Mysore style Classes

Building a legacy usually forms from a humble yet steady foundation. And this, is what Sharath Jois certainly formed during the life he shared with us in his mortal body. For those of you who haven't received the news, Sharath Jois passed away on November 12th in the United States whilst on a hike with students. 

This news shook the very foundations of my being. To myself, Sharathji was my teacher, my Guru, a guiding light that believed in myself more than anyone else that I had encountered in this lifetime. Sharathji had a beautiful way of seeing each person, each student for who they are not who they think they are or what they can or can't do. Sharathji saw you. Even when you think he didn't, when your ego would take over with doubt and ignorance, he was still watching you, you just didn't realise it at the time until in a moment he would catch you out. 'Where were you yesterday?' he would ask if you ever missed a class. Sharathji wasn't a perfect person, yet who is? We are all human beings no matter who we are yet he saw the light in all of us encouraging it to shine particularly when we were in ignorance or the dark. ​​

Private Class

The love I felt from your teachings will always remain within my heart. In the scriptures, it mentions somewhere - I can't exactly recall at this moment - that a divine or great teacher holds all beings in their heart, so, if you hold your teacher or guru in your heart then you'll have all beings placed within your heart too. And, this Sharathji, is where you'll remain. In my heart, always....... 

So. The path forward is not known, it is never known yet I will be taking a hiatus from teaching for a while. I'm not sure of how long. Possibly two months, six months, a year, two years. Who knows? Time will tell. I will still be available for private classes on Fridays only. And this will be it for now until Vishnu spins his disc and the space appears to conduct and share the teachings that Sharathji, Peterji and Karyn have shared with myself. Until then, I will take the space and time to grieve. 

With loving wishes,
