Dear Linda (who teaches Yoga in Pennsylvania),
Appreciating your seeking "to know myself as a loving being and to share that love with those I encounter" in your Yoga teaching much - and re questions of consciousness (which I'm exploring in innovative ways perchance), as well as your nurturing approach re supporting people's Yoga journeys (and metaphorically too). I enjoy facilitating gentle, restorative approaches (and with language) in asana-informed movement - inner body feeling wise too (re Angela's 'inner body' focus). I left strong, yet therapeutic, Iyengar Yoga re the 2 year IYISF certificate program I went through in 1 year (~1991-1992, partly due to a good practice thanks to Dona Holleman's self-published "Yoga Syllabus for Teacher and Student" and its companion "Asana in Photo" books - and I also studied with Dona in both Seattle and Italy in the '90s) having first taken a course with Angela and Victor in around 1984 in Portland, Oregon, and appreciating their free-spirited hippy Yoga creativity. I also enjoy facilitating wondrous inner explorations, re envisioning, and which seem to open ways of becoming aware inwardly, newly, and releasing-wise in the process.
Warmth is another aspect of Yoga exploration / generation which I think might be more readily explorable in Pittsburgh than out west. And greetings from the very diverse Stanford Univ CoHo cafe with a bunch of high-achievers, on a Sunday afternoon on a very beautiful May day. Great to open this conversation as well Linda. :) And thanks for your emails, Linda!
With warm wishes, Scott
Dear Scott,
I'm seek to know myself as a loving being and to share that love with those I encounter. I also interested in supporting people in their journey. I like teaching a strong asana practice and teaching people about their physical bodies and how our minds, emotions and spirit can also benefit.
Thanks for asking Scott.
Sending very warm wishes!
Peace
Linda

Hi Linda,
Could you please add this email to your list as well. Thanks. What are you seeking in your teaching?
Namaste, Scott
Dear Linda,
Could be interesting to teach 2-3 classes of Yoga per week in Pittsburgh 5-10 years from now, if I were to move back with a young family. And possibly to explore co-teaching a class re Angela & Victor's approach to co-teaching. (It's interesting to me to see where the BKS Iyengar's legacy with the Yoga school he started in 1975 in Pune, India, has gone, - in Google Street View -https://www.google.com/maps/place/Ramamani+Iyengar+Memorial+Yoga+Institute/@18.533582,73.838649,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x256821ed070d8e28!8m2!3d18.533582!4d73.838649 - and where his daughter Geeta or perhaps now only his son now are its heads, I think - "Its directors are Yogacharya B.K.S. Iyengar, Geeta S. Iyengar and Prashant S. Iyengar" (http://bksiyengar.com/modules/Institut/RIMYI/rimyi.htm). BKS Iyengar seems to have created a financially successful school as well, and careers for Iyengar teachers - https://iynaus.org/study/teachers - and schools too, all around the world as well; I was able to find Janet MacLeod, Julie Lawrence, and Julie Gudmestad, but not Manouso Manos, in this directory just now, for example). Angela and Victor continue to teach around the world and in their Yoga center in Eftalou on Lesvos in Greece, and ask interesting questions -http://www.angela-victor.com/content/who-are-we-anyway - as well :)
Would love to keep this conversation open for the future, Linda.
Namaste, Scott

Dear Scott,
Very nice to hear from you. Are you still living on the West Coast? When you visit the 'burgh? I have my plate pretty full at the moment but I'm always open to collaborating. What venues are you most comfortable teaching in?
What are you most interested in teaching these days?
If you have any collaboration ideas, put them out there.
Many thanks for reaching out.
Peace

Dear Linda,
Thanks again for your emails.
Am not into Iyengar Yoga myself, - and while my Yoga is partially Angela & Victor inspired (inner body movement-wise, creative inner exploration
envisioning-wise, as well as aesthetically-artistically), it's also partly a process of inner bodymind discovery over the years ... Will let you know when I'm next in town, and looking forward to exploring collaboration in 5-10 years if I move back to Pittsburgh (with a young family:). Am curious to innovate with facilitating online A&V-creatively inspired Yoga -
https://wiki.worlduniversityandschool.org/wiki/Yoga (in many languages, and in group video) - and re wiki World University and School, as well.
Namaste, Scott

Dear Scott,
I am always open to collaborating. I will check out the links that you sent. I don't really practice Iyengar yoga, but I do focus on internal alignment and healthy movements in the joints including the spine.
Who knows if I will still be in Pittsburgh in 5 or 10 years, but if I am I am open.
I hope you are well in theses moments. And if you come to town, let me know.
Peace-love
Linda

April 12, 2019
Dear Friends and Fellow Yogis,
We are over the moon to announce our fall yoga retreat in Tuscany: il dolce momento (the sweet moment), to be held October 19 – 26, 2019, near the town of Radicondoli. We will be living and playing in the Tuscan hills, with a restored 800-year-old villa named Locanda Cugnanello as our home for the week.
This experience is near and dear to my heart, because my father’s family is from the countryside of Toscana. I made my first visit when I was just nine years old, and that's when I saw my first olive tree and experienced for the first time the joy of playing in the summer light and warmth of the Tuscan sun. When I was a young adult I lived in Florence and spent weekends in the countryside with my cousins. In those years, I came to realize why the Renaissance thrived in this region: it was the light. It is the light that is so special. And the masterpieces, artisans, food, culture, people and the land itself fill you up with life!
So now I am thrilled to be able to invite you to join me for il dolce momento in Tuscany this fall. We will experience many sweet moments together as we practice yoga and immerse ourselves in the history, culture and natural beauty of this land and the gracious hospitality of its people—exploring the countryside, towns and farms, and enjoying wines and culinary delights.
No yoga experience is necessary---all are welcome to join us on this adventure! Retreat details can be found on the il dolce momento retreat web page. A few highlights are included below.
Please consider joining me on this Tuscan adventure. I would love to practice, commune, laugh, explore, and share my love of Italy and the Tuscan hills with you! For more information or to request a registration form, please click the button below.
Pace-amore,
Linda M. |

We'll also have an afternoon agriturismo outing in Radicondoli, where we'll visit a local family-owned working farmto learn aboutcheese and olive oil production. We'll also take time to visit a vineyard for a winery tour and wine-tasting. |

Hi M,
Getting the virtual TRAVEL experience down to a realistic virtual Harbin (similar to actually doing this, but very different of course) ... would be great for even thinking about moving back to Pittsburgh in some years ... (with ...? and to raise a family) ... and because Pittsburgh would have much more community than my life here, I'd think ...
Interesting to explore the idea of raising a young family in Pittsburgh, and even buying a house also possibly on Juniata ... a GREAT realistic virtual HarbinHot Springs, for field work, soaking and visiting, could make this especially interesting - and combined with a couple of annual trips out west with World Univ & Sch students for actual field work. :)
(Am also interested in teaching at World Univ & Sch online )
