YOGACHARYA Festival and Conference - Dedicated to BKS Iyengar

Some Notes to Help You Select Your Classes

Many high-quality classes are available with some very distinguished Presenters, so selecting a class might be difficult. To help you, the classes have been placed into five broad categories. The overall theme is the honoring of the life and works of Sri BKS Iyengar, and the celebration of his legacy. The classes offered reflect the breadth and diversity of his interests and achievements. The five categories are based on the five-fold analysis of the human condition as recognized by yoga, to each of which BKS Iyengar has made an important contribution. Each category is distinguished in the schedule by a color coded dot and a letter as follows:
● [A] "On the Mat" / Asana ●
● [B] Breath and Energy ●
● [C] "The Divine Is Within" / "Feeling The Presence" ●
● [D] "Off The Mat" / "Giving Back" ●
● [E] Guru Parampara ●

Clicking on the particular color code or letter both above and in the schedule will take you to a fuller description of that category. Please remember, though, that the categories are a rough guide only, because the range of interests of the Faculty is equally diverse, crossing over the suggested category boundaries. You are free to mix and match and to take whatever classes you want. But, on a practical note ... exciting as these classes are, do remember that you will need to plan time to eat, rest, and digest information between one of your planned sessions and the next!
