Illuminating ... JD Wolfe!

JD Shares the story of his coming to practice Ashtanga Yoga

When I first moved to New York & was struggling with career, addiction, identifying as a gay man, & relationships, to name a few, I began a journey into yoga. Without a lot of money I found that I could do Karma Yoga (cleaning & sweeping the studios) in return for free classes; I took many classes but the one that made me really sweat, & get pissed, humbled, and challenged, was the Ashtanga class.

What I thought I had wanted from yoga changed forever for me after that class. I thought I wanted escape from my life’s mounting problems, to be carried away by soaring music, or the promise of new and exciting poses that I was getting in other classes. Ashtanga was having none of that. It was repetitive and it was challenging to stay focused and present. Ashtanga was asking me to not get distracted by outside forces, to hone concentration, and stay within. As I moved deeper into the practice of Ashtanga and discovered Mysore classes, I knew that if I was to be content and fulfilled in my life, I needed to be on that mat once a day – practicing being fully present, moving through the obstacles of my inner life, not trying to get around them but facing them and moving through them with breath and awareness.
