From the Editor

Hi Everyone, The last edition of the Link was only available online. This edition will be a paper copy, but it will also be available online. This Link heralds the 2015 yoga year; we have had a busy start to the year: it is only March and I have already been to four workshops. As you will see from the calendar, the rest of the year promises to provide many workshops for you to choose from. We are honoured this year to have Abhijata Sridhar Iyengar, Mr Iyengar’s grand daughter, visiting us as the Association teacher. I hope many of you will make the time to attend. For more information see pages 20 and 21 of this edition of the Link. This is possibly the second to last Link I will be editing; I have been Link editor for three years now. If anyone is keen to take over this job please get in touch with me . All the Best for a healthy, yoga-filled 2015, Eira Contact the editor by: Email: [email protected] Address: 278 Upper Harbour Drive Greenhithe 0632 AUCKLAND New Zealand

From the Chair

March 2015

I hope you all have enjoyed the wonderful summer months. It makes getting up for early practice so much

easier, to see the dawn emerge into each beautiful day has been quite spectacular. The Executive and

Events Committees have been working, sometimes from dawn 'till dusk, on the IYANZ Yoga Convention

with Abhijata Sridhar Iyengar on May 8 to 10th 2015. There is a lot involved in bringing a guest such as

Abhijata to our shores but we are all waiting with excitement to receive her.

Enrol now for your place at this convention, there are limited spaces and we don't want you to miss out.

The New Zealand All Assessors Meeting was held in Auckland on Sunday March 8th. The most significant

item for the agenda were the combining of Introductory level 1 and 2 Assessment. From now on there will

be no Introductory level 1 assessment. It was one of Guruji's last directives that this should be so, due to

the number of teachers staying at the Intro 1 level and failing to complete their training.

Intro 1 teachers often use the Iyengar name which they are not permitted to do. For more information

about this, contact your teacher trainer. The guidelines for the new Introductory level 2 assessment and

the use of the Iyengar name, will be updated in the new manual.

Standing down from her role as Subscription manager and a myriad of other related work is Susan La-

mont. Due to family and other commitments Susan is standing down and we thank her immeasurably for

the work she has done for IYANZ. Susan's last work was to write a job description and pass it on to De-

melza Campbell who will take over from Susan. Thanks Susan, we look forward to your participation on

committee at some later stage.

Cornelia Reigner stepped down from the Chair of IYANZ at our last AGM in July 2014. Cornelia is still on

the Executive committee and the Events committee so still very much involved in the running of our asso-

ciation. Without hard- working members of committee we couldn't have the association we have today so

my thanks go to Cornelia for the on-going work that she does.

Judith Folkard is stepping down from her role as Treasurer at this year's AGM. Judith is on the Events

committee, so is also continuing this duty. With Abhijata's visit imminent, there is much to do, so thanks

Jude for the work you have done and are still to do.

Enjoy the rest of summer and enjoy your practice as we go into Autumn,

See you at our Iyengar Yoga Convention.

Namaste

Melodie

“When there is softness in the body and light-ness in the mind, the asana is correct. Hard-

ness and heaviness mean the asana is wrong. Wherever there is tightness, the brain

is overreacting, and you are caught and trapped there; so there is no freedom.”

B.K.S. Iyengar

Sue Scott - Palmerston North Workshop – Feb 2015 February saw Sue Scott from Yoga Jivana, Melbourne return to Yoga on the Square for what has become her annual visit to Palmerston North. Jyoteeka Cummings’ school proved an excellent venue with space, props and ropes for all. 26 students with a range of experience from first workshop to recently returned from India eagerly participated. The Friday night session was described as restorative by Sue. The focus was a run through a series of different inversions. These got everyone focused and concentrating on the matters at hand. Saturday brought a start with standing poses concentrating on containing hips and cor-rect pressure to parts of the feet. Ropes were gripped, legs placed on bolts, chairs, radia-tors and trestle. As we began to loosen up it was time to add a twist.


As the day continued forward bends using chairs were brought in with a focus on creat-ing broadness across the lower back. Perhaps a highlight was seeing Sue go into an assisted shoulder stand while placing her arms under the chair in one graceful, effort-less motion.

Sunday saw a focus on backbends with a variety of different props being demonstrated and attempted. This certainly woke everyone up from any Sunday morning slumber. Too soon it was noon and the workshop was at an end. Once again Sue had delivered a wonderful weekend with everyone taking many new understandings and ideas away. With her teaching style described by one student as, “gentle but firm”. Perhaps the big-gest indication of the enjoyment and appreciation were the smiles when Sue said she intended to return again in 2016.
