The
benefits of an Iyengar Hatha Yoga practice can be felt after the
very first session. A sense of openess stays with you throughout
the day. The body feels lighter, the mind more clear and able to
focus. A regular on-going practice
will deepen and broaden these experiences and enable the practioner to see how
the daily application of yogic philosophy can enrich one's entire life. As the
the physical practice matures all aspects of one's life are drawn into a wholeness
of body, mind and spirit.
"Yoga is the mirror to look at
ourselves from within. Yoga is a light which, once lit, will never dim. The better
your practice, the brighter the flame" B.K.S. Iyengar
