EMOTIONAL STABILITY WORKSHOP

THIS IS THE SEQUENCE WHICH GURUJI GAVE IN HIS LATEST BOOK, LIGHT ON LIFE. This is the only asana sequence in the whole book, it would seem to me that this is what Guruji deems to be the most important thing which we need right at this time. Forward bends, back arches, inversions, are all part of the practice. held for longer periods of time. Its a good idea to have at least one year of Iyengar Yoga practice before taking this class, or ask Denise for if your ready.

RESTORATIVE YOGA ASANA WORKSHOP

Restorative Yoga postures require little or no physical effort. They are calming, nurturing, and especially valuable when you are "stressed out" or physically ill. While being modifications of classical postures which use musculature and vital organs to maintain alignment, these postures use props to simulate the shape and gain the benefits of the original pose. No prior yoga experience is necessary as each posture is individualized. Pre registration is a must.
