“By the practice of pratyahara, he wins freedom from attachment and emancipation from desire and becomes content and tranquil.” B.K.S. Iyengar, Light on Yoga.

Inspired by Pratyahara (withdrawal of the senses), the fifth of Patañjali’s eight limbs of yoga, and considered a bridge from the outer to the inner quest, we will explore how, in our asana practice, we can draw our attention inward and away from the constant sensory input from the outside world. By drawing our senses of perception inwardly, we are able to experience the silence and quietness of the mind.

This class is open to all levels and will be taught in both English and Spanish.

Esta clase será impartida en inglés y español y es para todos los niveles de práctica.

Let’s use our Asana practice to explore and investigate within!

Practice Without Borders!

Props needed: 2 blocks, 1 yoga chair, 1 belt, 1 bolster, 5-6 yoga blankets.

Happy Anniversary! Today marks the one year anniversary of the physical re-opening of our institute. We would like to thank all of the members of our community who made this possible! This includes people locally and globally who supported and continue to support our nonprofit institute. The institute proudly serves people of all backgrounds, both in person and online, through a wide array of classes, specialty courses, workshops, and community donation-based classes.

It’s been a wonderful year! We’ve welcomed new faces, forged new bonds, and deepened ones that have existed for decades. We are grateful to Iyengar yoga, to our guru BKS Iyengar, for bringing us all together. Pranams to BKS Iyengar.

☀️BKS Iyengar famously said, “If you open the armpits, the brain becomes light. You cannot brood or become depressed.” Certain sequences and ways of practicing can help boost spirits. This community class explores ways that āsanas can support emotional well-being. Though we can always improvise, two chairs would be helpful for this class for people joining from home.

A class of basics that is anything but basic! Let’s explore the FUNdamentals of Iyengar Yoga in an energetically flowing Iyengar Yoga class.

Meet Miriam:

Miriam began her study of Iyengar Yoga in 2001 at IYILA. Drawn to the precision of instruction and dedication to practice, Miriam’s interest was piqued. After completion of the Three Year Teacher Training Course at IYILA under the tutelage of Karin O’ Bannon, Diane Gysbers and Jim Benvenuto, Miriam received her Iyengar Yoga Teaching certification in 2007. Miriam has been mentored by Marla Apt and Anna Delury. She has attended conferences with both BKS Iyengar and Geeta Iyengar in the US, and traveled to India to study with the Iyengar family in Pune in 2007. Miriam holds a BA from UCLA in Dance Performance and Choreography and spends her free time with her two boys and husband enjoying life in Los Angeles.
