Skillful Action in Iyengar Yoga

Through asana and pranayama practice, we will explore the nature of skillful action. Every yoga posture is captured in T.S. Eliot’s words, “We must be still and still moving into another intensity.” Iyengar Yoga offers deep and transformative study into intensity through the essential stillness and ease of yoga postures that comes with skillful action and intelligent movement.

Through skillful action, the layers of our being – from the outermost to the innermost – can be brought into a state of balance, and our levels of physical, mental and emotional strength, range of motion, energy and stamina are deepened and restored. Practicing with skillful action is inclusive of all areas; no area is overlooked, overworked or underworked. This is the essence of the integration of being “still and still moving”.

This retreat includes asana, breath work (pranayama), dharma talks, and chanting. One year of Iyengar yoga experience is required.
