This year marks the twentieth anniversary of\u00c2\u00a0 my yoga practice.\u00c2\u00a0 It is a sacred gift I carry with me wherever I go.\u00c2\u00a0 My mother introduced me to the benefits of yoga when I was a senior in high school, and we would go together every week.\u00c2\u00a0 We loved the teachers at Jivamukti Yoga\u00c2\u00a0in the heart of the East Village, when it was still a small studio.<\/p>\n

I was very excited to finally take a class in India, the true birthplace of yoga.\u00c2\u00a0 Sadly, Jes’ favorite teacher Vijay<\/a> left town so it was not the class we were expecting. \u00c2\u00a0Even an average yoga class is better than no practice at all, right? It is a total treat to do yoga outside on a rooftop with gorgeous views of coconut tress and crazy crows spiraling around the sky.\u00c2\u00a0 It made me forget about the hustle bustle of motorbikes and tourists and pushy shopkeepers downstairs.<\/p>\n

I also rarely get to have a nice long class in New York, this one was over 2 hours!\u00c2\u00a0 Most of the deep stretching (my favorite part) happens in the last part of class, and this often left out because of time constraints.\u00c2\u00a0 It made me miss practicing with Dharma Mittra<\/a>, whose 2 1\/2 hour master classes helped me survive photo grad school.<\/p>\n

After the long flight and the stress that comes before a long voyage it made my body and mind feel heavenly.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 I never met a practicing yogi that complained about having trouble falling asleep at night. Somehow I managed to completely avoid getting jet lagged too!<\/p>\n
