Ball is also a fine photographer. In addition, he is a Mathematician and Maths Tutor in London. He recently completed a major project with and for Pete Townsend of The Who, creating software based on Harmonic Math to create unique personality portraits in sound. The resultant CD “Method Music”, was produced for Ball by Bob Lord and Pete Townsend. “Method Music” and other CD’s will be available at the performance.

Goodbye 2015 and Hello 2016 from MGYS!
Please join us at 9:00am for a New Year’s Eve Practice.
Our lives and experiences are ever-changing, aren’t they? New Year’s Eve is a celebrated marker of transition and yoga is the practice of being present within a sea of change. In recognition of the two, we invite you to reflect on the past year, appreciate the present, and prepare to embark upon a new year from the welcoming space of Morning Glory Yoga Studio.
We practice today (everyday) as a way to develop a healthy body and calm mind, discover our true self, encourage connection, dissolve separateness, and promote compassion.
Happy 2016!
See you on the mat!
