Iyengar Yoga Studies
January 25 & February 29
$80
This ongoing program is for serious students with an interest in developing a better understanding of Iyengar Yoga. Bring greater depth and breadth to your yoga practice by studying all eight limbs of yoga—not just asana. Meeting twice quarterly, we’ll discuss key concepts from the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali and the Bhagavad Gita with an emphasis on how these ideas are relevant to the practice of asana. Topics and readings will be assigned beforehand to help enrich our discussions.
Iyengar Yoga Studies is offered each quarter throughout the year. Students may join at the beginning of any quarter. For greater continuity and to enhance the learning process and community development, students are encouraged to participate on an ongoing basis.

Iyengar Yoga for the Knees
Roberto Astorga
Saturday, March 14
1:00 – 3:30 pm
$45
Two years ago, doctors diagnosed me with a torn meniscus. My range of motion was limited and
I was in a lot of pain. The doctors recommended surgery, although they reported that the
outcome was not definitive and that they could not guarantee a full recovery.
Once again, Iyengar yoga and its amazing power of healing provided me with the tools to
overcome discomfort and pain, improve my range of motion and most importantly, I was able to
return to my personal and teaching practices.
I want to share my experience with you. Join me on this workshop and learn the application of
Iyengar yoga in the complementary treatment of knee pain.
Space is limited to 15 participants because I am going to utilize the knee rods, a prop designed
by BKS to facilitate healing, create space and reduce inflammation on the ligaments of the knee.
