Touching the Heart of Iyengar Yoga

Practice, Reflection, Devotion. A weekend workshop with Rebecca Lerner.

Friday to Sunday, December 3, 4 and 5, 2027

Please join us for an in-depth study of Yoga with Rebecca Lerner, a beloved, dynamic teacher who unfailingly offers illuminative ways of practicing. Students will be guided in asana and pranayama through the interplay that exists between three essential yogic principles: practice, reflection and devotion. This is a wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in a fun and challenging weekend of Yoga with a very warm and insightful Senior Iyengar teacher. Under her expert guidance, students gain inspiration and confidence to take their practice to a new level.

I am happy to announce a workshop at our studio with our beloved teacher and friend, Rebecca Lerner. I know it’s a while off, but plan now to be there for all 10 hours of classes. I look forward to a wonderful weekend of practice, study, and community.Love, Katherine

The Iyengar method

A complete, time-tested system.

Developed by Yogacharya B.K.S. Iyengar over more than seven decades of teaching, the method is methodical and progressive. Students who have tried other styles often tell us it is the first time anyone has taught them how to actually do the poses.

Questions

Can I try one class first?Absolutely. Submit the waiver, then pay for a single class by check, cash or money order.
I don't own yoga props. Is that a problem?Not at all. At home, regular blankets and a sturdy chair work well in place of studio props.
Will the teacher see me on Zoom?Yes, and she wants to. Set up your camera so your whole body is in view to get feedback. We are happy to help with your setup before class.
What if I don't know a pose?Poses are demonstrated before you do them, just as in the studio.
