The Ashtanga Yoga Confluence is over, but the stream of knowledge and inspiration from this first-of-its-kind gathering doesn’t have to end for any of us.
Here’s a list of Confluence-related resources, which I’ve divided into various categories. Perhaps the most important list below is the one for workshops offered by the Confluence teachers. Nothing beats being in the same room to feel the radiance of these deeply devoted teachers.
==Blog posts specifically about the Confluence by the teachers==
Tim Miller
- Tuesday, February 28th (a post just before the start of the gathering)
- Tuesday, March 6th (a post just after the end of the gathering). I love that in this post, Tim Miller notes how he once asked Guruji what he thought about western students’ pronunciation of Sanskrit. Guruji said simply, “Eddie’s is correct.”
Eddie Stern
==Keeping up with the Confluence teachers’ writings==
- Last year, I created the Ashtanga Yoga + Social Media Grid, which includes several of the Confluence teachers. Follow them on Twitter, via their newsletters, etc. So check that out if you haven’t yet, and get your social media on.
- Tim Miller’s blog
- Eddie Stern’s blog
- Read Richard Freeman’s book, The Mirror of Yoga
==Blog posts and blog series by Ashtanga practitioners==
- The single best hub of Confluence-related posts can be found at The Confluence Countdown. I would keep checking here, because Steve and Bobbie add new links as they come across them. (And can I just say again how excited I was to get to meet Bobbie and Steve in person at the Confluence? Hopefully we’ll have more time to actually hang out and chat one of these days.)
- Ashtanga Yoga Gainsville
