Join us August 20-23 for an auspicious weekend celebration of Iyengar Yoga on a date that coincides with the start of the 10-day Festival of Ganesh Chaturthi (August 21), celebrating the arrival of Ganesha on earth.

Among his many titles, beloved, elephant-headed Ganesha, is the called the god of beginnings, invoked at the outset of any endeavor, journey, or life change. Also known as the remover of obstacles, Ganesh will inspire our weekend of practice, chanting, and reflection, and perhaps allow us a peek at states of joy in this challenging time.

Since the higher wisdom of Ganesha teaches that all obstacles are really internal, we will look at Patañjali’s sūtra 1.30, which lists those mental disturbances that can come between us and our practice of yoga. The wisdom the Bhagavad Gītā will be called upon to help us connect with yoga as equanimity (II.48)
Direct experience of these texts through chanting in Sanskrit will offer beginners and more seasoned practitioners alike an opportunity to resonate with the teachings in a unique way.
Philosophy study and chanting materials will be sent to participants. Six months of study of Iyengar Yoga will be assumed in the Asana and Pranayama classes. Alternatives will be offered to accommodate different levels of ability.

There will be a special topics class tonight on building immunity, 5:30-7. You can drop into the class, the fee is one of your pre-purchased classes plus $5, or $20.
