Feeling grateful to have had the opportunity to study over three days with Lorraine McConnonin Galway. She eased us in with a deep restorative Friday, realigning our shoulders to bring us to more stable and aligned inversions on Saturday, guided us on Sunday to variations of backbends and finally to conquer the fear of the unknown of dropbacks. All the while, she gave individual alternatives for those unable to do the more advanced poses. The Q&A time was a special opportunity to ask anything from alleviating sciatica, poses for menopause, to making Iyengar yoga more accessible for those new to the method. The sun even shone at
just the right times. We are already thinking we’ll have to make this an annual event!

The proposed theme for the weekend is: YOGAH CITTA VRTTI NIRODHAH. Yoga is the stilling of the fluctuations in the consciousness, it is both a means and an end to this process.

In order to achieve mental absorption, we need to find stability in the asana. particularly as the body becomes more mobile, how we work should involve both activity and restraint.

Lorraine is detailed and precise whilst being positive and patient at all times.

Saw this recently shared in another forum. Very powerful to hear about how BKS Iyengar developed a practice for people living with an illness which was once thought could only be a terminal illness.

Fantastic to be back in person with this sold-out workshop with the lovely Aisling Guirke! From Supta Padangusthasana 3, intense twisting standing poses, to preparing the shoulders for Sirsasana. This was the second day for a group of teachers who attended a 5-hour professional development day with Aisling on Saturday. Students and teachers alike were happy to have a little rest with chair Sarvangasana. Looking forward to holding another workshop soon, and getting MIY out of hibernation! Thank you to everyone who helped organise and who attended to make the weekend such a success!
