Mastering Chaturanga in Arms and Abs class! 💪

Yoga is one of the six classical Darshanas, which can be understood as reflective experiences. Just as a mirror reveals our face, yoga reflects our inner selves, helping us see more clearly.

Imagine you’re at a dinner party and get a bit of food stuck in your front teeth—you’d need a friend or a mirror to notice it. Similarly, using vertical bricks (as shown in the video) provides an external reference point, helping us understand our habits and tendencies more objectively.

✨ Next week’s theme: Back Bend Bliss!

Not quite ready to dive into detailed alignment? No problem! My Beginner and Beyond classes are a fun, movement-based way to build a strong foundation. Join us!

More than fifteen years ago, I stepped into my first yoga class hoping to learn how to sit still. I wanted a tool to help manage my busy mind so I turned to meditation—but what I found through Iyengar Yoga was so much more. It gave me a path, a practice, and a purpose.

Now, I’m inviting you to join me for a free, fun Iyengar Yoga session at the Wellness Tent during the Block Party in Seawalk Park, North Rustico—this Sunday, June 1st at 1 PM! Whether you're new to yoga or a long-time student, this session will be grounding, energizing, and accessible for all bodies and ages.

Let’s share movement, breath, and community in the sunshine. Bring a mat or towel—or just bring yourself. See you in the park!”**

Strong Foundations in Virabhadrasana II 💪🧘‍♀️

In this clip from our Intermediate Standing Poses class, we’re exploring how ankle alignment can awaken and strengthen the glutes and outer hip muscles in Virabhadrasana II (Warrior 2).

Watch as Charles guides a student to refine her ankle work—showing how precise action in the feet creates stability and power all the way up through the hips and buttocks.

This is the kind of intelligent, detail-oriented practice that Iyengar Yoga is known for—building strength from the ground up.

✨ Want to feel the difference in your own practice?
Join us for the new 6-week term starting this week!

Start Your Practice with Purpose 🧘‍♂️
What many know as Child’s Pose, we call Adho Mukha Virasana in Iyengar Yoga—and it’s more than just a resting shape.

With the head supported, this pose begins to cool the brain, turning awareness inward and preparing the mind for a more meditative state. It's the perfect way to transition from your day into your practice.

Try it with three blocks on their tallest height to create space:
✨ Back releases down
✨ Chest reaches forward
✨ Side ribs elongate

A simple setup with powerful effects.
Give it a try and tell me what you notice in the comments 👇

With over a decade of teaching experience, extensive yoga therapy training, and multiple study trips to India, Charles offers a unique opportunity to study with PEI’s only certified Iyengar Yoga teacher. His classes help students explore the postures (āsanas) as a path to understanding their bodies, applying intelligence, easing pain, and experiencing meditation in action.

🧘‍♀️ Whether you're a seasoned yogi seeking precision and depth, or a curious beginner wanting to build confidence and mobility—there’s a space for you here.

In this clip from my Beginners + Beyond class series, we explore how to safely and effectively rotate the pelvic bones over the thigh bones in Prasarita Padottanasana.

✨ This approach builds stability and mobility from the hips and buttocks—not the lumbar spine—protecting your back and deepening your practice.
🧱 Can’t reach the floor? No problem—use blocks to support your progress.
🔍In Beginners and Beyond we learn how smart techniques to lay the foundation for intermediate-level asanas.

📚 This series focuses on understanding essential actions and how to apply them across your practice for steady, sustainable growth.

New 6-week series is starting today! Tuesdays from 7-8PM and Saturdays from 10:45-11:45!

🍂 Welcome to September, here’s a yoga sutra from Pantajali to spark thought as we shift into a new month and the season of harvest and fall.

Yoga Sutra 4:3

The skillful means of transforming our fundamental natures comes as a result of [a masterful Teacher], who like a Farmer, tends to their plants [students] by skillfully removing what blocks the flow of water to them. The Farmer [Teacher] is instrumental in facilitating this transformation, but does not directly bring it about.
