Ashtanga Yoga: a Physical & Mental Work-In

I took my first Ashtanga class in my twenties, looking for a good workout, but instead got a “work in”. I walked out feeling like I came home to myself. I felt a deep sense of inner serenity and wisdom and wanted more.

Lucky for me, there was an authorized Ashtanga teacher and a supportive yoga community in my city, so I dedicated myself to regular practice. Making time for yoga hasn’t always been easy, but I return to my yoga mat (and now my meditation cushion) to feel more fully human.

While an interest in physical postures brings many of us to yoga, the long-haulers and I stay for the life lessons: exploring our growth edges with breath and movement, being present with what-is, and living the most peaceful life possible.

Traditional Yoga for Modern Times

Ashtanga Yoga is a traditional system of yoga that links breath with movement. It follows a set sequence of postures and is the foundation of vinyasa-style classes. It was passed down from Krishnamacharya to his students and made famous by the Jois family, who have taught this system in Mysore, India, and worldwide for over 70 years.

My Worst Teaching Fear Came True

by Rachel Drummond | Jan 12, 2021 | Contemplative Physical Practice, Yoga Off the Mat

Every Monday I wake up at 5 AM to teach an online yoga class. My phone sings me awake for my 6-7 AM class with a tone called "sunny" that brings me to consciousness with ethereal sounds. If FOMA (fear of missing alarm) wakes me up throughout the night, I need those...

How to Use Yoga to Talk About Race

by Rachel Drummond | Aug 28, 2020 | Contemplative Physical Practice, Mats, Props, and Books, Yoga Off the Mat

I believe every white person who wishes for peace must commit to doing antiracist work. Antiracism work and yoga require self-reflection, dedication, humility, and no prior experience. To be a yogi means one must also want to dismantle white supremacy. We can do this by decentralizing white perspectives and uplifting the voices people of color.
