This video is a sample of Geeta Iyengar (BKS’s daughter) conducting a medical yoga class in Pune at the Ramamani Iyengar Yoga Institute. It’s a great way to see the entirely different approach that Iyengar yoga brings to the practice for medically therapeutic purposes, and to see the style of instruction and general feel of the institute where many of YGSF’s teachers study. The approach is fascinating to many of us who teach Iyengar yoga, especially as we see others transformed through these practices or experience personal transformation through medically therapeutic practice.

Cynthia Bates is sharing her experiences from a recent trip to Pune this Sunday. Click here for more information.

Thanks to IYISF for sharing this link.

Dear Yogis,

Each week, we send out a newsletter sharing happenings around the studio, new classes and teachers, workshops, and upcoming teacher training programs.

This week, we decided to take a time-out to say thanks and express our gratitude towards our students. We are so grateful that you share your practice with us. Each day, we acknowledge the support you give to each other. It’s beautiful to watch the community grow. Every time you show up to classes, it lights us up. Quite simply, you inspire us.

Our slogan is “The only thing we care more about than yoga is you”.  We hope you know that we sincerely mean this.

Shine on,

The Staff at Yoga Garden

“Yoga teaches us to use the body as a bow, the asana as an arrow, and the soul as a target” – B.K.S. Iyengar

Danae radiates a playful spirit while honoring the sacredness of Yoga. Last week she incorporated moon salutes into the flow in honor of the Blue Moon.
