Studios in San Diego?

Are there any Studios near the airport in San Diego? I will be attending a wetland deliniation class there and would love to experiment with the studios around there. I saw Tim Miller is in Encinitas but don't know if I can make it there and back by 8 a.m, especially with trafic in the area.

Moving back to the Bay

First of all thaks for all the responses to the ? about yoga studios in San Diego.
One more week and I pack up and move back to the Bay Area. Happy to be back in the land of infinite classes and community. Does anyone in San Francisco need the services of a Biologist/Wetland Ecologist? Feeling a bit unsettled right now. One week from today I throw all my stuff in my car. I guess you could say the root chakra is feeling a bit disturbed. No job and and an undefined living situation also adding to that.
My practice has slowed way down. Been feeling pain around the top left hand side of my pelvic bone from front to back. I was wondering if I had a hernia or something, but internet resarch has proved unconclusive. Seems like hernias are closer to the midline of the body. It is there when I wake up but mostly gose away during the day. Fires up when I practice. Have been really working on inward rotation of the thighs as most of my life they have been rotated out. I will try not rotating that thigh in when I practice. Wonder if it is just the muscle and tendon moving to new spots or if it is something more. Will se the accupuncturist in SF when I get back but am hoping for something sooner. Maybe I will go to the Korean massage in LA.
Its funny today looking at everyones blogs and the article on health benefits. Most of the ashtangis (and yoga practicioners I know) are in great shape and take care of themselves more than the average. But I know I have injured my self a bunch and it sounds like I am not the only one. Not to say that injuries are bad. I think they are good teachers, shining the light on weaknesses in the body. Places that need some work, attention.
Just got a 9 CD set on non-violent communication. Can wait to tear into that. Have been listening to Byron Katie and she rocks my world. Loving what is. One quote is "when you argue with reality you only lose 100% of the time. Have been giving away my power and arguing with reality. No need for that.

Back on the Horse again

WheeW! Finally a good practice again! When I stand in Tadasana, my feet have never been together without my knees overlapping. My left leg especially is not straight, it acutally angles out slightly at the knee. A teacher about three month ago told me bring my feet together and they will straighten out. Well I tried that and it went well for a few months. My leg has straightened out. I think I was just over rotating my left thigh inwards, and caused some minor injury doing so. My practice today I kept my feet six inces apart, and felt good throughout. A little soreness through the day but feeling much better. Will wait a while until I put my feet back together. I didn't realize it fully, intill I sat here and wrote it down. I've heard that teaching yoga helps your practice, and you might say that writing about your practice helps your practice. Word Up!
