Bob Doto

Dr. Robert Svoboda and Dr. Scott Blossom will be speaking at Ashtanga Yoga New York (AYNY) in New York City on Saturday June 14th & Sunday June 15th from 1–4pm.

From the AYNY website:
Fire embodies the sun, and is its spirit on Earth. Fire is the celebrant of sacrifices, and “digester” of life experiences. We rely on fire’s good judgment to keep the other Elements in right relationship to one another. These lectures will discuss how best to invoke fire into our lives, internally & externally; how to prevent fires in places we don’t want them to start; how to align our internal fires; and how to keep Tejas predominant, and Pitta subservient.
