One from the archives, found while cleaning the office. 2006ish, Sara had been putting the teachers through a very long, very tedious photo shoot (she had been a photo journalist pre-yoga instructor, and a perfectionist up until the very end haha). This shot was unplanned and an “outtake.” Their expressions say it all 😂🫠

What makes a yoga teacher exceptional can't possibly be narrowed down to a single thing. Here, one person's opinion on the best traits.

Sadly, despite being on the case all weekend, Rosalie the Yoga Cat has been unsuccessful in getting to the root of our website issue, and has retreated to her chamber for a much needed rest. She has passed the responsibility to the IYIP board who is working to get answers. Meanwhile, just a reminder that you can still register for classes and access the schedule through Namastream/Hey Marvelous. Thank you for your patience, and we hope to have our site up and running again asap!

Rosalie would like to apologize for our website being down. She is troubleshooting the issue and will hopefully have it resolved asap! Meanwhile all classes are on as per usual, with registration through namastream. Thank you for your patience!
