AGM & SPRING WORKSHOP WITH SALLIE SULLIVAN

Transcription

1 Spring 2016 FROM THE EDITOR Dear Members I have always enjoyed reading the newsletter and found it somewhat daunting to follow in Hazel and Mira s footsteps and thank them for their incredible input to the magazine. I only hope I continue their good work and bring you an inspiring, informative and interesting magazine twice yearly. It is with great sadness we heard about Viju's recent death from cancer. We would like to 'Remember Viju' in the Autumn newsletter, so please do provide any images, comments or thoughts you would like to share. I was fortunate to attend Viju's 'Celebration of Life' shortly after her death. Viju had carefully planned this herself, and her message was one of celebration. Viju Koria sadly died on 2 March and will be deeply missed by the IIYS community. Sara Calder-Jones saracalderjones@btinternet.com The magazine is for you and aims to reflect what you want to hear about. Members are a blend of teachers and students representing a wealth of talent, experience, passion and knowledge of Iyengar Yoga. My thanks to all contributors for this issue. Ali s Lewes National Iyengar Yoga Day article demonstrates a deep passion among our teachers and shows a real enthusiasm from people keen to know more about the benefits yoga can bring to their lives. Cathy and Sallie have shared their experiences from recent trips to India. Not having been to India, I find these contributions tremendously insightful. It s also membership renewal time and details are included within.

3 NATIONAL IYENGAR YOGA DAY IN LEWES It was early in August last year that our National organization IYENGAR YOGA UK announced the date of the first NATIONAL IYENGAR YOGA DAY in the UK Saturday 16 JANUARY This was in large part due to the resounding success of a similar day held by a branch of our organization in Ireland in The objective of the day was to raise the profile of IYENGAR yoga generally and specifically to encourage wider participation by offering free introductory classes to the general public. It was particularly hoped to attract interest even from those with absolutely no prior experience. We have a close and friendly cluster of Iyengar teachers in Lewes and whilst our wonderful Intermediate Senior Teacher, Sallie Sullivan, was sadly unavailable (yoga teacher training in the Maida Vale Institute) 3 of us decided to offer a programme of classes and demonstrations in a hall close to the town centre (conveniently already well stocked with my yoga equipment!). A small ad was placed in the local magazine and on the local government intranet. Neither of these produced much response. What did seem to work was the enthusiastic rallying of existing students asking them to bring along curious friends, neighbours, teens and children to join in. We planned to start the day with 2 free 45 minute classes, to be followed by an asana demonstration by existing students, then a further demonstration by us teachers, myself, Hazel Johnson and Sarah Dewsbery and to offer a final 30 minute relaxation class at the end. We decorated the hall with lots of photos of Guruji doing wonderful postures as well as a selection of his many luminous and lyrical quotes. We took in a selection of yoga books particularly those well endowed with large colourful photos, for people to browse - and laid on free refreshments. Uncertain of the turnout, we hesitantly laid out a few mats and were relieved when 6 people arrived for the first class. We were then rather unprepared for the sudden arrival of 23 students for the second free class and had to rally around quickly rolling out more mats and rearranging them swiftly to accommodate everyone. It wasn t quite Pune style mat-to-mat, but felt cheerfully crowded with a pleasantly heightened sense of expectancy and excitement in the busy room. After the buzz and bustle of the morning classes, 8 of my students performed an excellent 15 minute asana demonstration to those people who were still around. Many participants had left for lunch, so the audience was not as numerous as hoped (scheduling consideration for next year!). Then after a short break, we three teachers performed our asana demonstration (devised by me with prior approval from Sallie - who warned it might last longer than we thought). It was a vigorous sequence with a lot of Intermediate Junior poses and staged with an eye for the aesthetic. Having only had the briefest run-through the evening before, we discovered that our performance went on for 40 minutes, instead of the expected 20! Fortunately the audience, which had swelled in number, as many returned after lunch, were entirely attentive and seemed captivated by the strange and wonderful shapes we were making. The audience included children and teens and the two youngest boys aged 8 and 10 sat transfixed and wide-eyed throughout. We ended the day with a relaxation class attended by 15 people, including Hazel and Sarah who, exhausted by their considerable contributions, happily settled back into the restorative and supine postures, with ample use of bolsters and blankets. It was rewarding and delightful to end the day on a serene, restful note with a palpable atmosphere of calm, inward absorption. In all an enjoyable and unexpectedly well attended day, which we hope will have spread the word a little wider about the joys and rewards of Iyengar yoga. It was a stirring image of connectedness and wider community to conjure up all the free classes and events being run across the UK on the same day. Ali Hahlo

