Yorkville Yoga

Yorkville Yoga Iyengar Yoga Classes and Private Instruction on the Upper East Side. Classic Iyengar Yoga classes. Iyengar Yoga is based on the teachings of Yoga Master B.K.S.

Iyengar and begins with learning the art and science of asanas, or yoga postures. The method of study is orderly and progressive, and the postures are adjusted to meet the physical conditions and needs of each student. An innovative and inspired practice of yoga, the Iyengar method was developed by B.K.S. Iyengar during his long career. Firmly based in the ancient Indian tradition of classical Ash

tanga Yoga as defined in Patanjali's The Yoga Sutras, Iyengar Yoga teaches strength and stamina, flexibility and balance, concentration and meditation. In Iyengar Yoga, the search for a developed consciousness begins with physical awareness. In each posture, every part of the body is acted upon with intent and precision. But Iyengar Yoga goes beyond the physical to embrace emotional and spiritual growth. As students learn to extend awareness to each part of their bodies, they begin to explore the limitless potential of the mind and the soul. The two quests of the physical and the spiritual are not separate, but parts of a complementary approach to self-realization and enlightenment.

"Ask Pema" was recorded yesterday at Gampo Abbey. A woman had a question concerning taking care of and giving compassion to many in her life without much left for herself. Pema answered "Compassion for others has to be based on compassion for oneself. Sounds selfish but that's how it is. Love for others starts and comes from love for oneself. It's called wise selfishness." Thanks to Shambhala Publications for hosting Pema and giving us all the opportunity to hear from Pema.
