At the age of 70, after years of an occasional practice with various teachers and forms of Yoga, I discovered Jimmy and Ashtanga Yoga. I was an immediate convert, even though it should have been wrong for me because I was slow to learn and have a body much too inflexible to do the postures correctly. I stayed with it though, pursuing an almost daily practice between sessions with Jimmy and work at home with video instruction. I recommend this type of yoga and Jimmy’s style of instruction. I found it hard to do, but deeply satisfying.

We found gold in the New Mexico desert! This group practices true, #fullvinyasa Led Primary as counted by James Cardinale. I knew I was at home when he began to quote Nietzsche and recite beat poetry. And look at this happy group of practitioners! The median age here is late forties/early fifties. Whoever says Ashtanga is for youngsters doesn't know what they're talking about. If ever in Albuquerque, you need to experience this.

I was introduced to Ashtanga by James Cardinale a few years back. He inspired and still inspires me. I had done daily yoga and taught yoga for a few years. My progress was never so profound as in his Mysore classes. I'm not easily impressed, but his level of Ashtanga skill and teaching is extraordinary. I, at 58 years old, am doing asanas I never dreamed I'd accomplish in this lifetime. I was never as flexible as I am now.
I have learned so much and it's never boring. I have gotten minor injuries (from other activities) and James has helped me to heal. I will always be grateful for when I complained about my shoulder hurting and he suggested handstands....which was exactly what was right for me and my shoulder! I healed so fast. I also have overcome a lot of fears. Because of James Cardinale I am a better person, teacher and one-who-practices-Ashtanga.

Jimmy, your teaching has become a mantra. I took a few pictures of the light between my toes on a few different days while climbing El Capitan twice. I spent 7 of the last 30 days sleeping in a vertical world over two trips up one of the biggest pieces of rock in the world. It has been life changing. All my climbing partners hear me speak about you. The things you say are as valuable as the things you show and teach us, and so many of them are constantly ringing through my mind when the challenges get real.

I showed up for the thursday 6 pm class, but it wasn't happening. Instead there was some kind of meeting.
Please put me on your maling list so I know about cancellations or changes in the future.
Aside from tonight, I am happy because for the first time in about two years I was able to walk 2 miles- a mile to Java Joe's cafe, a cup of tea, and then a mile back! So I know that the class is helping me, although I am so slow. About six weeks ago--before I started your class--I was in despair because I could only walk a short distance without pain. So thank you!! Thank you for leading the class and being such a good teacher. It seems as if you have a hundred eyes in the back, front, and side of your head!
