This is some of what I have learned about Yoga so far.
Why BKS Hoot Night?
This blog is intended, first off, as my small tribute to my esteemed guru and teacher, Yogacharya BKS Iyengar, and as a thank you to all the additional generous and gifted teachers who have invested in cultivating me as a teacher and as a student. Anything correct or of value in this blog comes from them. The errors, however, are all mine.
Secondly, this is a place for me simultaneously commemorate my 20th year of practice while consolidating all my notes on what I have learned about yoga in these 20 years.
It is purely for my own reflection and review, and not intended as a teaching tool, a diagnostic or prescriptive for anyone else's practice or therapeutic needs, and it especially is not intended as a compendium of Iyengar Yoga. It is a compendium of my one small teensy sliver of understanding of a much much larger art and practice.

Hi Jessica,
ReplyDeleteThank you for this blog. I have tried to access your flow chart but it won't come up. Your blog has been so helpful to me as I start this process of studying for the Jr. I test.
