Rather than re-hash our successes and challenges, lets’ focus

in yoga and spirituality, as well a growing receptivity to yoga in the field of conventional

medicine. This growth begs the question: How do we improve the recognition of Iyengar Here are my thoughts.

First, get more connected within our community.

a. Collaboration and coordination. Competing for students and competing for workshop slots works against us. It overstretches our students’ resources and puts studios at odds

with each other. I acknowledge South Florida as a positive work in progress, where studios are communicating with each other about who is scheduling what seniors for when,

and then sharing this information with all students via email. IYASE is also shifting to cosponsor workshops with studios to provide marketing support, and scholarships to boost

attendance. Other ideas?

b. Real discounts for IYASE members. Some studios give discounts, most studios do not. A discount encourages more students to come to events, and gives IYASE an attractive benefit to market.

c. Make IYASE more visible in your local studio. Encourage students to join IYASE through

ers, when you get your newsletter, bring it into class and engage your students by sharing

d. Utilize technology to distribute self-published documents. IYASE has access to record-

ings and transcripts of workshops and trainings going back over 20 years. These can be scanned and published, with a nominal fee for downloading the documents to one’s local

computer. We need volunteers to help with this.
