Ashtanga Yoga in İstanbul
Urban Beat
September 24, 2008
Where is home? For yoga instructor Dylan Bernstein, “Home is in my yoga practice.” He explains: “When I roll out a mat, I feel really grounded, I feel really centered and at home. I guess home is an internal place.”
Bernstein, who teaches Ashtanga yoga at Yoga Sala in Nişantaşı (www.yogasala.com), has been practicing yoga in Asia and Europe since 2001. Always interested in world religions, especially Zen Buddhist philosophy, Bernstein started yoga when he was a boy of 13 in, in the US. In 2001 he left his 10-year career in childhood education and moved to Vietnam. He moved to India in 2004 and studied Ashtanga yoga with Vijay Amaran in Dharamsala (in northern India). Read more…

Sarah Durney Opens Ashtanga Boise
Boise Weekly
Sept. 10 , 2008
by Johanna Kirk
This month, Sarah Durney threw open the doors of her new studio, Ashtanga Boise, the first local yoga venue with a daily Mysore practice. Competitive skier, rock climber, environmental studies student, firefighter, tango dancer, metal worker, special education teacher … Durney lives a life as multi-dimensional and fascinating as the postures she teaches in her classes. Although her life has unfolded in many directions, she’s remained consistently devoted to yoga since her teens. Yoga, which originally entered her life as a way to heal sports injuries, eventually inspired a spiritual journey that motivated multiple trips to India, where she studies at the Ashtanga Yoga Research Institute with the innovator of the practice, S.K. Pattabhi Jois and other yoga legends. She relocated to Idaho in 2006 after leaving her job with a Hotshot fire crew. On her most recent trip to India, she decided to open a studio in Boise.
