Join us in Mission / Fraser Valley for a morning of twists and turns, highs and lows as we navigate some of the challenges of tight backs, groins and hamstrings. in forward bends and twists.

How do we help our students with these poses and perhaps move them forward with some hand-on adjustment? How can we work towards some of the more challenging poses or challenges in our own practice?

This month’s teacher gathering will take place in Mission at Rose Marie Rodden’s studio.

You’re welcome to bring your lunch or pre-order a vegetarian thali ($13.41) and we can eat together in the studio or at a nearby park. You can also buy free-range eggs for $5.00/dz. An order can be arranged for pick-up at the studio.

Let Rose know about eggs and the thali. Deadline for orders is Thursday, August 24th.

The theme of this one is summer fun! In this session, we will explore a few asanas that we might not regularly teach or even practice on our own. We will begin with a practice that prepares both body and mind, then focus on a small group of more challenging asanas and progressive approaches to deepen our understanding. Together, we will practice  different ways to guide one another by providing both support and a sense of direction. Bring your sense of adventure and exploration.

How can we transmit the joy of inversions to our students? With our focus on inversions and some asanas that prepare the body and mind for inversions, we will address common obstacles and ways to inspire exploration of this important family of asana. Grounded in practice and observation, we will practice a range of helping methods – from emphasizing specific instructions to safe use of props and hands-on adjustments.

Following the practice we invite you to stay and chat at one of the local coffee shops in the neighbourhood.

Please join us at Creekside Community Centre, Friday May 5 from 1 – 3pm. The theme for our May gathering, will be Helping Methods, Part I. This month’s focus is on the legs (feet, ankles, knees) and hips in standing, seated, and forward extension asanas. In a future gathering, Part II will focus on arms (wrists, elbows, shoulders) and neck in standing, twist, and inverted asanas.

Grounded in practice and observation, we will practice a range of helping methods – from emphasizing specific instructions to safe use of props and hands-on adjustments.

Paid parking is limited to 2 hours and strictly enforced. Consider taking public transit, walking or biking. The studio has numerous props including mats.

This month, Saturday April 29 from 12:30 – 2:30pm, we’re inviting you to join us in North Vancouver at Corrie Vorlaufer’s studio.  BKS Iyengar invented props so that everyone could benefit from yoga, even those with injuries or physical limitations. Corrie will take us through her station workshop.  This workshop uses many props and allows students to do a type of circuit training. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to come with your questions, learn with Corrie and see how she uses the props to assist her students.
