Happy 91st Birthday Guruji

Share
BKS Iyengar turns 91 today.

Thank you Guruji for inspiring my practice and my love of teaching.

He made The 2004 Time 100 list of most influencial people for his profound gift of bringing yoga to the West and his teachings continue to inspire yoga instructors all around the world.

Have a peak below at footage of BKS Iyengar in his 20’s from a classic 1938 newsreel and then demonstrating pranayama and Sarvangasana variations 45 years later in 1987:

All I want for Christmas..

Share
I'm an Ambassador.

Not for the UN. I'm an Ambassador for the Power of Movement, the world's largest yoga fundraising campaign in support of arthritis and autoimmune research. Check out me and my fellow ambassadors here.

My role is to help spread the word for the cause and increase involvement in my community. This is the second year I'm linked to the event and hope to help make this fundraising year the most successfull yet.

Why do I care? I have several young family members, friends, and yoga students who have been disgnosed with various forms of arthristis, too many to name here. I see the way this disease negatively impacts their quality of life. Arthritis is a disease misunderstood by many and whose research is grossly underfunded. My hope is Power of Movement can both educate and increase funding for arthritis research.


So where does Christmas come in? All I want for Christmas is your support. Help me fundraise.

Thank you in advance for your generosity.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
