Month: June 2015

We have a moon day on July 1st.  Is is a regular schedule for the 4th of July with a Mysore Session from 8 am to 10 am.  Come early and get your practice in before the festivities for the 4th of July.  Happy Independence Day!

We are excited about the group going on the retreat to Vermont on July 9th.  We have availability for those that would like to join us.  At AYM, Tim Foster will be taking care of the Mysore session on Thursday and the Led Ashtanga classes on Friday so please come and support our program.  Those practicing with us at AYM are in good hands for sure as Tim is a long time practitioner and excellent teacher.

We end July with a workshop weekend with Ken The Rolfer.  It’s all about anatomy and asana.  You are sure to take away valuable information that will benefit you and your practice.  We hope you will come to all sessions for the wealth of knowledge awaiting you.  Ken is a longtime practitioner and friend and we welcome his  teachings.

Be sure to take a look at the new Iyengar classes on the schedule with Nancy Witters.  She has been making pilgrimages to India to study with Geeta Iyengar at the Iyengar Institute in Pune as she is a dedicated teacher of the system.  Her program is a welcome addition to AYM along with C-Ray’s Iyengar Inspired classes on Friday mornings.    

We are pleased to announce that Nancy Witters will be teaching an Iyengar class every Tuesday and Thursday evening from 6:30 pm to 8 pm.   Iyengar is a tradition based on proper alignment in each pose. This class is designed for those wishing to learn the basics of the Iyengar method. This concentration allows the practitioner to build strength and increase flexibility and calm the busy mind. The use of props is encouraged (blocks, blankets, etc.) to safely gain a deeper understanding of the poses and to create greater mind/body awareness.  More about Nancy is noted below and we welcome her and her students to AYM.
