Light on Yoga Immersion Course

January 12th to 30th 2021

Unroll your mat for 2021 this January and join us for this special online yoga event. For three weeks, we will be meeting online via Zoom at 8.15am to 9.30am, Tuesday to Saturday to practice with reference to Light on Yoga by BKS Iyengar. This definitive work by Guruji, often referred to as the “bible” of yoga, was first published in 1966, and is the classic text for all serious students of yoga worldwide and one of the main study books for our Iyengar Yoga teacher training syllabus.

We will be looking mainly at Course One from his suggested home practice sequences and adapting poses to suit all levels, but exploring the progression of learning from the context of Light on Yoga. The complete course one, from the Light on Yoga book takes 30 weeks to finish (!), so we will be dipping our toes into the sea of knowledge from this great yoga master.

The immersion course can be taken as separate weeks or individual sessions. However, we will be progressing themes throughout the three weeks so you are encouraged to book a whole week at a time and if you are unable to make the session times, you can work from the recordings which will be sent to all participants on a daily basis to watch via Vimeo.

The sessions will be suitable for levels 1 to 3 (i.e. participants should have 6 months or more practice of Iyengar Yoga) and modifications for poses will be given when needed. Any questions, please get in touch with Rachel at rachel@orangetreeyoga.com or call 0044 7725120043.
