January is Bring A Friend Month!
All month long, bring a friend, who is new to Iyengar Yoga Detroit, to try a class with you at no charge. If Iyengar
Yoga has improved your health, healed your injury, clarified your mind, stabilized your emotions, or brought any
other benefit, share it with your friend! New beginners are welcome at all Level 1 classes, as well as Gentle and
Restorative classes. To drop into a Level 2 or 3 class, check with the instructor.

Community Gift
How community supports itself.
Peggy teaches several "community gift"/pay-what-you-can classes each week, marked with "*" on the schedule. While there is no set fee, your generous gift, whether $2 or $20, will keep the class running and allow others to experience the same benefit you receive. The lessons of Iyengar Yoga, so generously offered by the Iyengar family and the teachers they have trained, are priceless. Let us appreciate this sacred art by giving what we can from the heart.
Learn more about Community Gift here Keep the gift circulating!

Monthly Focus: Bharadvajasana I -
From the Past Into the Future
Peggy Kwisuk Hong
From Dandasana, fold your legs to your left. Bring the left leg into Virasana with the left shin in the arch of the right foot. Elevate your hips on blankets or block to level them. Pressing your left shin, outer thigh, and hip down, twist to your right, and place your right hand behind you. Grip the right knee with your left hand to turn the ribs, shoulders, and finally, the head. 
Leave 2013 behind and look forward into 2014. Take what you have learned and gained in the past year and bring it around to the new year. Leave behind your mistakes and all you have outgrown. As you turn your abdomen, you digest and metabolize, not just your last meal, but all your experiences. As you turn your chest and shoulders, you open your heart to what is next. As you turn your head, you gaze with openness and wonder at what is to come. Meanwhile, ground yourself by pressing both buttock bones down so you have a firm base from which to twist. R/evolve and resolve!
