We are wondering what it means when both ends of the yoga world – corporate chains and solo operations – are struggling to survive. The news that Triyoga in London has gone out of business reminds us of the arc of yoga we have been a part of the past 25+ years. Glen and I were among the foundation teachers at the original Triyoga Primrose Hill studio that opened in 2000. Triyoga had “investors” and changed the landscape of yoga classes in the city, an experience that has been replicated all over the world. On the one hand, people say corporations have destroyed the soul of yoga, and consequently ruined it for everyone. Or maybe yoga in general has just been lost along with everyone’s attention in this economy. What’s obvious is that if you value the yoga classes you attend – in fact any kind of small business – then keep showing up because we all need your support.

At Purple Yoga Hawaii, we are dedicated to a progressive way of teaching, with a long-term view of improving our students’ physical, mental and spiritual well-being. We are mindful of each person’s needs and abilities, and promote a supportive, friendly environment for inspired learning and sound practice.

Ashtanga Yoga is distinct among other styles of yoga for its focus on individual instruction in a small group, the way it was originally taught in Mysore, India. Mysore style is the optimal way to learn Ashtanga Yoga and is suitable for beginners. Each student practices their given sequence (Primary, Intermediate or Advanced) at their own pace with personal guidance including demonstrations, hands-on adjustments and verbal cues from the teachers Cathy Louise and Glen. You don’t need any yoga experience to begin Mysore practice.

Step by step you first learn the Primary Series, a dynamic flowing sequence of asanas (postures) incorporating ujjayi (a breathing technique), bandhas (internal core “locks”), drishti (gazing point) and vinyasa (breath-synchronized movement). All of these tools combined create heat in the body, improve flexibility, develop strength, build stamina, and focus the mind.

New and returning students who are ready to learn yoga and develop a self-practice with our guidance are welcome to drop in to our new location in Kaimuki. Visitors to Honolulu are also welcome to drop in to class.

It’s not very often that I get to have one of my kids in my Mysore room. Koko started coming to Mysore classes as soon as they were born and began “assisting” me when they were around a year old. Over 20 years later, they walked in, stood on their mat, and started to practice with just a few prompts from me.

Koko found their own yoga practice while in college, and since moving to San Francisco has visited a few studios in search of their new yoga home.

It was wonderful to teach them today — it felt good to offer some sound advice on the technical aspects of keeping knees safe in Marichyasana B & D, and extraordinarily fun and satisfying to adjust them in postures.

Thank you, Koko, for letting me share these videos from the past and today!
