Dear Linda, 

Thanks so much for your email. I enjoyed too your videos here - http://www.lindameacciyoga.com/seeksun2019

Could be interesting to teach 2-3 classes of Yoga per week in Pittsburgh 5-10 years from now, if I were to move back with a young family. And possibly to explore co-teaching a class re Angela & Victor's approach to co-teaching. (It's interesting to me to see where the BKS Iyengar's legacy with the Yoga school he started in 1975 in Pune, India, has gone, - in Google Street View -https://www.google.com/maps/place/Ramamani+Iyengar+Memorial+Yoga+Institute/@18.533582,73.838649,15z/data=!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x256821ed070d8e28!8m2!3d18.533582!4d73.838649 - and where his daughter Geeta or perhaps now only his son now are its heads, I think - "Its directors are Yogacharya B.K.S. Iyengar, Geeta S. Iyengar and Prashant S. Iyengar" (http://bksiyengar.com/modules/Institut/RIMYI/rimyi.htm). BKS Iyengar seems to have created a financially successful school as well, and careers for Iyengar teachers - https://iynaus.org/study/teachers - and schools too, all around the world as well; I was able to find Janet MacLeod, Julie Lawrence, and Julie Gudmestad, but not Manouso Manos, in this directory just now, for example). Angela and Victor continue to teach around the world and in their Yoga center in Eftalou on Lesvos in Greece, and ask interesting questions - http://www.angela-victor.com/content/who-are-we-anyway - as well :) 

Would love to keep this conversation open for the future, Linda. 

Namaste, Scott

Dear Scott,

Very nice to hear from you. Are you still living on the West Coast? When you visit the 'burgh? I have my plate pretty full at the moment but I'm always open to collaborating. What venues are you most comfortable teaching in?

What are you most interested in teaching these days?

If you have any collaboration ideas, put them out there.

Many thanks for reaching out.

Peace

Linda

Possibility of a second retreat in Tuscany this fall. View this email in your browser April 24, 2019 Dear Friends and Fellow Yogis, Retreat is sold out: We had a great response to the announcement of our “il dolce momento” Tuscany Yoga Retreat (Oct 19-26, 2019), and all the spots have been filled. (If you missed the original retreat announcement, please see below for more information.) Possibility of a second retreat: We are now considering the possibility of offering a second retreat at the same venue, Locanda Cugnanello, either the week before or the week after the Oct 19-26 retreat, with a similar itinerary. Whether we do this or not depends on the level of interest and what we can arrange with the retreat venue. Let us know if you’re interested: If you think you might still be interested in attending a Tuscany retreat this October, we’d ask that you please fill out a one-minute survey to let us know your interest level and preference of dates.

REGISTRATION NOW OPEN il dolce momento  Tuscany Yoga Retreat with LINDA MEACCI, E-RYT 500 Radicondoli, Italy October 19-26, 2019 I came to realize why the Renaissance thrived in this region: it was the light. April 12, 2019 Dear Friends and Fellow Yogis, We are over the moon to announce our fall yoga retreat in Tuscany: il dolce momento (the sweet moment), to be held October 19 – 26, 2019, near the town of Radicondoli. We will be living and playing in the Tuscan hills, with a restored 800-year-old villa named Locanda Cugnanello as our home for the week. This experience is near and dear to my heart, because my father’s family is from the countryside of Toscana. I made my first visit when I was just nine years old, and that's when I saw my first olive tree and experienced for the first time the joy of playing in the summer light and warmth of the Tuscan sun. When I was a young adult I lived in Florence and spent weekends in the countryside with my cousins. In those years, I came to realize why the Renaissance thrived in this region: it was the light. It is the light that is so special. And the masterpieces, artisans, food, culture, people and the land itself fill you up with life! So now I am thrilled to be able to invite you to join me for il dolce momento in Tuscany this fall. We will experience many sweet moments together as we practice yoga and immerse ourselves in the history, culture and natural beauty of this land and the gracious hospitality of its people—exploring the countryside, towns and farms, and enjoying wines and culinary delights. No yoga experience is necessary---all are welcome to join us on this adventure! Retreat details can be found on the il dolce momento retreat web page. A few highlights are included below. Please consider joining me on this Tuscan adventure. I would love to practice, commune, laugh, explore, and share my love of Italy and the Tuscan hills with you!

VISIT THE RETREAT WEB PAGE THE VENUE: Locanda Cugnanello Cugnanello is an 800-year-old villa nestled in the Tuscan hills that has been tastefully renovated to provide modern creature comforts while retaining the charm and character of its medieval roots.

We'll also take time to visit a vineyard for a winery tour and wine-tasting.
