Miami Life Center : Kino MacGregor & Patrick Nolan

From The Miami Life Center website : " Please note that you should learn only from a traditionally trained teacher who follows the lineage of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois ( parampara ) to ensure a safe and healthy journey for the body and mind into the science of the Ashtanga Method to yoga. " MLC is unique among all the yogashalas with certified & authorized teachers that I drop in for a couple of reasons. The 1st being it is a community space that is dedicated to yoga, the study of holistic health & consciousness.An oasis of calm in the midst of South Beach's hedonism ( MAYA-mi , hehe ). The 2nd is the fact that they have 2 rooms where Led & Mysore classes can be held simultaneously. A great way for a beginner to segue into the Mysore Primary Series. I was blessed to be able to attend a couple of Patrick Nolan's evening Mysore classes this week. He is Mr. Feel Good. Every assist & adjustment that he provided me always ended in an encouraging " Good " after he counted out the 5 breaths. Which could be trying at times after along day of meetings ,walking into MLC stiff , and then getting opened up in Prasarita Padotanasana C. Jai to MLC for conducting evening Mysore & Led classes simultaneously. And Patrick , thanks for all the tips & encouragement.
