What makes the program special? What is unique about it?

This program features monthly “Learning Labs,” which are longer than weekly classes. The focus for the asana practice will be exploring Geeta Iyengar’s teachings, drawing from Kerry’s first trip to India in 2015, and various conventions, recordings, and texts of Geeta’s instruction. Participants will also delve into pranayama (breathwork) and yoga philosophy. Over the 6-month immersion, curated readings and home practice sequences will be assigned to explore and reflect on philosophical concepts. The monthly meetings provide an opportunity to gather, share, and discuss with fellow yogis to augment and clarify yogic concepts.

What do the monthly reading/reflection assignments include?kdadmin2024-12-10T17:13:12-05:00

What do the monthly reading/reflection assignments include?

The monthly reading assignments help students understand key yoga concepts and yogic philosophy. Students will explore these concepts through direct experience in short home practice sequences. They will read 10-20 pages of essays and background on yogic principles, as well as sections from Preliminary Course that cover basic instructions for yoga poses, their stages, and benefits. Additionally, students should bring written reflections from their experiences to share in one-on-one or group discussions at the monthly gatherings.
