We are extremely pleased to welcome back US teachers Mary Obendorfer and Eddy Marks who have taught very popular workshops for us in the past. They have invited students to join them in a hybrid workshop that they will teach live in their centre in San Diego as well as online.

The theme of this workshop is the ‘lightness of being’. Good yoga practice can create an incredible physical and mental buoyancy and lightness. What exactly are the qualities of practice which bring that wonderful lightness of being? In this workshop Mary and Eddy will explore how to create this.

This is an opportunity to learn with teachers that are certified at an advanced level with a wealth of experience and the ability to convey BKS Iyengar’s illuminated teachings with great clarity, insight and positive energy.

They co-direct the BKS Iyengar Yoga Center of San Diego which was established in 1979 and have taught throughout the US and worldwide to share what they feel they were privileged to learn directly from the Iyengar family.

The workshop is suitable for intermediate and general level Iyengar yoga students.. The Friday session will be available as a recording from Saturday morning - because of the time difference between London and San Diego the Friday session is too late for us to join from London. The other sessions can be joined live online at the times shown below. Recordings of all the sessions will be available for two weeks after the workshop.

The workshop is best experienced as a complete workshop.

The price for all five sessions is £140. It is also possible to drop into individual sessions.
