Greg
Greg took his first yoga class in Ottawa 2001. He began practicing Ashtanga yoga in 2003 after moving to Victoria where, along with a few friends, tried to learn as best he could in the absence of a teacher. A workshop with Nancy Gilgoff that same year inspired him to commit to a daily practice. He made his first trip to Mysore in 2006 where he had the good fortune to spend three months practicing with Pattabhi Jois in one of his last years of teaching and a further two months practicing with Sharath in what is now Saraswati’s shala. Over the next ten years he made nine trips to Mysore, including the 2014 Teacher’s Course. In 2011 he was granted authorization to teach and assisted Sharath in the main Shala. He recently started practicing the first posture of Advanced A.
Yujung
Yujung began practicing yoga in 2003 and started her Ashtanga practice in 2007 after participating in a workshop with Yang Joong-Seok. That same year she traveled to Japan to attend Sharath’s Tokyo workshop. In May 2008, she did Sharath’s workshop again, this time in Hong Kong. That same year she made her first trip to Mysore where she stayed for three months. She returned again in 2010 and 2011 when she was granted authorization to teach. She has made a total of 8 trips to Mysore, including the 2014 Teacher’s Course. Yujung is currently working her way through the Advanced A series.
