Iyengar Yoga debuts in Beirut

Yogini Djoeke Van Der Werf led Beirut's first Iyengar Yoga workshop at Mont La Saade in Ain Saade on Saturday, reports The Daily Star. "For the yoga community of Lebanon this is a premier event," said Lina Shuman, the workshop's organizer. According to Shuman, Iyengar Yoga has not been formally taught in Lebanon before. The intent was to provide stress relief from local political and social tensions.

That's wonderful! I'm going to be in Beirut from July 20th to July 27th and am planning on checking out the Beirut Sivananda center. As a Kripalu style teacher, I'm excited to see that Beirut has a growing yoga community!