4 A TASTE OF INDIA Sallie Sullivan attends opening of the new Yoga Hall in Bellur Eleven years of accomplishment Guruji s work bears fruit Chalo! Jaldi Chalo! Let s go! Nothing to see. Lois was impatient as we viewed the bare, low rocky promontory. It was already evening in November After the daylong dedication of the Patanjali temple in Bellur village we faced a 21 hour train journey back to Pune. But the taxi driver had insisted. Guruji said we must see the site of the proposed secondary school that the villagers had requested for their daughters. December 2015: our taxi from the airport drove through the gateway into the Bellur campus. We passed several buildings. At every turn smiling groups of school children in smart checked uniforms greeted us with Namaskars. We were set down by a Banyan tree between further buildings. Over the next two days we were shown what has been accomplished the hospital, the secondary school, the college for seven hundred 16 to 18 year olds, the residence for medical and teaching staff. And newly finished, the Yoga Hall, kitchens and dining area for 400 people, on the crest of that same low promontory. A gentle cooling breeze blew through the open sides of these buildings, and we had a view over green farmland below. Alongside we saw the first of the residential buildings to be built for the future use of visitors attending yoga courses, all enjoying the same vista. The first evening at the inauguration of the Yoga Hall, the organisers, builders and major contributors were thanked and gave moving speeches in response. Patience was rewarded when the school children ended the event with a dazzling display of asanas. You know, the ones towards the end of Light on Yoga than you ve never actually seen anyone do except on Youtube? And the children performed them with supreme concentration and enjoyment. The hall is spacious and airy, with an octagonal roof beam pattern and wide open entrance to the north. Guruji is present in the design as much as in the photos. There are two wide doorways to the especially spacious equipment room (eat your heart out, RIMYI). Next day Geeta treated us to two sessions unexpectedly starting with a jumpings class. Right at the front, seven Bellur youngsters joined in the first class. I recognised one as the girl who had figured in a German TV film. It followed her as she prepared successfully for a scholarship awarded to seven local youngsters to train as yoga teachers. The class was highly energetic and rather a surprise to some. After a break we enjoyed a simple pranayama session. Meals were delicious and varied and were served quickly in the roomy dining area. Everywhere on campus we met groups of students to offer drinking water, show the way, eager to try out their English. They were lively, cheery and curious. That evening there was a stunning entertainment by groups of school students portraying the dance, song and costume of different regions of India. As India in scale is more a continent than a country, that was no mean feat. On the last day Prashant gave a class where he gave us a mixture of philosophy and asana, talking about entering, being in, and coming out of an asana it s like taking milk, mixing it with curd and producing yoghurt. If you stay too long, the asana goes rotten! It was heart-warming and inspiring to see the transformation in this rural backwater of farming, brickmaking and stone quarries. This is all thanks to Guruji s generosity, helped by our teachers certification fees and fundraising. Sallie Sullivan

