From the Editor

Hi Everyone, This edition of the Link will only be available online. The next edition—February—will be a paper copy, but it will also be available online. The December Link brings to an end the 2014 yoga year; it has been a year brim-ful of workshops and, as you will see from the calendar, next year promises to be as busy. I hope you are all having a fun-filled Christmas break, and that you have found time to attend the holiday programmes some of the studios are offering. I was one of the group of New Zealanders who went to Pune to attend the Con-vention in honour of Geetaji’s 70th birthday. It was a truly inspirational experience, especially for those of us going to Pune for the first time. In the New Year I will get together with some of the others who attended and we will put together an article, together with some photos, that I will include in the first link of 2015. 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

IMPORTANT REMINDER

Stephanie Quirk Therapy Workshop notes, compiled so generously by the note-takers, are for the use of course participants only. They are not to be distributed to other students, trainees and Introductory Level 2 teachers. The notes from Stephanie Quirk Workshops are well beyond the level that trainees and Intro Level 2 require. Teacher Trainers or mentor teachers will guide trainees and teachers (who don’t at-tend the SQ Therapy course) on how to work with injuries and medical conditions in their general classes and alert them to refer students with more serious injuries and medical conditions directly to a senior teacher. ONLY Senior Intermediate Level 1 teachers and above can teach therapy classes. Other certified teachers can teach students who manage their injuries or medical conditions in general classes. Junior Intermediate Level 2 and above may conduct private tuition (i.e. one-on-one) where general injuries or medical conditions, which are managed by the student, can be addressed. It is advised that more serious inju-ries/medical conditions be referred to a Senior Intermediate Level teacher. If in doubt seek the help of a senior teacher.

“Yoga leads consciousness away from desires and toward the inner,

undisturbable core.”

Honouring B.K.S Iyengar – ‘Guruji’

Thank you Frances, Anne-Marie and Clare for creating the opportunity for the Christ-church Iyengar community to honour Mr Iyengar together. Whilst listening to the news on National Radio one morning, I heard of Mr Iyengar’s passing. I was surprised at the sense of immediate loss I felt. I was also struck by the wide influence of Mr Iyengar in that his death was reported by a national radio station far away from his home in India. I have been participating in Iyengar Yoga classes in Christchurch for approximately twenty years and it has become part of my life. Over these years I have found the yoga to provide a source of wellness both physically and mentally. More recently, the impact of the earthquakes and ongoing demands of the repair and recovery have caused sig-nificant stress to the Christchurch Community and individuals. The effect I feel during and after practising yoga enables me to balance this impact and achieve a sense of calmness and clarity. The ceremony was held on 13th September 2014at Hohepa Hall, a peaceful place built in the tradition of Rudolph Steiner. Preparations to the hall included photos of Mr Iyen-gar and decorations with ferns, flowers and giant pink paper pompoms. The ceremony commenced with arriving to the chanting of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali. We completed the invocation to Patanjali with Anne-Marie calling and the group responding. Following this, in honour of our ‘Guriji’ there were prayers to Guru. Local teachers shared their links and experiences of Mr Iyengar and Iyengar Yoga. The passion and attention to detail of their experiences, communicated the level of impor-tance and inspiration the memory held for each of them. Through listening to each ex-perience I felt a connection to that inspiration. There followed the Atma Darsana Reflection of the Soul, B.K.S Iyengar. This film por-trayed a window into the life of Mr Iyengar, his family, his practising and his teaching. As I reflect back on the film I see Mr Iyengar as a modest man who held his family dear to him. He demonstrated a mastery in the practice of the asanas and a commitment to the further development of yoga though his hours and days and years of practise,


creating and modifying props and teaching others. He openly shared his knowl-edge and learning and, through his generosity, enabled practitioners throughout the world to benefit from his dedication. He was an extraordinary man and I am grateful for his legacy. The ceremony was concluded with Atmasatakam – Song of the Soul. Following the ceremony we were able to catch up with others from our local Iyen-gar Yoga community over a shared afternoon tea. There was a varied group of individuals each sharing the common connection to Iyengar Yoga. Thank you again Frances, Anne-Marie and Clare for organising the event. Being

able to be part of the ceremony to honour Mr Iyengar enabled me to connect with

our local community and belong to a worldwide community not just of the present

but also with a lineage back to Patanjali.
