the subject. For what it’s worth my two cents is I am trying to roll with it, understand that things are not the way they used to be and that the new normal is a lot easier to be present with if I can just accept that fact. And to just shut out the noise and the nonsense endlessly clattering for my attention and do my practice. Whatever it is. Even when it allows me to see and feel things I might wish weren’t there. To have a practice during times of uncertainty is a gift. Let’s all just do ours. Lots of love, Meghan #ashtangayoga #ashtanga #seventhseries #phillyyoga #socialdistancing #flattenthecurve See more

Don’t forget we are having self practice together at 9. The Zoom link is https://zoom.us/j/807020433 if you need it. #newnormal #ashtangayoga #mysorestyle #phillyyoga

A couple of chances each week to practice together - virtually!

It’s times like these I am so damn grateful for my teachers, who guided me but never tethered me to them. My practice is my own and can be done anywhere and anytime. Still, company is nice and community is a wonderful support. With that in mind I’ll be sending out some info about a weekly led and a weekly group practice (on Sundays) in a day or two for those who are interested. In the meantime do your practice, be well and stay home as much as possible to help #flattenthecurve. Miss you guys! #ashtangayoga #ashtanga #mysorephiladelphia #phillyyoga

A long but necessary (and distinctly not hyped) article to help clarify why we are taking protective measures and closing.

Important program information!

Please take a moment to read if you are currently coming to practice.
