Ayurveda Here and Now
Applying ancient wisdom in modern times
Ayurveda's timeless wisdom can be difficult to understand and even harder to apply to our modern lives. Our cultural practices often don’t align with Ayurvedic principles, making it challenging to adopt and maintain a balanced lifestyle. This disconnect can lead to feelings of isolation and unhealthy habits. We all seek balance and happiness, but how can we find it in our present fast-paced technological culture?
Join Zarah in a special workshop to discover practical ways to integrate Ayurveda into your daily routine, to harmonize with the seasons, and to honor your unique life journey. Learn simple, accessible practices that can truly be lived in the here and now.

Working with Ropes workshop
BKS Iyengar, inspired by 17th Century paintings of yogis suspended from trees with ropes, developed a rope wall for use in asana practice that he called Yoga Kurunta (which translates as puppet or marionette).
In this workshop, Tora Bueno will introduce the basics of working with the rope wall: how to warm up before class (useful for if you are feeling tired, stiff, or over stimulated), how to use the ropes to achieve more challenging poses, how to refine asanas you already feel comfortable in and lastly how use the ropes for inversions. We will cover various ways to adjust and retie ropes for many different poses and purposes.
Tora has been studying with various teachers in the Iyengar lineage since 2000 and became a certified CIYT level 1 in 2018. She turned to Iyengar Yoga to rehabilitate her hamstring injury and hasn’t looked back since.
She will be offering this “working with ropes” workshop monthly until the end of the year so come experience the spaciousness, freedom, and alignment in asana that will completely transform your experience of class in the middle of the room.

Hosted by Zoe Sandoval and Zarah Kravitz
