We thank all of the teachers, mentors, colleagues and students who have shared and are sharing in this practice and learning with us.

We recommend attending class at least 2-3 times a week, and adding in self-practice at home is beneficial for your progression. Questions about anything? Email or call us! We're here to help you along the way so you can experience the transformative effects this practice can offer. The above is paraphrased from the Iyengar family's work and books.
