 Welcome to our March newsletter!
For the first time since its opening, the Iyengar Yoga Centre is organizing an Open House, Saturday, March 29, from 3 - 8pm.
There will be asana performances, free try out sessions and special Open Day promotions. It is our hope that Open Day will stimulate interest in the benefits and features of Iyengar yoga practice.
Please mark the date in your calendar and let your friends and family members know about it. I hope that you can drop by too. Come and be part of the yoga community.
Namaste,

Guruji BKS Iyengar

"Do not forget the word "align." It is through the alignment of my body that I discovered the alignment of my mind, self and intelligence. Alignment from the outermost sheath of the body to the innermost is a way to bring our own personal reality into contact with universal reality."

| Iyengar Yoga Workshop with Father Joe Pereira |
Yoga - an inward journey of Healing: July 10 - 15
|
 Father Joe is a Catholic priest from Mumbai who is also a Senior Iyengar Yoga Teacher.
In the 1980s, he worked in Calcutta with Mother Theresa. He began the Kripa Foundation, what is now India's largest non-governmental charitable health organization. Although controversial at the time, he blended his Catholic faith with the practice of yoga and developed a powerful healing tool that he used to help street people and addicts in India. He was even given the blessings of Mother Theresa to teach yoga to the nuns who worked with her.
The Hong Kong Workshop will be called: "Yoga - an inward journey of Healing." Father Joe says he will include "all that I am using in the Process of
Rehabilitation and re-scripting people's broken lives."
From Thursday through Sunday the Yoga Workshop will focus on Iyengar Yoga for health and well being. On Monday and Tuesday the workshop will be for therapy and helping people with special needs.
Watch for more details of this important workshop coming this summer to The Iyengar Yoga Centre of Hong Kong.

| New beginners yoga series Monday evenings: bilingual teachers |
| Series of classes continues through to Monday March 17 |
 Our new Beginners Yoga Series is taught by Lydia Tsang and Kitty Leung. Both in their second year of teacher training, they are doing some basic teaching.
It is the first time we have teachers who are bilingual in English and Cantonese. Sometimes students who aren't comfortable speaking English are reluctant to take classes at our studio because English is the language of instruction.
While Lydia and Kitty's classes will also be taught in English, they will translate for those who cannot understand.
This series of classes continues through to Monday March 17.
