在space练习ashtanga的同学，可以在柜台入口处看见一个小小的地方，那里有鲜花及烛火和大师最后的身影．若想要表达对大师的追思，别忘了，双手合十．斯人已远，但风范永存．
大师的离去，令人思考人要选择何种方式，让人记得，是怀念或是怀恨，端在当下一念之间．
祝平安

刚刚才将一些连结更新，就发现白鹭鸶上有着大大消息Sri K. Pattabhi Jois殒落，他是ashtanga的创立者，也是精神指标人物，更是这一个世代的传奇人物，但在昨天以93高寿辞世，令人缅怀不已，斯人已远但精神永存．相信，他的精神会在每一个晨起的mysore中显露，人生在世，最重要的，不在生命的长短，而在生命的宽度及为世人留下了什么奉献．
很感谢，大师一生的奉献．

This Too Shall Pass: Sri K. Pattabhi Jois Dead at 93

Sri Krishna Pattabhi Jois (July 26, 1915 – May 18, 2009)
All good things must pass. Nothing lasts forever. Of course. But there are still some things we like to take for granted, that we hope will never leave us. Today we, and yoga dorks all over the world, mourn the passing of Ashtanga Yoga founder, luminary and guide, Sri K Pattabhi Jois. We’d heard he was sick and wished him peace and health. But as if we needed another reminder of our own vulnerability to the power of the universe, Guruji took the next step in life and passed on at approximately 2:30am local time, reportedly in his home, in Mysore, India.
Words can not express our profound gratitude and respect for the man responsible in forging the path for Ashtanga, as well as (and especially for) helping expand yoga in the West. We send condolences and virtual compassion to his loved ones, and to all who loved him and were moved by his mission.
As it so happens, it seems our internets have been moved to silence in a show of solidarity. And so we blog from our phones, because troopers we are, dammit, and we sure as hell won’t give in without first saying our peace, and bittersweet goodbyes.
Those of us still with our feet planted on the living Earth, let’s rejoice in all Guruji has shared and let us practice with sincerest intention and remembrance.
We know our next sun salutions will be a little brighter, in honor of the light Guruji has shone. Namaste. Rest in peace.
Please share your memories, condolences, stories in the comments.

今天收到同学的来信，让我有幸得知另一本好书正悄悄上市，那是一本印度最富哲理的书–薄伽梵歌，不！是认识薄伽梵歌的第一本书－－印度智慧书．
得以前在出版社担任编辑，没日没夜的工作，忙着叩摄影师，彩妆师，造型师，模特儿，还要联络厂商借道具或是服装，最后再联络快递或是送便当的，反正一切烦死人的细节都要take care到，那时真怀疑自己长了三头六臂，最重要的是这项专题企画必须控制在预算之内，最后一切就绪就等身为小编我闭门写稿，早上八点开始关门写稿，这一写就写到了地老天荒，再出关时，已是晚上八点，可怕的是，仿佛黄梁一梦似的，出来时，天色昏沈，人都跑光了，肚子也竟不觉得饿．这就是当年身为苦命小编的生活．
小时候，有玩过齿轮玩具吗，每个齿轮必须紧紧咬合才能启动整个系统，这个齿轮积木游戏可以启发大脑思考判断的功能。现在这套游戏，上帝送给你，在每个人的身上安装了七个齿轮，每个齿轮形成一个能量回路称为Loop，这就是Anusara有名的Seven Loops七大回路的观念，和Seven…. Eleven是不同的（7-11 ^^!!）。
最后，再次强调这七个轮子必须是以侧面观之，才不会和Spiral的观念弄混，Inner spiral or outer spiral内旋及外旋强调的是，正面观之，但作用在水平面上即横切面，强调的是骨盆扩张的能量以利于股骨及下背的稳定度，此外，Spiral的观念也会应用在手臂的内旋及外旋上，也是透过肩带的扩张的力量，协助肩膀及颈部及上背的稳定度。通过内外旋这种扩张的力量可以创造出中轴延展的力量，让身体更加延长如同太阳光芒一样，因此Loop和Spiral的功能是一样的，但做法不同罢了。
