iyengar yoga

Over the years, with my yoga students, I have repeatedly stressed developing the ability to become focused & not be moved by external forces. I encourage them to remove the influences of smell, touch, sound, vision and taste so that "one can see roses where there are roses & thorns where there are thorns." I invite them to develop a state of pratyahara.

 

And if you've attended one of my yoga classes you know that not only do I teach my students but also, I test my students. Regularly, I test my students on the sanskrit names of asanas. And now, once again,, I invite you to join us (each Sunday in August) as we challenge our minds.
