Understanding the Menstrual Practice
Sunday, March 17, 2024
2:00 – 4:15 PM ET
A hybrid event hosted by the Continuing Education Department at The Iyengar Yoga Institute of New York.
Geeta Iyengar’s keen adherence to Guruji’s method, her own disciplined self-practice and study of the science of Ayurveda helped shape our method’s approach to yogic practice considering the menstrual cycle. This workshop will use Geeta’s article “The Practice of Women During the Whole Month” as the basis of our exploration, including how to effectively address menses and common related issues in class and with individuals. This workshop is for all CIYT’s to hone their skills and understanding and become more comfortable and confident with this important subject.
Cultivating a Tranquil Mind with Yoga
Coming Soon
Yoga practice employs the body-mind to seek and find the perennial “place in space,” that is always tranquil, the Self.
As teachers of Yoga we can inspire our students to practice with the physical body and to enhance their mental and emotional well-being, both on and off the mat.
In this workshop you will learn:
how to practice asana and pranayama with skill and sensitivity to cultivate a tranquil (sattvic) state of mind
specific sequences to balance both overactive, anxious (rajasic) and dull/melancholic (tamasic) states of being
key teachings from Yoga philosophy texts that support your holistic connection and integration to the every joyful, lucid Self
Secrets of Surya Namaskar, Revealed!
