The practice of pranayama is an awakening process involving techniques that give us ways to observe the breath, the flow of energy within the body, and prana—vital life force. By observing and carefully changing the natural breath we create the possibility to transform ourselves. With regular practice, the breath opens, our spirits are lifted, and our awareness of the inner spaces of the mind are expanded with quietude and equanimity.

This hybrid series will support your regular practice of pranayama with supine and seated techniques. Open to those who have completed an Iyengar Yoga pranayama course. Class sessions will be recorded; students will have access to the recordings for 28 days.

In Iyengar yoga, working on the body and breath to discover the mind involves a journey described as going from the periphery to the core, from the gross to the subtle, from external to internal, from evolution to involution, from the intelligence of the brain to the intelligence of the heart and/or from effort to effortlessness.  In these classes Chris will help you progress on that journey by making connections within the body and between yoga poses, demonstrating how to integrate the body, mind and breath to move from action to sensitivity and from sensitivity to reflection.

Workshop hours:
Friday, November 6: 4:00 – 6:00 PM
Saturday, November 7: 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM and 4:00 – 6:00 PM
Sunday, November 8: 10:00 AM – 1:00 PM

Chris feels that practicing yoga throughout life is important because it is really about awareness in everything that you do. Though the physical benefits are most apparent in the beginning of a practice, the mental and emotional benefits are what sustain a person through life. Yoga becomes a lifestyle that is enhanced by awareness of habits, motives, and modes of communication that can be changed for the better. Transformation really is possible when we begin to understand ourselves better!

Thanks to her early training with BKS Iyengar in the medical classes, Chris is very adept at modifying poses for students, understanding their specific needs, and helping each student to reach new levels of physical and mental ease and awareness. Her love of teaching and concern for each individual is apparent.

Chris is a Level 4 Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher and has taught workshops and retreats in the US, Canada, and internationally.  She has also helped train dozens of teachers in her 40-plus years of teaching.
