Namasté
Welcome.  I am not a former dancer and I have never been to Mysore.  I am an artist, painting professor and long-time Ashtanga practitioner who tries to keep up a daily practice of yoga to stave off the aches and pains of middle-age.  If I have gained any wisdom about this practice it has come from some wonderful teachers and from my own experiences on the mat over a long number of years.- Michael Rich
