Owning The Asana
Check out the big cover story on Kira Ryder and Lulu Bandha's in Ventana Monthly. A short excerpt:
"...beneath her relaxed, gregarious manner is a focused intensity, a commitment to engaging in her work to the fullest. When she squats before first-time visitors, grabs them by the wrist, looks into their eyes, and says, "This is your yoga practice," she means business. For Ryder, the goal of teaching yoga is to create an atmosphere where her students — "practitioners" as she calls them — can own their own practice, find their inner yoga teacher and learn to trust that guide."
See you all at Lulu's, 5:15pm today, for Yoga Basics?

I have been a Kira devotee
since she came to town- she
never fails to astonish
with her wisdom and grace
as well as command of practice of
Yoga. Even when we flake away
from the studio due
to the crazy demands of life she and Lulu
teachers remain giving
to the student-highly recommend
their insight and trust.

Congrats! This is a gorgeous writeup, I am so glad they did justice to Lulu's and to our beautiful Kira, a shinning example of what Ojai is all about.
