* Draw peace, strength and tranquillity from a higher source
* Practical guidance in the technique of meditation

Each session will include:
* Know-how

Karma Yoga

Although I am a teacher of Hatha Yoga, I find great strength in the path of action and selfless service. Serving without attachment to the fruits (or results) of the action - Karma Yoga. And therefore, I constantly keep my eyes pealed for opportunities to assist others ..... as Martin Luther King has stated, "you too can be a servant."

Recently, while walking down 24th Street, I stopped at the neighborhood bar - "Pops." And, as I drank my Fat Tire Beer, I noticed something different about the bartender. Emily seemed to have a swollen mouth. And Emily's lips seem to be a bit on a tilt. So, I continued to watch. .....

About half way through my beer, Emily spoke. And although she could hardly articulate her words, she told me the following:

"A couple nights ago, while 'walking my bike home' - I was the victim of a hit & run. As I crossed 24th Street @ Bryant Street, I was hit by a car (that was going 30 mph.) . The side view mirror struck my face, 13 of my teeth flew into Bryant Street and the driver just kept going. And although a local cab driver witnessed the incident, only part of the driver's license plate number was noticed. So I collected my teeth, put them in my purse and was taken to the hospital. "

Although Emily still has the ability to work - she will likely never make enough to pay the approximate $70,000.00 upcoming dentist bills. Emily, a fellow cyclist, could use the support of the San Francisco community.

So!

If you ever walked or ridden a bike and been hit by a car ...
If you've ever drank a beer at Pop's /or/ are an alcoholic. . . . .
If you've ever been in the wrong place at the wrong time. .. . .
If money is burning a hole in your pocket /or/you might have something to raffle off at the fundraiser ...
If you're a Karma Yogi / Yogini at heart ...

Here's a fine opportunity to do community service.

A Benefit Show for Emily:

Date: 19 July 2008
The Parkside
1600 17th Street (at Wisconsin Street)
San Francisco, CA.
9:00pm.

For more information missionrat@hotmail.com

And if you can't make it to the benefit - perhaps, drop by Pops and show Emily (the bartender) some love.

18 May 2008 - Iyengar Yoga Teacher - Garrell Herndon

My teaching is inspired by my training with Iyengar style teachers, and my studies of Structural Integration. Teaching was never a goal, just a part of the learning process.

Took my first yoga class in 1988. Joined the Iyengar Yoga Institute of San Francisco Advanced Studies/ Teacher Training program in 1991. Been to Pune to study with the Iyengars directly.
Over the years I've studied with many Great SF yoga teachers. Kathy Alef, Patricia Sullivan, and Janet MacLeod.. I also studied with Tony Briggs, Arthur Kilmurray, Manouso Manos, and Ramanand Patel. Mostly, I apprenticed and studied with Ramanand. Patel . The summer of 2007 I was fortunate enough to assist the instructor at the Guild for Structural Integration.

In the yoga class the use of props, and physical adjustments,, help students find their greatest potential in the poses. The classes are all around solid and the refined instructions are felt to the bone. You can read more about all this at http://yogabodywork.net//

Iyengar Yoga Teacher - Melissa MacDonald

25 May 2008 - Iyengar Yoga Teacher - Melissa MacDonald

The first yoga class I went to gave me immediate relief from my lower back pain and I knew without doubt I had stumbled upon a precious gift: I was committed. After ten years of practice, including participation in a two-year Iyengar teacher training program, I now teach yoga. My precise and thoughtful instruction of the yoga poses guides students into a deeper awareness of themselves enabling them to tap into yoga's gifts of health and transformation.

13 April 2008 - Ellie Herman Pilates

Ellie Herman Studios has been a San Francisco Mission establishment since 1993. It all started in the “Old Sears Building” on the former Army Street in Ellie’s live/work loft (Studio 225). With only a second-hand gymnastic mat and a reformer, Ellie opened up shop. After a few years, Ellie accumulated more equipment and decided to offer teacher trainings. Being immersed in the dance community for years, Ellie recruited mostly professional modern dancers to her initial teacher trainings. To this day, the lion’s share of EHS teaching staff is working modern dancers who teach Pilates to support their art (fortunately dancers make excellent Pilates trainers). Ellie became bicoastal in 2005 with the Brooklyn studio in the heart of Park Slope.

