Delighted to welcome back Christine Stein from India. Iyengar yoga teachers are students first, always deepening their study of the practice.

Join Chris as she teaches the art and science of Pranayama. Basically, Prana means life force and ayama means expansion. So through techniques related to breathing, the practice of pranayama supports vital energy. Pranayama refreshes the body, focuses the mind to help spirits soar. She teaches a two hour class, online and in-person Sunday, Sept 20th and an ongoing online only pranayama class Mondays at 7am Pacific US.

There is an area of our spine—no longer in our upper not yet in our lower back—that resists length and space and freedom. This area, this “thickness” of the spine, can affect the neck and shoulders, the hips and sacrum, as well as the nervous system. In this Sunday’s Community Class join Timothy Grundy for a practice focused on creating space in this part of the back. Through modifications in poses and use of props, this typically “stiff” part of the back will soften and become more open. All levels welcome. ONLINE only.

Our Sunday community class is open to all as part of our ongoing efforts to keep Iyengar yoga accessible. This is a donation based class where the topic and the teacher change weekly. Please note that the recordings of the community class are viewable for two days only.

This class explores the relationship between abhyāsa (steady practice) and vairāgya (non-attachment), the two essential pillars of yoga described in Yoga Sūtra 1.12. Through a progressive sequence of āsanas, cultivate precision, resilience, and awareness while releasing attachment to outcomes. Rather than striving to achieve a pose, discover how patient, consistent practice creates greater integration and ease.

All levels welcome. Our Sunday community class is open to all as part of our ongoing efforts to keep Iyengar yoga accessible. Your generosity goes a long way towards supporting the art and science of Iyengar yoga through our nonprofit institute. Your donations are also tax-deductible. The topic and teacher of this donation based class changes weekly. Recordings available for 48 hours.
