"A tree has millions and millions of leaves. Each leaf is different, yet they are all part of the same tree. You also have numberless leaves in your various thought-waves, actions, reactions, fluctuations, feelings, failings and restraints,
but they are all connected to the same root,
the core of the being." -BKS Iyengar
Dear Friends of Iyengar Yoga,

Elise Browning Miller Comes to IYCD
Elise presents her internationally acclaimed workshop on working with scoliosis. This workshop is designed to present information and experience in the ways Iyengar Yoga can be used to meet the challenges of scoliosis. We will include anatomical background on scoliosis, identify each participant's scoliosis, and discuss cause and effect as well as psychological consequences of scoliosis. Participants will learn optimal yoga postures for scoliosis as well as how to adapt specific yoga postures to their scoliosis. By combining the yoga postures with breathing awareness, one can develop more structural alignment of the body and become more symmetrical and balanced. Through yoga, one can find the balance point that allows the scoliosis curve to coexist with gravity and activates the body's natural line.
This workshop is appropriate for anyone with scoliosis whether he/she is currently a yoga student or not. Teachers are urged to attend in order to be more skillfully when assisting their students with scoliosis.
Friday
Elise will discuss the physical and psychological causes and effects of scoliosis, identify different patterns of scoliosis and introduce the most beneficial poses for scoliosis. Adjustments and props will be used to assist participants to work with their individual scoliosis. Emphasis will be on lengthening the spine and aligning the body with breath awareness in beginning yoga poses.
Saturday & Sunday
Participants will continue to learn to work with their particular scoliosis with a variety of yoga poses including standing poses, back strengtheners, twists, inversions and forward bends.
Do you have interest in becoming certified as a "Yoga for Scoliosis" Trainer?
The Yoga for Scoliosis "Part 1" workshop would fulfill the first 10 hours of the 20 hours required to get started on the Elise Browning Miller "Yoga for Scoliosis" Training program.

Guruji in China: An interview with Manouso Manos
By Robin Mishell
This may be the best yoga teaching I've ever heard-even from him. I've been at this nearly 40 years and I'm thinking, how is it that he continues to teach me and these raw beginners and I'm getting so much wealth out of this mountain of yoga information
Thank You for your support . . .
