Sara's Yoga Blog: April 2008
http://saraintonato.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, April 29, 2008. A Day in the Life of an Ashtangi. Many of you have asked me what life is like here in India. I can't speak for everyone, but here is what my life is like from day to day:. 3:30am: Wake up, have ginger tea, slather myself with coconut oil, meditate, shower, and get ready for Yoga practice. I head to lunch, either at Tina's, Geetha's or Anu's. The local women are amazing cooks and use filtered water and healthy, fresh ingredients. This the key to avoiding illness. Know ...6:-7:30pm...

Sara's Yoga Blog: May 2008
http://saraintonato.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 22, 2008. No, not that kind of party! I am being a good yoga student in India :). On May 23rd the Ashtanga Yoga community in Mysore is doing some Karma Yoga and throwing a fund raising bash for Operation Shanti. Each ticket (only $10) aids one child directly. On the "our people" page on Operation Shanti's site you can see the adorable faces of those who are receiving our assistance. I chose Sumitra (Chummi), whom I'm told is quite feisty ;) I hope I get to meet her tomorrow night! In Mysore...

Wednesday, August 6, 2008. Is It That Time Already? It's official: fall retreat registration has officially begun and the first few spots are already taken. I know, I am in denial that fall is around the corner. Heck, I have forgotten that winter even exists! Please, don't try to remind me.I'm enjoying the bliss brought by ignorance in this department. Sorry, I digress. This is the 3rd retreat I will be holding at the Jedediah Hawkins Inn. When: Saturday, October 18, 2008. Posted by Sara Intonato. Living...

Sara's Yoga Blog: Sthirasukhamasanam
http://saraintonato.blogspot.com/2008/11/sthirasukhamasanam.html
Tuesday, November 18, 2008. Yoga Sutra II.46 states "Sthirasukhamasanam", meaning an asana must have dual qualities of alertness and relaxation to be considered an asana at all, let alone an effective one. Sure, our teachers can lead us and guide us with their own knowledge but they do not inhabit our bodies and minds. It is OUR duty to be conscious during practice and know when to respect our limitations. If you aren't ok setting limits for yourself it is high time for an ego check! Good post. Nice ...

http://saraintonato.blogspot.com/2008/12/returning-to-motherland.html
Monday, December 8, 2008. Returning to the Motherland. It is time for me to announce to my dear students and friends that I am returning to India this winter. I am thrilled for so many reasons. First, I will be staying for 3 months! Something I have wanted to do for so long and has finally fallen into place. I know this will help me to deepen my relationship with Guruji and Sharath, at last. Second, my husband, Ben is coming with me! Posted by Sara Intonato. This is certainly a trip that will strengthen ...

Tuesday, September 30, 2008. We can't force the stock market back up, nor can we force people to vote for our own presidential preference (ahem, Obama). Freedom comes when we realize that being a control freak is a waste of time, because the universe is not ours to micromanage. HOWEVER, there are a few things we can control. We can choose to take this one breath in this moment. . We can choose to be peaceful in our interactions with the earth and all beings. Posted by Sara Intonato. I am truly grateful t...

Monday, January 26, 2009. In addition to being a student of Yoga and sanskrit in India I have begun something I TRULY wanted to do for a long time.give back. Yesterday I taught my first arts and crafts class to the children of Operation Shanti, an organization which supports children in Mysore and gets them off the streets, out of the slums, and into a clean home and school. Posted by Sara Intonato. Wednesday, January 21, 2009. Thank you so much for your patience. Ben has gone home from India now, so...
