The workshop is suitable for all levels from beginners with a minimum of one year of consistent asana practice to the more seasoned practitioner and teachers with a regular practice.

Dear All,

I hope you, your family, and your friends manage well through these extraordinary and challenging times.

As we deal with the Government’s stricter Covid 19 lockdown, we are mostly keeping company with ourselves and may have feelings of uncertainly about our future and worry about loved ones. However, in this long period of forced isolation, we have also been given a chance to learn a lot about ourselves in this time of adversity.

The lockdown reinforces the reflective qualities of the winter season. Use the time to rest, reflect, nourish, and explore the interior landscape of your inner being. Yoga and its sacred texts provide guidelines on how to care for and cultivate the well-being of our body, mind, and spirit, especially in times of hardship when stresses compromise our well being.

In honor of Guruji and Geetaji, may we all remain unwaveringly devotional to our study of yoga.
May the grace of their teachings continue to inspire our practice to embrace the unpredictable flow of life with inner balance and skillful action.

“Yoga allows you to find an inner peace that is not ruffled or riled by the endless stresses and struggles in life.”

I wish you all the very best this holiday season, and may your dreams, hopes, and intentions light the way to a brighter new year. May you all have clarity and inner strength to endure and overcome difficulties in your path, may you all cultivate contentment and gratitude for all things great and small, may your efforts be heartfelt, skillful, and in alignment with your aims; may your inner journey reveal beauty, love, truth, and wisdom, and deepen the connection with your spirit and purpose; may your practice yield balance, empowerment, and creativity.

Geeta reminds us, “It is your practice that brings the secrets to you. No teacher can give you the secrets.”

Peace and Love,

Delilah

Hallo allemaal,

Ik hoop dat het goed met jullie en jullie naasten gaat in deze tijd vol uitdagingen. Het is een tijd geleden dat ik jullie voor het laatst informeerde.

Ik doe mijn best om zo goed mogelijk te reageren en te navigeren in deze onzekere tijden. Ik moest telkens opnieuw beoordelen hoe ik het beste het yoga-instituut voort kon zetten terwijl het in financieel zwaar weer verkeert zoals niet eerder beleefd. Na veel wikken en wegen zie ik als enige passende mogelijkheid om online les te blijven geven totdat de situatie verbetert.

Dit is een grote beslissing, ook voor mij, en ik pas me aan de situatie aan zoals die zich ontwikkelt. Ik begrijp dat sommigen van jullie het moeilijk vinden om de maatregelen te accepteren waaraan we ons moeten houden en het feit dat de lessen enkel via het scherm te volgen zijn. Maar aan de andere kant is het mij tijdens deze nieuwe ervaring opgevallen dat ik, vanwege het kleine aantal studenten in de les, elke deelnemer beter kan observeren op het scherm en elk individu meer gedetailleerde individuele aandacht kan geven. Laten we onthouden dat verandering de katalysator kan zijn om te leren, te groeien, jezelf aan te passen en tot nieuwe inzichten te komen.

Met de online lessen, wordt jouw huis een pop-up yoga studio. Het adagium “thuis is waar je hart ligt” kan niet toepasselijker zijn dan op dit moment; je kunt een heiligdom creëren voor je welzijn en je gemoedsrust. De tijd die je bespaart op reizen kan voor minder stress zorgen en kun je gebruiken om je te prepareren voor en te focussen op je yogareis.

Je hebt geen computer of laptop nodig – alles wat je nodig hebt is een camera en een scherm, daarvoor is je telefoon goed genoeg. Mijn lessen zijn duidelijk en makkelijk te volgen. En ik geef eenieder individuele aandacht.

Mocht je geen hulpmiddelen hebben dan is dat geen probleem. Iyengar gebruikte dat wat hij om zich heen kon vinden om mensen te helpen; Ik ben er zeker van dat ook jij je weg hierin vindt.

Hier een paar suggesties voor hulpmiddelen:
Blokken: boeken met harde kaft van dezelfde omvang, vul een schoenendoos op met boeken met een zachte kaft
Yogariem: riemen, touwen, sjaals
Kussens: 3-4 dekens en/of grote handdoeken in een kussensloop in plaats van kussens, kussens van de sofa

Voor huidige kaarthouders:

• 10 en 13 lessen kaarten worden verlengd tot 31 december 2020
• Half jaar kaarten worden verlengd tot 28 februari 2021
• Jaar kaarten worden verlengd tot 30 april 2021
• Kaarten voor de medische les worden verlengt tot 30 april 2021. Lessen zijn online en individueel.

Passepartout (pp) kaarten:

• Eén maand pp kaarten worden verlengd tot 31 oktober 2020. Dit geldt voor kaarten die gekocht zijn op 14 februari 2020
• Drie maand pp kaarten worden verlengd tot 31 december 2020. Dit geldt alleen voor kaarten die gekocht zijn na 14 januari 2020.
• Eén jaar pp kaarten gekocht na 14 maart 2019 worden verlengd. De datum tot wanneer de kaart geldig is wordt per persoon bepaald.
• Docenten trainees kaarten worden verlengd tot 31 december 2020.

Stuur voor de eerste boeking van een online les met je huidige leskaart een e-mail met een foto van je leskaart naar online@iyengaryogaamsterdam.com.

Yoga draait om het vinden van balans en evenwicht, het omarmen van de uitdagingen van het leven. Alles wat nodig is op dit moment is jouw lichaam, jouw gedachten en je ademhaling. Ik streef ernaar om een virtuele gemeenschap te creëren om verder te gaan met de yogareis waarin we elkaar ondersteunen. In de huidige tijd en met de technologie van dit moment komt de docent bij je thuis.

”Het lichaam is mijn tempel, asanas zijn mijn gebeden” BKS Iyengar

Met liefde en dankbaarheid voor je steun,

Delilah
