Workshop with David Keil

Twelve hours of adjustment workshop this weekend with David Keil (KAIL, as it turned to be properly pronounced) left me sore all over but quite satisfied. Very good workshop for a yoga teacher. Everything he said made a lot of sense. I will have a week of Mysore practice with him, so hopefully will experience all those excellent adjustment first hand.

hi Alfia
oh, he's such a nice teacher and person. i've practiced with him and taken lessons from him many time in those early days when starting ashtanga in earnest in Miami. maybe he will touch upon anatomy, one of his expertises.
hugs,
Arturo

Hi, Arturo:

I agree, David seems to be an amazing teacher and a very warm person, too. He did talk a lot about the anatomy, which I love!

I did David's anatomy workshop a couple of years ago, I learned so much.

hi Alfia
by the way, that is a very interesting adjustment you photographed, where she places her hand on his foot and he grabs her toes, so she can feel what the full expression of the asana would be.

David is one of those people that inspired me to look into calorie restriction. he came back from Mysore thinner and my first teacher, who also practiced with him said, "the practice and going to India makes you thinner". but since i could not get to India, i sought out limiting calories so i could do the practice better. i'm not naturally stringy.

cheers,
Arturo
word verif: routal - that was my route
