attended the Special Class I held in Woodstock New York on the occasion of Guruji’s

Winter is upon us, and the urge to hibernate or escape is here. Personally, I will be doing a mini escape for the next three weeks, but I’ll be back in time to sponsor this exciting Winter Intensive for Woodstockers, New York City escapees, and other vacationing yogis. Read all the way to the end for some significant discounts on registration. I will see you the first week in February.

Discover the Heart of Iyengar Yoga Practice
Winter Woodstock Iyengar Yoga Intensive
February 20-25, 2009

“It can be that over time many of us lose the heart for practice, the initial thrill. Practice becomes routine, somethine we have to do out of duty towards a system. Practice is then simply an accumulation of information and instructions. We forget the poetry and are only concerned with the words.”
–Christian Pisano

Come to Woodstock & join international senior Iyengar teachers for a fluid intensive of yoga classes designed for you to discover the heart of your practice.

Now I regret going for only 3 weeks!
I will miss most of REAL India in my short holiday in the sun….

The website is amazing. Study questions and all. Expect a pop quiz when I get back! I’ll answer your questions about India then… and give my commentary on the program.

I’m off to India early Saturday morning. Here is the sub info for the month of January. I will return on February 2nd. My first class back will be Wednesday, February 4th. Please note the time change for Wednesday Class for the months of January & February.

On questionable SNOW DAYS please call the Sub Teachers directly, most of them are coming from the other side of the river. Confirm they are teaching. For Bios of the teachers, go here.
