“By slowing down, learning to relax the body so it can work more efficiently, and by cultivating the ability to quiet the mind, one can access one’s own essential nature: that which is peaceful and loving. I teach Slow Flow as a journey back to yourself, to be reunited with your essence and to harmoniously live with yourself.” In the latest Down Under Voices blog post, Victoria Garcia Drago (@victoriagarciadrago) describes the gift of Slow Flow. With deliberate movement and conscious breath we shed layers of misconception and illusion so that we can see ourselves more clearly. Read Victoria’s full post on the Voices page of our website (link in bio).

“By using the ropes, the practitioner changes her relationship to gravity and can use her own body weight as traction on the spine. Working with motion helps to break through stiffness and create freedom in the joints so that movements become possible that were not possible before. When one is hanging on the ropes, the degree of muscular effort is substantially reduced, making it possible to stay in the asana for a longer period of time. The breath circulates with more freedom, which benefits the physiological body. This freedom moves beyond the physical and leads to freedom in the mind, which becomes expansive, calm, stable.” Patricia Walden speaks to the value of ropes in a yoga practice in the foreword of Yoga Kurunta: Learning the Ropes, a comprehensive guide to using wall ropes in your yoga practice, written by the Boston Yoga Ropes Collective (@bostonyogaropes). To learn more about the new book written by Down Under Iyengar faculty members and to read an exclusive excerpt of the book by Tristan Boyer Binns (@tristanofyoga), check out the Voices page of our website (link in bio). We're hosting the launch party for Yoga Kurunta this Saturday, May 11 in Brookline at 7:30pm. We would love to see you there!

Becoming a yoga teacher involves more than just learning names of poses. It provides the space for a deepening in your own individual practice. It invites you to consider various philosophies, histories, and lineages that may change your perspective on the world. It offers information about anatomy and physiology that is more hands-on and experiential than the lecture hall setting that you might be more familiar with. That evolving understanding of the body might ignite new understanding of the yoga poses in your own body - so much so that you want to share it with others. If this sounds like something you'd be interested in exploring, join Natasha Rizopoulos, Kate Heffernan (@krhyoga), and Michael Ponte (@michael.ponte) for a FREE Mini-Class & Info Session for 200 Hour Teacher Training on Sunday, June 9, 1–2:30pm in Brookline.

Down Under Iyengar Faculty Tristan Boyer Binns and Donna Gross Javel, along with their assistants Val Leiter, Greg Sullivan, and Pam Toomey, have collaborated on a comprehensive and exciting guide to using the Iyengar wall ropes. The downloadable resources are available for purchase now and the book's print edition pre-orders will ship in early May. Join us to celebrate at a book launch on May 11 in Brookline from 7:30–9pm. The authors along with Patricia Walden, who wrote the book's foreword, will be there with a demo and to share and sign copies.
