“I do pray that my ending will be your beginning.” - BKS Iyengar in Light on Life

Guruji’s Punyatithi is a reminder to ourselves that he didn’t simply teach yoga but lived it all his life. He lit the path for us with his life so that we too could find our way.

RIMYI will commemorate the occasion with a continuation of the topic, “What is practice and what is sadhana?” by Prashantji.

In Ayurveda, the hot and humid summer months are associated with the Pitta dosha (hot, wet, mobile, and sharp in nature), which shares the same qualities as the season. During this time, our yoga practices benefit from dynamic yet cooling postures that promote calmness, coolness, and balance. I will introduce you to the basic principles of Ayurveda and explain how incorporating them into our practice can bring rejuvenation, groundedness, and harmony to the body, mind, and spirit. All levels welcome.

IYILA’s community classes are donation based. Your generous donation keeps the art, science, and legacy of Iyengar yoga thriving.

Join Becky Patel for a 2-hour class exploring the art and intelligence of twisting. Twisting āsanas create space in the spine, tone the abdominal organs, and restore mobility to the back and shoulders. Through the precision and support of Iyengar methodology, we’ll explore how to lengthen, stabilize, and rotate the spine safely and deeply.
Expect a progressive sequence that explores all categories of asana, including standing poses, forward extensions, seated and supine poses, as well as inversions. Props will be used to support alignment and enhance awareness, making the work accessible yet profound for any level of practitioner.
Experience the freedom, clarity, and lightness that twisting can bring—both physically and mentally.
All levels welcome.

Our Sunday donation based community class is open to all as part of our ongoing efforts to keep Iyengar yoga accessible to everyone.

Please note that the recordings of the community class are viewable for 48 hours after the class.
