Our first dip into yoga begins with the body. As we become more sensitive, we refine outer shapes and open inner spaces. Perception seeps inward from what can be seen to what can only be felt. The mind becomes absorbed and the asana begins to blossom.

Over the course of this workshop, we will explore equanimity – from body considerations of gravity, direction, extension and expansion to breath and mind considerations that can enrich our experience in the moment and, importantly, provide buoyancy in life. We will study how breath awareness in asana prepares us for pranayama, and how pranayama, in turn, supports and complements our asana practice.

There will be plenty of time for questions, reflection, and sharing among friends in our community. Join us.

Sometimes, we stick with what we know, because well, it works. But sometimes, those tried and true yoga habits can actually stifle creativity and dim enthusiasm. Join Stephanie for a weekend of playful explorations that highlight the essence of ingenuity and adaptability in Iyengar Yoga.

The schedule is as follows:

• Friday, Nov 7 6:00 – 8:00pm
• Saturday Nov 8 9:30am – 12:00pm & 2:00 – 4:30pm
• Sunday, Nov 9 1:00pm – 4:00pm

This is a general all-level workshop for students with at least one year of Iyengar yoga practice. It is recommended that students with acute injuries or serious medical conditions do not attend.

Props: we are recommending that students bring their own props including a mat, 2 bricks, 1 strap and their Sarvangasana set up.

Should you wish to attend only a portion, please contact us and we will accommodate your needs if we can; but priority will be given to those who register for the full three day workshop.

Members receive priority registration and discounted fees – become a member.
Cost a concern? Apply for a bursary. We believe everyone should have the opportunity to attend workshops, regardless of financial circumstances.

Thank you for joining us at our annual general meeting.
We look forward to seeing you, Saturday November 30, 2pm at Deb’s Studio.
