Iyengar Yoga Together with Shaili Shafai

In this immersive workshop, Shaili will introduce a new perspective that emerges when we come together to support each others' practice. Using props and precision, we will delve deep into the principles of Iyengar yoga.  This workshop is not just about individual growth, but also about the potential that unfolds when we help each other reach beyond what we can achieve on our own.

With guidance, we'll explore the intricacies of alignment, balance, and flexibility, nurturing a deeper connection with our bodies and minds. Through partner work and shared insights, we will learn to harness our collective energy, creating an empowering atmosphere to inspire growth and inform our future practice.

Please note: This workshop is for students with at least 2 years regular practice and will feature hands-on adjustments. It is not suitable if you are pregnant.

We will provide a light vegan/vegetarian lunch in the social area of the Vishuddha Centre during the 1 hour lunctime break. If you wish to attend only the morning session of the workshop and lunch you can use the the promo code TOGETHER at checkout and receive a discount. The afternoon session will focus on quieter practice.

About Shaili:
I am a professional Level 3 (Senior 1) Iyengar Yoga teacher and mentor. My journey with Iyengar Yoga began at the age of ten in 1994 when I joined the children’s classes at the Iyengar Center of Tehran in Iran. As a child, I also attended remedial classes since I was born with hip dysplasia. Yoga has been a lifelong source of strength and inspiration for me, and the global Iyengar Yoga community has become my second family. Through yoga, I have had the privilege of traveling extensively, including several visits to India, to the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute (RIMYI) and to Bellur. Much of my understanding of yoga is owed to my teacher, Faeq Biria, who profoundly influenced my approach to the path of yoga. I have attended more than a thousand hours of intensive workshops with him and relied on his guidance until a couple of months before his passing. I earned my Introductory 1 certification from Faeq in France in 2006 and obtained my Senior 1 certificate in the UK in November 2018.

Cost: £50 (10% discount for for those who would like to attend only the 3 hour morning session and lunch with promo code TOGETHER at checkout) Book here
