My apologies but I am not going to make it to Interlochen tonight and I have to cancel class. I woke up with a bad bout of vertigo, a headache, and nausea today. I haven’t had this in a while and I’m not sure what brought it on. Ugh. Sorry.

I hope to see you tomorrow.

- Class Descriptions -

Level I Beginning Iyengar Yoga -
Level I Yoga focuses on realigning the body through asanas {postures}. Asanas are done safely with the use of props (if needed) for correct body alignment. Strength, subtle muscle action, flexibility & focus are built with basic standing poses, seated forward bends, twists, supported inversions, and supported backbends. It is advisable to not eat a full meal at least 2 hours before practicing.

Restorative Yoga -
Restorative yoga seeks to achieve physical, mental and emotional relaxation with the aid of props. A deeper mind-body connection is also built through pranayama {breath control}. The use of props aids in maintaining balance while focusing and relaxing. This class is suitable for all ages and abilities. It is advisable to not eat a full meal at least 2 hours before practicing.

Remembering Guruji one year after he left the physical world. Beautiful previously unseen photographs at the link.
"You will not reach knowledge of the Divine Self without passing through Self-knowledge. Your practice is your laboratory, and your methods must become ever more penetrating and sophisticated. Whether you are in asana or doing pranayama, the awareness of the body extends outwards, but the senses of perception, mind and intelligence should be drawn inward.” - BKS Iyengar
