SPECIAL CLASS: Introduction to Pranayama
Saturday, December 20
9:30-11:30 AM

Pranayama—the expansion, extension, and regulation of the breath—is the 4th limb of classical ashtanga yoga and vital to yoga practice. It calms the nervous system, increases vitality, and prepares the mind for meditation.

What to expect:
This special class will include a discussion of the philosophy and theory of pranayama as well as an exploration of asanas that prepare the body for breath work. We'll practice several pranayama setups using props such as bolsters, blankets, and chairs to support your practice, allowing you to focus on the subtle movements of the breath without strain.

We'll begin with simple awareness techniques and progress through classical practices including ujjayi (victorious breath) and viloma (interrupted breath).
Come discover how conscious breathing can transform both your yoga practice and daily life.

"Pranayama is to Ashtanga yoga what the heartbeat is for a living organism. As respiration is fundamental to existence, pranayama is vital to yoga practice… Pranayama is the art of infusing every organ, every muscle, in fact, every cell of the body with vital energy." – B.K.S. Iyengar, Light on Yoga

"Yoga is like music: the rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind, and the harmony of the soul create the symphony of life." – B.K.S. Iyengar

A 'composer' in his own right, B.K.S. Iyengar touched the lives of millions around the world by bringing the 'music' of yoga to the masses. As a devoted student of T. Krishnamacharya, he transformed an ancient practice into a precise, accessible system that could heal and empower people of all abilities.

Informed by his personal experiences with severe childhood illness and a spinal injury later in life, Iyengar pioneered the use of props—blocks, belts, bolsters, and chairs—to develop a methodical system of therapeutic yoga. His innovations made yoga accessible to those who were injured, ill, elderly, or simply new to the practice, proving how yoga can meet each student exactly where they were.

Through his teaching, his books (including the landmark Light on Yoga), and the establishment of the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in Pune, India, Guruji created a legacy that continues to illuminate the path for practitioners worldwide. His devotion to precision, alignment, and the therapeutic power of yoga revolutionized how the world understands and practices this ancient art.

On his birthday, we honor the beloved Guru who changed yoga—and the world—forever. Happy birthday, Guruji! 🙏

"When this body has been so magnificently and artistically created by God, it is only fitting that we should maintain it in good health and harmony by the most excellent and artistic science of yoga." – Geeta Iyengar

An artist in her own right, Geeta Iyengar revolutionized yoga practice for women around the world. As the daughter of B.K.S. Iyengar and a master teacher herself, she dedicated her life to exploring how yoga can address the unique physical and emotional needs of women at every stage of life. Her groundbreaking work on yoga during menstruation, pregnancy, and menopause opened new pathways for women to practice with both strength and sensitivity.

Through her teaching, writing, and the countless students she mentored at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in Pune, India and around the world, Geetaji embodied the precision, devotion, and transformative power of yoga. Her legacy continues to guide practitioners toward greater self-understanding and inner harmony.

On her birth anniversary, we honor the woman who inspired millions of yogis around the world to find harmony within themselves. Happy birthday, Geetaji! 🙏

Meet the teachers of Hidden Wisdom Yoga! 🙏

This week's spotlight: Nicolo "Nicky" Fonte

Level 2 Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher Nicolo Fonte has been a dedicated Iyengar yoga practitioner for more than 20 years. He studies and mentors with Holly Kostura and has deepened his practice with Senior Iyengar teachers across the globe—from Europe to Australia to the United States.

Nicky earned his Level 1 certification in 2021, achieved Level 2 certification in 2024, and is now preparing for Level 3. He currently serves on the IYNAUS Continuing Education Committee, collaborating on educational and creative projects, including selecting the 2025 Coast to Coast T-shirt image.

In his classes, Nicky seamlessly weaves philosophy into practice. His instructions are clear and concise, never oversimplified, and he uses thoughtful demonstrations to deepen your understanding of the Iyengar method. As an internationally renowned choreographer and former professional dancer, he brings a unique appreciation for the joy of movement and the elation of feeling deeply connected to your body.

Yet Nicky profoundly believes that the path of yoga is ultimately an inward journey—not performative. Through the practice of asana and pranayama with exquisite awareness, he guides students to awaken a presence of mind that reveals the deeper, more subtle aspects of yoga as a journey toward the Self. 🕉️

Join Nicky for the Wednesday evening All Levels class, 6-7:30 PM, beginning December 3rd. Visit the link in our bio to reserve your spot! ✨

As we enter into this season of Thanksgiving, we're reflecting on what it means to cultivate contentment—both on and off the mat. 🧡

When we practice contentment (santosha), we open ourselves to deeper gratitude: for our bodies and their capabilities, for our practice and its lessons, and for both the blessings and challenges that shape our journey.

We wish you peace, presence, and contentment this Thanksgiving. 🙏

🕉️ REMINDER: Join us for a special restorative class on Wednesday, November 26 from 5:30-7PM. The class is filling up quickly, so reserve your spot today at the link in the comments.

“Through cultivation of friendliness (maitri), compassion (karuna), joy (mudita), and indifference (upeksa) to pleasure and pain, virtue and vice, respectively, the consciousness becomes favorably disposed, serene, and benevolent.” - Yoga Sutra I.33

BKS Iyengar likens these four key attitudes to the four chambers of the heart, and notes their power to balance the intelligence of the head with that of the heart. The four attitudes also help to: cultivate meaningful relationships with ourselves and others; attain peace by lessening our sense desires; and create lucidity in the mind.

We can encounter these attitudes in our asana practice by seeking the essence of the pose, rather than just the shape, as Prashant Iyengar notes. In her latest blog post, Hidden Wisdom Yoga owner and Level 2 CIYT Alison Lintal demonstrates how how these four attitudes can be connected to the following poses:

Urdhva Prasarita Padasana = Maitri (friendliness with ourselves)
Dandasana = Karuna (sitting with discomfort)
Setu Bandha Sarvangasana = Mudita (heart-opening joy)
Parsvottanasana = Indifference (balance & reflection)

What poses embody these four attitudes for you? Drop your thoughts in the comments! 👇
