Instructor Spotlight, Gary Damsky Yoga has it's faithfuls and with Gary on board, those faithfuls are taking it to a whole new level in their practice. Gary specializes in leading students thru the practice of Ashtanga Yoga. Ashtanga is a modern-day form of classical Indian Yoga that holds pre-defined asanas for a specific number of breaths, incorporates bandha, which is muscle locking/contraction that focuses energy in the body and is closely tied to the breath.
Gary has been practicing Ashtanga for almost 20 years. He received his permission to teach Ashtanga from Sri K. Pattabhi Jois, who popularized this practice, in 2002. Gary has been to India five times, so if you are planning a trip, have a chat with him.
Gary moved to Mammoth from NYC and San Diego where he used to guide hundreds of students thru Ashtanga in highly-respected Yoga Studios. When he is not guiding his students thru their yoga practice, he can be found driving buses for Eastern Sierra Transit. He has his heavy-equipment operator's license and received his license to practice Acupuncture in 1995.
Gary teaches Intro to Ashtanga on Mondays and Wednesdays in the Mind/Body Room from 4-5:15PM. He also teaches Ashtanga Primary Series on Fridays at 5:30-7PM. Gary counts his students thru the Asanas in Sanskrit, corrects incorrect form and has them dripping in sweat from this intense practice that will take years, even decades to advance in.
If you are serious yoga student, then these classes are for you! We are grateful to have Gary on our team, so if you see him in the halls or are in one of his classes, please introduce yourself and welcome him to Snowcreek. |

Tessa Coker's Quinoa & Black Bean Salad
Big batch, at least 4 main course servings!
The following is a rough guideline, so let your imagination and taste buds run riot...
2 cups of quinoa, cook following instructions, best cooked in chicken broth
1 large can of black beans (rinsed and drained)
1 medium sweet red onion (purple, actually)
1 medium size jar of any sort of salsa (TJ peach or pineapple are particularly good and you can add extra canned, fresh or frozen fruit)
Mix it all up in a big bowl - very yummy. Can be consumed chilled or tepid (if you can't wait to eat it).
This is healthy with lots of protein (quinoa and beans) and low in fat. So eat it!
Tessa teaches Aqua Fit Mondays 9:30-10:30, Fridays 10-30-11:30 and Restorative Yoga Wednesdays 5:30-6:30, as well as Pilates semi-private Jumpboard on the Reformer Mondays at 5 p.m.
