After the passion you all exhibited in the Post Thanksgiving Digestion Class, let’s do it again and work off Christmas Dinner! Be prepared for a hot sweaty fast class. This class is open to all levels and students of all styles of yoga. But please, no absolute beginners or major injuries for this class. We will be moving too fast for your safety, and there won’t be time for individual attention. The sequence will be similar to Thanksgiving’s but a half hour shorter.  $15 or use your class card.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GURUJI B.K.S. IYENGAR!
91 YEARS YOUNG!!!

Woodstock will celebrate & honor him during the
Sunday, December 13, 9:30-11:00
General Level Class
Mountain View Studio

We will chant mantras for continued long life of Guruji, reminisce on his life and teachings, practice asasnas beloved by the yoga master himself and of course, birthday cards, candles and cake (?!)

All around the world, Iyengar Students are doing “3 for Bellur:” a suggested $3 extra donation for the Trust. I will be donating the proceeds of Sunday’s class as well.

The proceeds from Sunday’s class will go directly to the Bellur Krishnamachar & Seshamma Smaraka Niddhi Trust (BKSSNT). This Trust was formed by Guruji with a vision to serve his ancestral home in India, Bellur with all the necessities. This will help not only the villagers but also the children of villages near by Bellur. Some of the landmarks already achieved are a free hospital, water treatment facilities, India’s first temple dedicated to Patanjali, and the free primary and high school which supply uniforms, books and a hot lunch, often the children’s only meal of the day. From last year’s Birthday Class, we collected and donated $501 to the Trust!
