Session Description:

Life is full of challenges & changes; some small, some huge and everything in between.  Yoga, particularly Iyengar Yoga, has been my pillar and safety net throughout these times.  I live with immense gratitude to those yoga teachers who have been a major influence in my life, especially Guruji B.K.S., Geeta and Prashant Iyengar.

For some, yoga practice waxes and wanes like the moon, an ebb and flow of strength and dedication to our daily practice, depending on what is happening in our lives.  It seems that sometimes our practice is strong and sometimes, just as importantly, maintenance. Though time spent on the mat may become less than we ever thought possible, perhaps we are still maintaining our yoga life-style through our choices, based on that which we have been learning since beginning our practice and study of yoga.

So, how do we get back to where we want to be in our practice, if that is even possible, after a major challenge or change in our life?  Is that what is really important?  What is Yoga?  Why Yoga?  How to Yoga?  In this class we will explore those questions and look for the answers within ourselves thriugh the teachings and philosophy of Yogacharya B.K.S. Iyengar.

Students of all levels and styles of yoga are welcome to attend this class.

Please have your yoga props within reach.  Those who don't have standard yoga props, don't worry, household items can be substituted.  It is, however, recommended to have a non-slip yoga mat.

Notes to Participants:

All levels of practitioners from any and all styles of yoga are welcome to participate in this class, which will be taught according to the teachings and philosophy of Yogacharya B.K.S. Iyengar.
