Celebrating 40 years teaching yoga

Last November the Centre was filled with people, light, warmth and a lot of laughter as we celebrated my 40 years as an Iyengar Yoga teacher. To see the community come together to light 40 candles (each person invited to offer theirs for a significant teacher in their lives), chant together, share memories and honor the tradition of Patanjali and Iyengar yoga, was a joy. Not to mention the cake!

I want to thank everyone who made it such a special occasion; Helen for her calm hosting and insightful questions about my yoga journey,  Rachel, Anna and Bhanu for practical arrangements and serving tea, and especially my sister Cathy for compiling the extraordinary book to which so many of you and others contributed. To get a message from Abhijata Iyengar in Pune was perhaps the highlight of a wonderful occasion.  


We have these lovely photos with which to remember the day.  

Heartfelt thanks
