 Registration is open for the next few trainings:
March - Flight of the Crow (Pose) April - Intro to Yoga Philosophy April - 4 week Beginner Series II April - Roots of Vinyasa Weekend (Ashtanga-based) in Yuma, Arizona April - Road Trip? I'm teaching a day intensive in Norman, Oklahoma May - Hosting Andrew Eppler for Day Intensive WORKSHOP FULL Con, my student of 8 years performing bakasana b (crow with straight arms) I'm super excited about our upcoming arm balance and handstand series! Let's use this board to communicate and share along the way. If you have any questions or requests, please comment below!
If you're new to my shala (yoga school), I'm at 3922 Saint Christopher Lane, Dallas TX 75287, duplex entrance on the right. We begin at 6:30pm sharp. Doors open at 6pm. See you soon! Week 1 - Foundations of arm balancing and what to do to get there faster + Basic arm balancing postures Week 2 - Jedi warm ups and handstands Week 3 - Handstands and other arm balancing postures I had an idea to use this blog to communicate since not everyone who's signed up on for the workshop is on social media, and I want to respect your email privacy. I am beginning to reduce my social media consumption as well, and I did it by deleting the IG app from my phone. I am being more present and it's been wonderful! If you are attending the class this weekend, please comment with what you want to work on or have questions about and I'll create an informative and challenging practice for all of us. pranamami (i bow) Ricky Tran  |

To whom I lend loving credit.
Srivatsa Ramaswami, one-on-one student of T Krishnamacharya for 33 years. He is the teacher whom I have learned the most about yoga. He's taught me Krishnamacharya's Vinyasa Krama (asana, vinyasa, pranayama), direct translation of ancient texts, e.g. Yoga Sutra, Bhagavad Gita, Samkhya Karika, just to name a few. I have learned a tremendous amount of Sanskrit through this master's blessings.

Original Ashtanga Yogis
David Swenson, David Williams, (Ricky Tran) and Danny Paradise
@Ashtanga Mela 2010. These first generation Ashtangis showed me by example how one can continue to practice yoga for the rest of your life.

The Amazing Kumar Pallana, actor, performer, comedian, yogi, taught me that no matter the age of the student, everyone must be taught to laugh and breathe.
|
Sri Dharma Mitra, circa 2009 taught me about ahimsa and devotion. The master reminds us that the goal of yoga is Self-Realization. He is as his name implies, a friend to all.

Inspired by Bryan Kest Power Yoga, through Suze Curtis, my first yoga teacher. Learn to be comfortable when uncomfortable. Listen. Respond vs. React.
