CALL FOR MUSINGS

Yoga Samachar seeks submissions for our “Musings” column, which features a range of short thought pieces from members. These can be philosophical in nature or might focus on more practical topics— for example, a great idea for managing your studio or for creating community in your home town. Please send your own Musings to yogasamachar@iynaus.org by Feb. 1.

The IYNAUS Archives has received a wonderful new donation: the Dr. Marian

S. Garfinkel Collection. A senior teacher and devoted student of B.K.S. Iyengar,

Marian taught for many years in

Philadelphia. Among other notable achievements, Marian was the lead author of a study on the benefits of Iyengar Yoga for people with carpal tunnel syndrome, published in the Journal of the American

Medical Association in 1995.

Thanks to the generosity of Marian and her family, and to the hard work of our

Archives Chair, Scott Hobbs, we have recently added more than 25 boxes of materials to the IYNAUS Archives, including correspondence, audio and video recordings, and a wide range of printed materials related to B.K.S. Iyengar’s teachings, his visits to the United States and other countries.

One small, moving example of what the archive holds is the

2015 Iyengar Yoga Assessments

The following names were inadvertently missed when we published our list of 2015 passed assessments. Please accept our apologies— and congratulations on your hard work!
