Matthew & Carla Vollmer of Rio's Astanga Spirit will be hosting Eddie & Jocelyn Stern at the Jardim Botanico yogashala from Mar. 27th to April 1st for Mysore & guided classes , lectures & puja.
From the Astanga Spirit website : " Eddie is known for his total devotion to Ashtanga , Guruji and the Hindu tradition.
His shala is a temple , where he teaches daily to the most devoted Ashtanga practitioners and leads pujas and other Hindu rituals of devotion. "
That encapsulates what I like most about practicing at AYNY / The Broome St. Temple , the tradition & devotional atmosphere.
I never got a chance to practice with Matthew Volmer during my last trip to Rio , as I was attending classes at Nirvana in Gavea & Blyss Ipanema. I did meet Dany Sa' , who is one of Matthew's students. She gave me a copy of her " Segunda Serie" DVD which Felipe Bretas shot.
The Cariocas will definitely find Eddie & Jocelyn's visit transporting & muito maneiro -
