It is with profound sadness that I inform you of the passing of Sharath Jois on November 11th. When I think of his teachings, I think of his unwavering devotion to his students and his countless years of service to the ashtanga community. He was very happy during this time in Virginia, full of smiles and grateful to see his students. His students and family were so important to him, and he gave so much to us.  Whether you met Sharath Jois or not, his teachings have and will be passed on through generations. You can watch our memorial and chanting to Sharath Jois here. Stay strong and if you need community, please connect with us.
