Pranayama Workshop - https://mailchi.mp/bb53c1419f38/pranayama-workshop

Join me for an exploration of the Junior Intermediate Iyengar Syllabus - a 16-week sequence of classes that will take us through deeper variations of familiar poses and introduce new arm balances and back extensions. The Iyengar tradition divides the poses into multiple syllabi which build on each other to safely progress to more advanced postures. Modifications will be given and step-by-step instructions will allow you to work at your own pace. Come discover the freedom of expansion in backbends and develop strength and confidence in arm balances. Better Living Yoga, Thursdays 9-10:15; Sundays 10:30-12. *Last week of each month will still be Restorative*

www.denisewendleryoga.com What are the hallmarks of Iyengar Yoga? (From Yoga Rahasya, Vol. 11, No. 2, 2004 an article about Prashant Iyengar's teaching) 1. Pre...cision and alignment - "If the body is aligned with precision then the breath is aligned with that same precision, if the breath is balanced then the mind, emotions and senses get balanced." 2. Timing - "One should stay in the asana as long as one is contemplative, reflective in that asana so that one becomes meditative in whatever asana one is performing." 3. Sequencing - "It is not just the asanas but how you perform them, how long you perform them and also the sequence in which they are performed that determine the effect of these asanas.] ... [One needs to understand the principles behind sequencing rather than memorizing the sequences alone!" 4. Props - "One should not be using a prop only as a crutch or a support but learn from the prop." 5. Hierarchy in practice - "We have to practice asana and progress in the hierarchy of our practice." A beginner's Trikonasana will be completely different than BKS Iyengar's Trikonasana. They are the same pose but the quality is totally different. The beginner's pose is on a skeletal level while BKS Iyengar would be in a state of meditation. The Trikonasana you do today will be totally different than the one you did when you were a beginner.
