Iyengar Yoga with Susan Johnson

01/21/2026

Back extensions aren’t about bending deeper.
They’re about changing how you extend.

On January 24, we’re diving into Technique & Transformation in Back Extensions
through the precision and intelligence of the Iyengar Method.

This isn’t a “drop-back” class.
It’s about learning how back extensions educate the spine, awaken the nervous system, and transform your practice from the inside out.

If backbends feel stuck, strained, or intimidating—
this session will change your relationship with them.

✨ Thoughtful sequencing
✨ Intelligent use of support
✨ Lasting transformation, not temporary shape

Join me for a practice that goes beyond flexibility.

I’m very happy to be releasing this special episode of an interview about Guruji given by his daughter, Geeta Iyengar. This interview took place in 2003. Kristin and Lee were in Pune for Guruji’s 85th birthday celebration. Our region was busy preparing for the 2004 convention that would be held here in Saint Paul. Neither Geetaji nor Guruji were able to attend, so Kristin and Lee had the idea to ask Geeta for an interview that could be shown at the convention. She generously accepted. You will only hear Geeta’s voice in this interview. Kristin and Lee wanted it to be that way. I think you’ll find as I did that hearing the questions isn’t necessary to be able to follow along with what she is speaking about.

What you are hearing today is just the audio of the interview. Perhaps at some point we can release the video in some format.

Please enjoy this episode of “On the Light”.
