She is the co-founder of Jivamukti Yoga Studio and School in New York.  I had been drawn to their practice in the past and have really enjoyed some of the classes taught by Jivamukti teachers. I especially enjoyed classes taught by Giselle Mari who teaches in San Francisco-Silicon Valley- Bay Area. Her cues are perfect, her playlist is joyful&#8230; but unfortunately, having developed this weird vertigo in recent years, I have been shy about going back out of fear of inversions &#8211; lately, any highly flowy or faster paced classes make my head swirl and whirl&#8230; and who needs a spinning class rather than yoga, when your head is indeed spinning enough &#8211; apparently too much fluid in my ear &#8211; triggered by air travels, high sodium diet (no more soy sauce on sushi, et al), inordinate stress. Yet for the rest of us, that is, for anyone in good health, I highly recommend her class for the pure joy, sunny positive energy, that exuberance she brings with her charisma, intelligence and kindness.  <\/p>\n<p>Her mentor, Sharon Gannon&#8217;s book on Vegan Cooking is hot off the press and to promote it, Sharon Gannon, herself is coming to San Francisco for a book signing engagement. While I understand that the book signing and practice on October 18th is sold out; because it&#8217;s sold out, there may be a session added on Sunday, so don&#8217;t give up hope:) What a treat:)as I have heard about her and seen her on videos but have never directly had the chance to take a class from her &#8211; figuring Giselle channels her beautifully; but I love cooking (Eating more so) and have been exploring Macrobiotics cooking from some of the finest local Japanese teachers (Fumi Arao-sensei, Fumi-sensei, Shinobeau-sensei) and Yukie Kawase-sensei, Japanese Vegan cooking from up and coming Rising Star, Ryoya-sensei, I am so ready to study her book and give her recipes a try!!!  If I can&#8217;t go all out for the asana practice due to my head swhirling with dizzy spells &#8211; makes for an interesting  psychedelic-ish practice &#8211;  I am going to definitely give these recipes a try as soon as I get my hands on this much talked about book next Saturday:)  SO exciting.  What kind of non-vegan gets so excited about a vegan cook book?  An aspiring or just an admiring one iThink.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/wagayoga.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/sharonshrink.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/wagayoga.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/sharonshrink.jpg\" alt=\"sharonshrink\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4928\" srcset=\"http:\/\/wagayoga.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/sharonshrink.jpg 480w, http:\/\/wagayoga.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/sharonshrink-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 100vw, 480px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Who is Sharon Gannon?
