For the first time after her teaching tour through Europe in 2002, Geeta Iyengar visited Europe in May 2009 for two conventions in Germany and the UK. In Cologne she conducted a five day teachers convention for certified teachers, in which she demonstrated how to deepen one’s personal practice, as well as how to share the work with students as a teacher.

 

Her presence coupled with her tremendous teaching experience and insights, the ‘aura’ of the venue itself, the historical ‘Gürzenich’, and the international community of highly motivated practitioners from 24 countries, created an inspiring, energized atmosphere throughout the entire event.

 

Besides the complete Pranayama and Asana sessions of the five days, the DVD set also contains all Q&A sessions, the lecture and the chanting session. In order to make these 26 hours of film easily searchable for the user, the various sessions have been divided into chapters, which can be accessed from the main menu.

 

 

Geeta Iyengar is co-director of the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in Pune, India. She is a dedicated disciple of her father Yogacharya Sri B.K.S. Iyengar, whose teaching she presents clearly and systematically, making her one of the world’s most respected yoga teachers.
