I first visited a shala in September 08, a year and a half after I'd begun practicing Ashtanga. I went two Sundays in a row and haven't been since, though, just recently, I've started to think about going again (though still haven't been).
Which raises some questions.
Why did it take a year and a half before I first went to a Shala?
What made me want to go when I finally did go?
What did I think of it?
Why did I stop going after only two classes?
Why haven't I been since?
What's making me think I want to go to a Shala now?
Been thinking about this all week but am still confused about it myself, which is why I haven't written on it yet. Perhaps if I break it up into the above questions I can approach it that way.

Actually, I've been thinking about the same thing too. David Swenson is coming and I'm trying to decide to go. Will it make me better, I wonder? I've grown so accustomed to home practice that I really view it as a private affair now. Yay or nay?
Hi Cory. Workshops seem separate somehow, can't imagine it would interfere with my home practice in the way that visiting a shala might. people come from different shalas, different teachers so i can;t imagine you get the 'this way or the highway attitude'. I would have liked to have gone to one of David's a couple of years ago.
The only workshops I'm interested in at the moment are David Williams and Maju Jois', i think because i'm quite interested in the early days
