Birth Story: Ina May Gaskin and the Farm Midwives captures a spirited group of women who taught themselves how to deliver babies on a 1970s hippie commune, rescued modern midwifery from extinction, and changed the way a generation thought about childbirth. Today, as nearly 1/3 of all US babies are born via C-section, they labor on, fighting to preserve their knowledge and pushing, once again, for the rebirth of birth.

In the formal Ashtanga Vinyasa tradition no asana (posture) practice is done on new and full moon days. Since students who practice in a Mysore setting practice everyday, at the Yoga Workshop, we cancel Mysore classes on Moon Days in order to allow for rest and recuperation. However, we do hold all guided classes and courses that fall on Moon Days to accommodate the fanatics among us.
