The man was 93 yet I was stunned to see the BBC news headline Yoga pioneer Pattabhi Jois dies.I have tried to practice yoga off and on for many years and my favorite style is ashtanga. Pattabhi Jois is Guruji, yoga master of ashtanga yoga. I always had a secret desire to go to Mysore and study with him. Ok, maybe it wasn't so secret. It was one of my "big ideas" a few years back - remember Leah?
It's so sad to see another great master pass on. Dispite all of my practice and teachings on impermenance it still knocks the wind out of my sails everytime. I feel like I am running out of time. These masters will not live forever. It reminds me of something that a teacher had said to me before, "Practice like your hair is on fire!"
