Pineapple Yoga | Ashtanga Yoga, Kauai, Hawaii

PINEAPPLE YOGA... "In the Tradition of Sri K. Pattabhi Jois of Mysore, India"

"Yoga, as a way of life and a philosophy, can be practiced by anyone with inclination to undertake it, for yoga belongs to humanity as a whole. It is not the property of any one group or any one individual, but can be followed by any and all, in any corner of the globe, regardless of class, creed or religion."

Pineapple Yoga is very happy to have Anthony "Prem" Carlisi & Heather Duplex back on Kauai teaching the "Mysore Style" classes once again. Join them 6 days a week in the heart of Kilauea on the North Shore!

Anthony "Prem" Carlisi (ashtangaworld.com) has been practicing and teaching for 30 years, beginning his yoga journey in 1978, in Encinitas and is considered one of the American pioneers of Ashtanga Yoga. He began his studies with Guruji that year and shortly thereafter went to study with him in Mysore in 1979. Prem was honored by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois and is Certified to teach the Primary, Intermediate and Advanced series. Prem completed a 4 year course of Ayurvedic study in 1984, with Dr. Vasant Lad and has been studying Tantric techniques since 1990. Besides teaching Ashtanga, Prem has just completed writing his first book, "The Only Way Out Is In," which is his commentary on the synergy of the three life sciences: Ashtanga Yoga, Ayuveda and Tantra. He travels around the world enthusiastically teaching about these three sciences.

Heather Duplex (yogawithheather.com) has been practicing Ashtanga Yoga for 18 years, beginning her yoga journey in 1990, with Chuck Miller and Maty Ezraty at Yoga Works in Santa Monica, Ca. She made her first trip to Mysore to study with Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in 1996, and was Authorized to teach by him in 2005. Along with traveling and studying in India, Heather practiced with Chuck and Maty and taught at Yoga Works, until 2006. Over the years she has also done abundant workshops and additional studies with teachers: Annie Grover Pace, Richard Freeman, Dena Kingsberg, Dona Holleman, and Gabrielle Gubilaro. Besides traveling and teaching ashtanga, Heather also has a passion for cooking and preparing food. She has studied some Ayurveda with Bri Maya Tawari, and Amadea Morningstar, as well as done courses with Paul Pitchford of "Healing With Whole Foods."

Prem and Heather have combined their efforts with Eagle to keep an ongoing mysore program happening on the island of Kauai. They will be teaching June through September 15th, 2008. read more

Prem and Heather have a combined practice and teaching experience of almost 50 years in the arts of Ashtanga yoga, Ayurveda and Tantra. They love to share their experiences together in the mysore room as well as through workshops and intensives in these areas. Working in the mysore room, Prem and Heather give lot of one-on-one attention to people and want people to learn more than just "asana, " but how to make the practice work for a person's own body and individual needs. Although they teach traditionally without props, they do emphasize the importance of correct alignment for an injury-free practice. They bring a fun, joyful manner to the class. They will also offer Ayurveda and Tantra workshops with Ashtanga Yoga, to teach people how to use all three in daily living! Some of these intensives will include: Bio-energetics of Asana: The Power of Form and Function; Moving from the inside-out: The Exploration of Bandhas and Breath; Asana, Pranayama and Adjustment clinics: A Practical laboratory for understanding the principles of Ashtanga Yoga. Ayurveda: food preparation, cooking, nutritional guidance, and other lifestyle practices. Tantra: The Deepening of one's Energies through Asana, Pranayama and Meditation; Exploring Sacred Sexuality through Tantric Techniques.

Prem and Heather will be doing International Retreats in Southeast Asia: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Ongoing Workshops, Intensives and Teacher Trainings.

Prem and Heather have combined their efforts with Eagle to keep an ongoing mysore program happening on the island of Kauai. They will be teaching June through September 15th, 2008.

"99% practice and 1% theory"

— Sri K. Pattabhi Jois of Mysore, India

"Yoga says experience. Just like science says experiment, yoga says experience. Experiment and experience are both the same, their directions are different. Experiment means something you can do outside; experience means something you can do inside. Experience is an inside experiment."

— OSHO

"For GRACE to happen, seeking has to stop, but the seeking stops by GRACE. It is a double-bind." "The process of seeking starts with the individual and continues until there is the total understanding that the individual just doesn't exist."

— Ramesh S. Balsekar

"Yoga is existential, experiential, experimental. No belief is required, no faith is needed-only courage to experience."

— OSHO

"If the quality of our consciousness in this moment determines the future; What is it that determines the quality of consciousness?"
