Greetings!

October at IYCD offers some great opportunities to deepen your practice of Iyengar Yoga.  One of Denver's first yoga teachers, Debra Ann Robinson-Menzies, returns to offer her insights on how the practice leads to being "Steadied in Wisdom.".

 BKS Iyengar has based our practice on the ancient text by Patanjali, the Yoga Sutras.  Mr. Iyengar translates sutra (verse) II.46, as, "Asana is perfect firmness of the body, steadiness of intelligence and benevolence of spirit.". Debra Ann will explore with us how the asanas rinse the stress and unnecessary tension from our bodies and how pranayama (breathing practices) calm and stabilize the mind.  Once we arrive at this stage in the practice the upper levels of the practice commence, dharana (concentration), dhyana (meditation), and spiritual absorption (samadhi).

With her background in Iyengar yoga and Buddhist meditation practice, Debra Ann is a gifted teacher who combines, asana, pranayama, and meditation techniques to take your experience deeper, or, if you will, through the 8-fold ladder of yoga.

Personally, Debra Ann has really helped me to take the tension out of my practice.  To experience the moments Guruji has called the "effortless effort.". All levels of students are welcome!  Hope to see you then!
