"There are days when it feels like my yoga practice is moving in the wrong direction.

A while ago, I looked at a photo from my practice and was startled to see how clearly my scoliosis showed itself. The asymmetry was undeniable — and I’ll admit, my first reaction was a mix of shock and fear. Even after years of improvement, that old worry surfaced: What if I’m slipping backward? What if I undo all the healing I’ve worked so hard for?"

I’ve been thinking about what we consider ‘advanced’ in yoga, and how different it looks from the outside versus how if feels from inside. I wrote a piece about it on Substack.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the topic too 🙏

This week, we're sharing a new blog post from the Iyengar Yoga Association of Canada/Association Canadienne de Yoga Iyengar: “A Logo that Balances Structure & Sensitivity”, by Espace Créé/Yoga Iyengar's Carla Ramirez, .tataryn, and Stephanie Tencer, the current leads of IYAC/ACYI’s Education Roundtable.

In the piece, they share how in Iyengar Yoga therapy, we hold space for both the clarity of structure and the openness of sensitivity—and how this interplay offers a framework for understanding the therapeutic dimension of practice.

It’s also a preview of what lies ahead at IYAC/ACYI's 2026 Forum in Toronto: Practice as Therapy (April 24-27). We'll be gathering to explore how personal practice, a therapeutic lens, and the lived experience all intertwine.

“The aim of this year’s event is to collectively explore the relationship between asana practice and therapeutic applications – how each informs the other, and how therapeutic principles can be a springboard for creative, insightful, and powerful explorations on the mat, for all practitioners.”

It is going to be a very special event!
