Tammy on the Mysore rug “back in the day”

BACKGROUND: Tammy began her deeper exploration of Yoga Asana with Ashtanga Yoga in 1999. She worked primarily with a Viniyoga teacher, Juris Zinbergs, connected through the San Diego community with Tim Miller. The interpretation is slightly different than the way the sequence was shared through Europe, however both communities had active support from Pattabhi Jois. Tammy only met Jois for a larger workshop week in San Diego during his last world tour in 2002 (she and 200 other people practiced 1st series in a large gym). Because of her intensive training in the Viniyoga tradition (which focuses on adaptation and breath integration), her approach to the sequence is outside of many of the norms instilled by Pattabhi Jois and of the current Ashtanga Yoga community.
