Another term has started at the Victoria Iyengar Yoga Centre! At this time of year, practicing yoga is so important because it strengthens the immune systems which can help us avoid catching a cold or the dreaded swine flu. As the days get shorter and darker, I find that practicing yoga improves my mood and keeps the winter blues at bay, especially if you practice some simple chest opening asanas throughout the day. As we head towards the holiday season, many of us start to look at our finances and this year’s economy has hit many people hard. I was happily surprised to see that the Victoria Iyengar Yoga Centre is offering a “Pay What You Can” yoga class to allow people of all incomes to attend classes. Iyengar yoga classes can be more expensive than other yoga styles because all Iyengar yoga teachers have a minimum of three years teacher’s training and the training usually starts after 3-5 years of yoga practice. After I attended my first Iyengar yoga class, I knew that what the non-profit centre was charging for a yoga class was a real bargain. I encourage you to attend Charles’ class and find out for yourself.
Iyengar Insight: Unless people learn to differentiate between the essentials and the non-essentials, peace will always elude them.