13 April 2008 - Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner - Anna Yaya Kelleher

Anna has studied and taught yoga in the Iyengar tradition for over fifteen years. The practice of yoga and being in the yoga community naturally led to an interest, and then formal studies, in Ayurveda. Both of these sciences have sustained and enriched her through her worklife, pregnancy and birthing, motherhood, and other life changes and challenges. She views yoga and Ayurveda as structures we build within ourselves that we can always come home to whatever the circumstances. Yoga and Ayurveda offer us deep spiritual foundations so that we become present to ourselves and the world as we are, enabling us to experience and share joy. One of her favorite yogic sayings is “many paths, one truth” because it communicates that essence of allowing. Anna views sharing these sciences with students, as a teacher, and clients, as a Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner, as an honor and a pleasure.

Anna studied yoga at the Iyengar Yoga Institute of San Francisco with teachers who include Judith Lasater, Ramanand Patel, Janet Macleod, and Jaki Nett. She has studied with Manouso Manos, and the Iyengars both in the US and in India. She has studied Ayurveda with Dr. Jay Apte at the Kerala Academy. She is currently enrolled in massage school at the World School of San Francisco. She works and lives in San Francisco.

Hatha Flow Yoga Teacher - Paul Tucci

20 April 2008 - Hatha Flow Yoga Teacher- Paul Tucci

In 1996, I attended my first class at World's Gym - San Diego. The Yoga teacher asked "why are you taking this class?:" I answered, "to learn something new about my body". Through experiencing the Iyengar style of Yoga with Tony Eason, I noticed that my sacrum & lumbar spine started to loosen. I discovered the power of the deep breath, and the mindfulness of the practice.

               Les Leventhal inspired me with his insightful and challenging classes. Darren Main & Christopher Love 's Hawaii yoga retreat was a celebration of the deepening of my yoga practice and my life.

And after a misguided venture into Real Estate, Joy Ravelli suggested that I become a yoga instructor. That suggestion sent me to many work-shops and eventually to Seattle where i took my teacher training with Anna Forrest.

And, after 11 years, that innocent answer is still the root of what yoga still is for me . Yoga is an exploration of the muscles, the bones, the tendons, the breath, and a break from the churning mind.

            Presently, I teach an Ana Forrest inspired Hatha Flow classes at Gold's Gym (Brannan St.).
            Love & peace, Paul

Mike's Bikes - Karma Yoga in Action

Mike's Bikes

Striving to walk the path of the karma yogi, I am moved when I experience or view acts of kindness. And today, again - I was touched.

While returning from a training ride loop to San Rafael, CA., I made my usual "pit-stop" at Mike's Bikes of Sausalito. I visited their "WC." I purchased some CyloMax. I filled my water bottles. And then, I noticed something different - something new - something simply "FANTASTIC!" (And no, it wasn't a taxi). It was karma yoga in action.

How it Works:

"Bring your donation bike (in reasonable working condition) to any Mike’s Bikes store.

Make a $15 donation to cover our discounted shipping rate to get the donation bike over to Africa (optional).

Leave your contact information with Mike's Bikes for updates on your bike’s journey.

Mike's Bikes will disassemble and pack your bike into a shipping container, which will sail for Botswana in late April.

Mike's Bikes will travel to Botswana to unpack the container and assist with building the bikes and distributing them to their sister shop partner.

This upstart bike shop in Botswana will sell the bikes at a reasonable price to local residents, and generate operating capital allowing it, in turn, to import more bikes.

By establishing a steady supply chain of bikes—and a reputable dealer to sell, service, and repair them—you will have been instrumental in developing a sustainable source of bicycles for a community that has never had them. It will make a huge difference in the lives of people for decades to come." - Mike's Bikes

And another wonderful Aidslifecycle training ride it was .. ..

So remember, it doesn't matter what you've been through .. . .
It doesn't matter what your sexual orientation, financial status, age, weight, creed, or location is ..
It only matters what you do .. .

If you want to create change (perhaps a better world) - you must begin with yourself . .

Wishing the best of all possible worlds,

tony

AIDS Rides:

Aidslifecycle - 2008

Aidslifecycle - 14 years - 11 treks - A bike ride of a lifetime

In 1984, at the age of 22, I moved to San Francisco. During this time period, I could often be found in "The Trocadero," "The End Up," "Buzzby's, "DV8," and various other night clubs. San Francisco's night club scene was "off the hook." Everyone was having a good time. Yet, as the years past, I noticed that my Disco friends were slowly missing. And when I asked others about them, ...the common response was ..."they're dead." And now, at the age of 45, most of my friends are no longer here. Most have died of HIV/AIDS, or complications of the AIDS pandemic.

