The afternoon is designed to include different facets of yoga practice (asana, pranayama, philosophy) and will be interactive and interpersonal. The registration is limited to 12 students who have been practicing yoga in the tradition of B.K.S. Iyengar for a minimum of 1 year. Practicing with an intimate group of like-minded practitioners is aways inspiring and nourishing. Speaking of nourishing, there will be tea and refreshments offered at the break!

"While practising the āsana, the [practitioner] must carefully and minutely observe and adjust the position of the muscles, muscle fibres and cells, measuring lightness or heaviness, pakṣa or pratipakṣa, as required for the performance of a healthy and well balanced āsana. … The internal measuring and balancing process which we call pakṣa pratipakṣa is in some respects the key to why yoga practice actually works, why it has mechanical power to revolutionize our whole being. It is why āsana is not gymnastics, why prāṇāyāma is not deep breathing, why dhyāna is not self-induced trance.” --B.K.S. Iyengar, Light on the Yoga Sūtras of Patañjali, commentary on II.33
