Bringing Yoga to the Next Generation

Yoga for Teens teacher Christy Brock Christy Brock is a Southern California teacher and one of my first yoga teachers.

Lately, her emphasis has been on bringing a specialized yoga practice to teens through workshops, teacher trainings and her dvd Yoga4Teens.

Her experience at the Iyengar workshop has deeply supported her work and invigorated her comittment to teaching a segment of our society that she says is under-served by the yoga community.

I interviewed her after the four day Iyengar intensive... you can see her enthusiasm in this video clip.

Christy teaches at Yoga Works in Laguna Beach and at schools across Southern California.

Video: Mr. Iyengar: Contentment in Discontent

WATCH Mr. Iyengar's response to a question about living with samtosha (contentment). He starts by saying that the state "has to come from within". But the path, he goes on, is not that easy and comes naturally only to fools and saints, with the rest of us left to figure it out the hard way. "In between, we're all discontent" he says, and the trick is to be content with that. (Watch video | Download MP3)

Video: Mr. Iyengar: Use Your House as a Prop

WATCH THIS streaming segment as Mr. Iyengar answers a Q&A question about how we can practice without the benefits of elaborate props such as the horse, which was used extensively throughout the workshop. (Watch video (Part 1 | Part 2 | Download MP3)

The response starts off by exhorting the audience ("you have to think!"). Mr. Iyengar then guides Manouso Manos through a wonderfully practical demonstration of how to do a variety of poses using walls, stairs an imaginary bed. Lastly, he closes on a measure of reproach to his critics who deride the Iyengar method for its excessive use of props ("Light on Yoga came before the props"), and closes by his humorous suggestion that props were part of his master plan to do yoga into his late eighties and beyond.
