Time to recharge and renew your vitality
These are tough times and we're all struggling to stay healthy in body, mind, and spirit.
Whether you're still feeling the pandemic or not, the stress and uncertainty of today's world is affecting everyone's wellbeing.
To find balance and stay healthy, we've had to change our daily routines. Yoga practitioners around the world have discovered online classes and workshops helping keep us steady and strong, inside and out.
Iyengar Yoga has always innovated new ways of teaching and learning yoga, adapting to fit individual needs and abilities. More than ever, we need this holistic and personalized approach to restore our vitality for life.
For these reasons, I've created a monthly yoga membership - an online learning program that includes monthly live 2-hour classes, workshop talks, Q +A sessions, support and accountability for your yoga practice with flexibility to fit into your life. Every online session is recorded, so if you can't join live, you can enjoy your lessons anytime and anywhere, on the membership portal filled with recordings and resources to support you and your yoga practice.
Trying to do it all alone is exhausting
" It's hard for me to be consistent and stay inspired with my yoga practice. "
"I've decided that I have to make big changes in my work/life balance."
"I need to focus differently on my health."
These are some of the feelings that I've heard from yoga students since the pandemic began. People have been reflecting on their lives pre-Covid and while many want to "go back," others see times have changed forever.
I've been teaching Iyengar yoga for 30 years, helping people of all ages, backgrounds, and health conditions improve their health and wellbeing. During this time, I've seen our lives become more fast-paced and complicated, bringing different illnesses and problems. Our yoga practice, teaching, and learning has needed to evolve to address the current needs and life demands.
In 1998, I began offering yoga retreats and workshops to give people extra time to devote to yoga. Almost 20 years later, I took some of these workshop themes online and made home practice videos for my students.
More and more I heard from people that they were looking for new ways to go deeper into yoga and find ways to balance their practice and study with busy, complicated lives.
I developed the Sadhana Circle Online, a monthly membership to help yoga practitioners explore the breath and depth of yoga within the structure of a supportive community.
And the Teachers Circle, for yoga teachers to exchange and help each other with questions and themes around teaching yoga. Through these immersive programs, you will take a trip that involves working on your inner self as well as your physical body.
Shifts happen with consistent and thoughtful practice and guidance.
I look forward to sharing yoga techniques with you that you can carry into life.

There's a new way to weave yoga into your life
Online yoga offers flexibility to adapt practice to our lives.
Many people are getting tired of online yoga. We live complicated lives, juggling a lot of responsibilities and commitments, and at the same time crave peace of mind and good health.
Yoga online gives us the ability to experience classes with experienced teachers without going to a yoga studio. A monthly online yoga membership gives you consistent time for yourself, to listen to your own needs and gain clarity on yoga and yourself.
This will be time away from your day-to-day life (while still being in your life!) to help you feel refreshed, renewed, and re-inspired.
Practice where ever and when ever YOU want
Participate early in the morning from your living room or .... in the evening from your garden (if it's warm outside)!
We can't always make it to class. Sometimes there isn't an experienced teacher where we live or life gets in the way. Time goes by and we wish we had been able to do more yoga.
Recorded practices, workshop talks, and Q + A sessions will restart or reinvigorate your yoga studies and practice when the time is right for you.
You will be taken month by month, how to help heal common health concerns and increase vitality.
You can either attend the live sessions or listen to the recordings. Some practice recordings you might enjoy so much and will listen to them again and again!
The Sadhana Circle Online membership and Teachers Circle gives you the freedom to explore deeper aspects of yoga with the help of an experienced teacher -- when and where is right for you.
A tool kit for your health and healing
Iyengar yoga is at both methodical and creative!
Within class and from class to class, the safe and systematic progression of asanas—demonstrated with specific teaching points fosters intelligent action—developing each student’s strength, flexibility, stamina, and alignment.
Extensive use is made of yoga props—including blocks, belts, bolsters, blankets, and chairs—which enables students of varying levels of strength and flexibility to work safely and accurately in the asanas. Individual corrections and adjustments are made when necessary.
In the Sadhana Circle Online, you will get, in addition to the classes and Q + A sessions, extra resources, guidance, and get personal feedback on your practice.
In the Teachers Circle, you'll have the opportunity to find out how to help students with specific problems or navigate teaching yoga today.
By providing a firm foundation for health and well-being, Iyengar yoga gives everyone knowledge to overcome and prevent many stresses, strains, aches, and pains. Practicing yoga in a way that supports the whole self.
Often referred to as “meditation in action” and firmly rooted in ancient Indian tradition as defined in Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras, Iyengar Yoga uses the physical reality of the body to access the deeper levels of the mind, uncovering the connection between body and mind while profoundly transforming both.
Everything you'll need for the journey!