So, I had the choice of either
1.) To sit and watch
2.) Do something about it

At first, I sat and watched. And then, I put down the bottle of Robert Mondavi Chardonnay. And, I decided to do my part for humanity. I registered, participated, and completed a 585 mile bike ride from San Francisco to West Hollywood titled: California AIDS Ride #2 sponsored by Tanqueray.

Since 1994, I have experienced life long changes within: my way of thought, my desires, and my circle of friends and family. I have broken the metatarsals of the right foot, the clavicle, the left fibia, the right tibia, and the right hand ring finger .. I've witnessed fellow veteran AidslifeCycle Cyclist: lose their place of residency, spend their last dime on a clif bar, dress in drag for sponsorships, overcome breast cancer, get on the wagon, and even train without a bike. Yet, through perservernce and discipline, we keep coming back. . .

In June 2008, for my 11th Year, I will participate in an event to benefit the S.F. AIDS Foundation called Aidslifecycle. Each year, I cycle 575 miles (from S.F to L.A, CA.). And, each year, I complete the ride knowing I did the right thing.

Sometimes we want to help others, but we are so overwhelmed by all that needs to be done in this world that we don't know where to start. We hope that tomorrow or next week, when everything calms down, we will be able to become the actively compassionate human beings we know we can be. We put off goodness like we put off going on a diet.

Yet world history is a reflection of the actions, thoughts and words of Human Beings. Here's to the friends, family, teachers, crew, sponsors, and fellow cyclist - the machinery behind the Aidslifecycle event.

. Don't put off goodness like we put off going on a diet. Please assist me in raising the $2,500.00 minimum (per cyclist) to participate in Aidslifecycle 2008 - every penny counts. See what you can do today! Sponsor Online

Vinyasa Yoga Teacher

23 March 2008 - Vinyasa Yoga Teacher - Annie Leguennec

I discovered my first yoga class 5 years ago at my local gym to release tension from my daily life, and I felt in love with it instantly. I also practiced Martial arts for several years. As a student and teacher of yoga I believe in building a constant practice with discipline self-study, and devotion.

I teach Vinyasa Yoga, incorporating alignment, and breathing. Vinyasa Yoga stands apart from most other forms of yoga because its main features are a constant physical activity and a heightened energy level. Vinyasa Yoga gives the body a balanced development of physical strength. Regular practice will help to free the muscular system allowing the skeleton to regain its correct alignment encouraging good posture and excellent body tone. I teach at the YMCA, I also teach Prenatal Yoga, and Gentle Yoga for seniors.

iyengar yoga teacher reviews

30 March 2008 - Yoga Teacher - Vickie Lew

In Boston, I studied hatha yoga for several years after my body cried, "help me!" For seven years, I was a student of Dahnhak and then became a full time yoga instructor with the organization. Currently, I teach this Korean form at the Bernal Heights Senior Program on Monday and Wednesday mornings.

This simple method works on stimulating our accuppressure system by tapping our bodies. We awaken our chakras with bouncing and shaking. In addition we naturally perform the traditional stretching and breathing we have come to know as yoga.

Come prepared to breathe, smile and enjoy noticiing the joy of moving your body. Suitable for any level student. Come with your open heart and mind.

Tony's 11th Annual Aidslifecycle Kickoff - "Bike Ride - Fried Chicken & the New Belgium Brewery."

Who would have ever thought that an adventure that started off as merely "something to tell the grand children" would bring me onto such a positive & life changing path?

From Chardonnay to cocaine to Shimano to Campanolo.
From Bianchi to Salsa to Soulcraft.
From 1 mile to 127 miles to 575 miles to 6325 miles to well over 32, 725 miles by bike.
From Start to Finish to Mike's Bikes to Sport Basement & American Cyclery (Tyson Mitchell).
From 24hr Fitness to Gold's Gym to Club One.
From newbie cyclist learning "yoga for cyclist" to Iyengar Yoga Teacher, Mary Friedland, to the Iyengar Yoga Institute to Janet McLeod to Iyengar Yoga Teacher, tony eason.

Who would have ever thought?
