APRIL POTLUCK; MAY-JUNE SUTRA GROUP

I have somehow talked Ghretta, Rick and Macy into hosting a potluck next Sunday, April 10, from noon-3 p.m.

If you're reading this, you're invited!

(Yes, even you. And you. But not you!)

Little do the Hynd-Frye clan suspect the hordes of unruly Yoga hooligans, reeking of patchouli and bearing raw sprouted mung-bean casseroles, preparing to descend on their new home.

You know, once in my life before I die, I'm going to attend a Yoga party with a barbecue pit, a keg, and a few pitchers of margaritas.

I guess it's a short step from ribs, beer and Patanjali to Ultimate Fighting on the TV, a halfpipe in the backyard, and some dude with a pit-bull shooting illegal fireworks off the front porch.

But I digress. The potluck's going to be a wonderful time to turn up the volume of the conversation and deepen our social connections — our Yoga — within our community of Ashtanga Vinyasa practitioners.

Plus Ghretta, Rick and Macy just moved into their new digs, so it's a housewarming party of sorts!

The usual applies: please bring a food item of your choosing.

Significant others as well as children are welcome!

YOGA SUTRA STUDY GROUP

Patanjali's famous treatise on Yoga, the Yoga Sutras, has impacted and informed every style of Yoga practiced today.

In this 5-week course, we'll read and discuss this dense text, and then relate it to our own practice of Yoga.

There's a $20 commitment fee, and I'm asking everyone to track down their own copy of the Yoga Sutras.

Again, there's more info at Portland Ashtanga Yoga.
