"When this body has been so magnificently and artistically created by God, it is only fitting that we should maintain it in good health and harmony by the most excellent and artistic science of yoga." – Geeta Iyengar

An artist in her own right, Geeta Iyengar revolutionized yoga practice for women around the world. As the daughter of B.K.S. Iyengar and a master teacher herself, she dedicated her life to exploring how yoga can address the unique physical and emotional needs of women at every stage of life. Her groundbreaking work on yoga during menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause opened new pathways for women to practice with both strength and sensitivity.

Through her teaching, writing, and the countless students she mentored at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in Pune, India and around the world, Geetaji embodied the precision, devotion, and transformative power of yoga. Her legacy continues to guide practitioners toward greater self-understanding and inner harmony.

On her birth anniversary, we honor the woman who inspired millions of yogis around the world to find harmony within themselves. Happy birthday, Geetaji! 🙏

Meet the teachers of Hidden Wisdom Yoga! 🙏

This week's spotlight: Nicolo "Nicky" Fonte

Level 2 Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher Nicolo Fonte has been a dedicated Iyengar yoga practitioner for more than 20 years. He studies and mentors with Holly Kostura and has deepened his practice with Senior Iyengar teachers across the globe—from Europe to Australia to the United States.

Nicky earned his Level 1 certification in 2021, achieved Level 2 certification in 2024, and is now preparing for Level 3. He currently serves on the IYNAUS Continuing Education Committee, collaborating on educational and creative projects, including selecting the 2025 Coast to Coast T-shirt image.

In his classes, Nicky seamlessly weaves philosophy into practice. His instructions are clear and concise, never oversimplified, and he uses thoughtful demonstrations to deepen your understanding of the Iyengar method. As an internationally renowned choreographer and former professional dancer, he brings a unique appreciation for the joy of movement and the elation of feeling deeply connected to your body.

Yet Nicky profoundly believes that the path of yoga is ultimately an inward journey—not performative. Through the practice of asana and pranayama with exquisite awareness, he guides students to awaken a presence of mind that reveals the deeper, more subtle aspects of yoga as a journey toward the Self. 🕉️

Join Nicky for the Wednesday evening All Levels class, 6-7:30 PM, beginning December 3rd. Visit the link in our bio to reserve your spot! ✨

As we enter into this season of Thanksgiving, we're reflecting on what it means to cultivate contentment—both on and off the mat. 🧡

When we practice contentment (santosha), we open ourselves to deeper gratitude: for our bodies and their capabilities, for our practice and its lessons, and for both the blessings and challenges that shape our journey.

We wish you peace, presence, and contentment this Thanksgiving. 🙏

🕉️ REMINDER: Join us for a special restorative class on Wednesday, November 26 from 5:30-7PM. The class is filling up quickly, so reserve your spot today at the link in the comments.

“Through cultivation of friendliness (maitri), compassion (karuna), joy (mudita), and indifference (upeksa) to pleasure and pain, virtue and vice, respectively, the consciousness becomes favorably disposed, serene, and benevolent.” - Yoga Sutra I.33

BKS Iyengar likens these four key attitudes to the four chambers of the heart, and notes their power to balance the intelligence of the head with that of the heart. The four attitudes also help to: cultivate meaningful relationships with ourselves and others; attain peace by lessening our sense desires; and create lucidity in the mind.

We can encounter these attitudes in our asana practice by seeking the essence of the pose, rather than just the shape, as Prashant Iyengar notes. In her latest blog post, Hidden Wisdom Yoga owner and Level 2 CIYT Alison Lintal demonstrates how how these four attitudes can be connected to the following poses:

Urdhva Prasarita Padasana = Maitri (friendliness with ourselves)
Dandasana = Karuna (sitting with discomfort)
Setu Bandha Sarvangasana = Mudita (heart-opening joy)
Parsvottanasana = Indifference (balance & reflection)

OPENING THE HEARTSPACE: Backbends with Nicky Fonte

Sunday, November 23, 2025 10 AM - 12 PM $40 or 2 class credits

"Backbends naturally lead to the real aspects of life and the higher aspects of yoga." — BKS Iyengar, Astadala Yogamala

Backbends (Purva Pratana Sthiti) keep the body both vigorous and supple while making the mind alert, spirited, and light. They uplift us, creating joy, grace, and vitality in body, mind, and spirit.

Join Level 2 CIYT Nicky Fonte in this 2-hour workshop where we'll work progressively from supported toward unsupported backbends. Poses that open the shoulders, chest, and frontal hips create the necessary foundation for understanding how all backbends are accessed.

As we approach more vigorously intense backbends such as Urdhva Dhanurasana and Dwi Pada Viparita Dandasana, we'll explore how to maintain balanced "zeal" with equanimity and poise while fostering positivity throughout.

This workshop is open to Intermediate Level students who love backbends—and to those who might fear them! Learn to effectively overcome obstacles. The ability to perform the final (classic) asanas is not required as modifications will be shown.

Come and open the doorway to your spiritual heart!

Got tech neck? Brain fog? Shoulder tension?

Forward head position from desk work and mental concentration can significantly increase stress on your neck and shoulders. This misalignment can negatively affect your breathing, balance, memory, and even your ability to perform mental tasks involving physical movement.

Join us for FOCUSED CARE: YOGA FOR NECK & SHOULDERS, a 4-week series to release tension and restore alignment.
Saturdays, 9:30-11 AM | November 15 + 22 and December 6 + 13

COST: $100 for the full series
BONUS: Those who register for the full series receive a FREE Restorative class on Wednesday, November 26 from 5:30-7 pm.

When the head is properly aligned, its weight is distributed correctly on the cervical spine, reducing strain and improving overall function.

This series will focus on practical methods for reducing tension, alleviating stiffness, and minimizing the effects of stress in the neck and shoulders.

WE’RE COMMITTED TO MAKING YOGA ACCESSIBLE TO ALL:
Furloughed employees can use code "FURLOUGH" to attend class for free
If you have some ability to pay but can't afford full price, use code "YOGAEQUITY" for 50% off all class pricing

As many fellow yogis around the world celebrate Diwali -- the Hindu festival of light -- this week, we reflect on the light of yoga in our lives and the wisdom of Guruji B.K.S. Iyengar's profound words:

"Yoga is a light, which once lit, will never dim. The better your practice, the brighter the flame."

May the light of yoga shine brightly in your heart. Namaste.
