Aloha! From Hawaii to Ubud
Three weeks of Asthanga yoga with Eagle at the Yoga Barn
A six foot eagle Eagle has flown into town. Direct from Kauai, Hawaii, Ashtanga yoga has landed in Ubud initiating the start of an intensive period of internationally recognised Ashtanga yoga teachers.
The name Eagle does not refer to his graceful yogic skills nor is it a reference to any romantic Native Indian roots, but rather it is the surname which Doug Eagle began to be known during a seventeen year professional career as a racket ball player. Eagle's rise to success was suspended in 1992 when he was paralysed from the waist down after a horrific car accident. Eagle was told his lifetime of sports was over. Irreversible damage to his lower spine necessitated extensive surgery, including a sacral fusion of the lower vertebrae. After two and a half years of intense rehabilitation including yoga practice, Eagle once again picked up a racket and before long was ranked in the world top ten of international racketball players. Eagle is now one of only around 300 Ashtanga yoga teachers personally certified by Sri Pattabhi Jois.
Yoga has always been part of Eagle's life and was a key part of his miraculous rehabilitation, but now Ashtanga - the eight limbs of yoga - is his Life. Arriving in Bali to share his years of training under the direct tutorship of Guruji and his grandson R.Sharat, Eagle exudes knowledge of how to guide a safe and exhilarating Ashtanga practice remaining loyal to the lineage of Ashtanga while demonstrating respect for individual capacities and levels of experience of each member of his daily classes.

Traditional "Mysore Style" Ashtanga Yoga – with Eagle at The Yoga Barn©, Ubud

Click here to Enlarge Poster
|
Sept 20 - Oct 9, 2009 - Ongoing Mysore Classes,
In the tradition of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois of Mysore, India
This is the manner in which Ashtanga Yoga is taught in Mysore, India by Sri R. Sharath
of the Sri K. Pattabhi Jois Ashtanga Yoga Institute. Students learn the traditional sequence of asanas (postures) on an individual basis, one by one, yet in a group setting. The
practice/class remains silent with soft spoken one on one individual instruction. The asanas are taught in a progressive system, where each builds strength and stamina, developing the student for the next asana. This is a very powerful and safe way of learning Ashtanga Yoga. The
students then memorize the sequence, which becomes their personal practice.
Please vist the website of Ashtanga Yoga for more details: www.KPJAYI.org

Ubud Writers and Readers Festival
|
|
|
October 7 - 11, Ubud.
The international Ubud Writers & Readers Festival is the major project of the Ubud-based Mudra Swari Saraswati Foundation. It was first conceived of by Janet De Neefe, co-founder of the Foundation, as a response to counteract the damaging effect of the first Bali bombing. The first Festival took place in 2004. Since its founding, however, the UWRF has grown and developed into an internationally recognized forum that fosters a global conversation and provides a platform for writers from Indonesia and around the world to share their ideas and perspectives on current issues.
Festival events will take place in venues around Ubud. The location has long been regarded as one of Indonesia's cultural and artistic centers. In Ubud, artists congregate to showcase their masterpieces, be it visual arts, performances, or crafts.