5 A TASTE OF INDIA Cathy Rogers Evans explores learning yoga through osmosis from her recent visit to Pune One way in which yoga is learned is through osmosis. Guruji often explained that it is through the intelligence in each and every cell of the body that transformation takes place. Perhaps this is why he expanded his teaching to large groups of people. Traditionally yoga was taught on a one to one basis. The student (Sadhaka) would stay with the Guru for extended periods of time, this is how the learning took place. BKS Iyengar began his teaching career by teaching groups of army cadets in Deccan Gymkhana Pune. By the time he died in August 2014 at the age of 95 he had developed the required skills to teach well in excess of 1,000 people at a time. Complex, comfortably situated outside of the busy polluted city of Pune Maharashtra. Staying in comparative luxury in a western style hotel, where the evening buffet is a delicious freshly cooked Indian meal, concluded by a choice of delightful mini deserts, my experience was nothing but of full satisfaction. Yoga from morning until 4pm, a discussion or lecture in the early afternoon, late afternoon in the December sun by the hotel pool with yoga friends and a very peaceful night s sleep. Cathy Rogers Evans In December 2015 Dr Geeta S.Iyengar, the eldest daughter of BKS Iyengar conducted an excellent 8 day course focussing on pranayama, the yogic art of breathing.there were around 1,400 participants from all over the world learning yoga from her and from each other by being together, at this wonderful event. In her opening talk with us she said It is not just building up the organisation from outside. It has to be built up from inside. This is the process of Involution. Yama and Niyama: you should be truthful, honest, not just grabbing someone s yoga belt. Make sure it is yours. You should not steal; practise asteya. Yoga has to happen, involution has to happen and you have to be completely transformed. The prakriti, we beautify ourselves, that is how in spite of celebrating the birthdays we want to be 40 if we are 60. Abhinivesa, clinging to life, BKS Iyengar confirmed that this is the mind that would not accept the age. This was the second recent course of its kind in Pune.In December 2014 Geeta had taught to 1200 people in the same Balewadi Sports Stadium. Geeta had explained that she had been a child when her father started travelling outside of India to teach yoga. She described how the family eagerly awaited his safe return. On another occasion Prashant Iyengar shared his astonishment at the teachers training courses and assessments in all of the countries around the world, as he emotionally told us that he had been completely unaware of what his father had been doing when he worked with his students and teachers outside of India. He said he and his family is indebted to the work that the teachers now do on his father s behalf. Geeta told us that she would watch her father while he was practising, then she was asked by her schoolteachers to teach yoga to the pupils at her school. This is how her teaching career started. Two consecutive years, I have thoroughly enjoyed Geeta s Yoganusasanum, her December Convention at the vast Badminton Hall in the Balewadi Sports Geeta Iyengar and many of the teachers at the Yoganusasanum. Coconut queues during our lunch break. Cathy, Issy and Kishe at the Balewadi Stadium. One of the benefits of IIYS membership is the many friendships we all make and value. Many members will know Kishe from her days with Cathy at the Iyengar Yoga Workshop in Worthing. Kishe now lives and teaches yoga in the Forest of Dean with her husband, Glen, son Jiyah and Rosie her daughter. Cathy had the great pleasure of spending 8 days with Kishe and Issy while participating in the yoga with Geeta Iyengar. Images courtesy of Kishe Redwood.

7 A LOOK AT SOME PAST EVENTS Review of Edgar Stringer s Workshop 20 February 2016 by Miranda Chalcroft On a cold wet Saturday morning in February I couldn t think of a better way to spend it than learning from an Iyengar workshop. I have been practising for over 14 years now, all different disciplines of yoga and Iyengar only the last 3. I discovered Iyengar yoga for real and never looked back, when an Intermediate Senior Teacher Lara Warren from New York came to visit Brighton in a studio I regularly practised in. Observing her beautiful demonstrations, I realised I could learn a lot from this form of yoga. Since then, I discovered that all Iyengar teachers have this ability to teach and demonstrate with such grace and precision. My practise before Iyengar had no inward attention, all I was focused on was the external sensations of stretching. I m always excited to do a workshop especially with someone new. The place was at Brighton Community centre on the top floor, so good to work our legs and get a bit of a sweat on before starting. The room was extremely bright and airy and I recognised a few teachers and practitioners. Placing my mat down and unloading a heavy bag of equipment, I m ready to receive more knowledge on Iyengar yoga and his teachings. Throughout, Edgar had a wonderful presence to him and though the asanas were challenging he taught in a way where each posture felt complete. I m beginning to understand that repeating a posture over and over is key. Edgar worked us a lot in the warrior postures, which I personally need to work on, so from this I can only hope I have made some positive and lasting changes in my practise. This event felt like it was for mixed ability students and was taught in such a way that everybody had an alternative posture to do if need be without any form of chaos. The time went extremely quickly and with the quality of teaching I found a lot of postures that are normally a challenge quite effortless. Cathy, who organised this event, made everyone feel extremely welcome and very generously provided drinks and snacks for all. Later that evening, I slept peacefully and early morning I could move with more ease. I felt content at being at home and happy around my loved ones. I would thoroughly recommend anyone who has not tried an Iyengar workshop to do so to make exceptionally positive lasting changes in all aspects of our lives.
