SUBBING for Yvonne this weekend HAUM Studios (MISSION):
2/1 @ 9:00AM - Iyengar Yoga - Align and Flow
with Max Kopeikin/Maxwell Yoga

As we process everything we are seeing and hearing in the news, from Iran to Minniapolis and on our own streets, we want you to know we are sanctuary for you no matter who you are and where you are from. We remain steadfast in our commitment to embracing our entire community with love, support and solidarity and affirm our support for you, your freedom and rights.

This month we turn to the teachings of The Bhagavad Gita, the beloved yogic text, for support and practical guidance to help us navigate our challenging world. The Bhagavad Gita was born from a crisis - teachings spoken at a moment of despair. Yet from this moment came some of humanity’s greatest spiritual teachings. In our darkest hour, The Bhagavad Gita teaches us to remember that we carry within us the same divine strength that guided Arjuna through the battlefield of Kurukshetra. We are taught that every challenge we face can be an opportunity for spiritual growth 🏹

The Bhagavad Gita begins with Arjuna’s complete breakdown - a warrior paralyzed, unable to act, overwhelmed by inner conflict. Krishna’s response to Arjuna’s crisis provides a roadmap for navigating life’s most challenging moments through the paths and practices of yoga as skill in action. This teaches us difficult times can serve as a spiritual purpose: they strip away our illusions, force us to find inner strength we didn’t know we had, and lead us to a deeper understanding of life and our true selves.

During periods of intense turmoil and change many of us are feeling overwhelmed. There is a collective need for nurturing and soothing our nervous and emotional systems. This is where practice helps. At Lotusland Yoga SF we practice all Eight Limbs of Yoga as a holistic path addressing the whole person in every class, with the purpose of benefiting our world.❤️

Remembering Geetaji
Today marks the seventh Punyatithi (death anniversary) of Dr Geeta S. Iyengar, lovingly known as Geetaji.
7 December 1944 – 16 December 2018

A pioneering teacher and a powerful force for women in yoga, Geetaji’s clarity, discipline, and compassion touched the lives of millions of students worldwide.

In December 2018 She taught a 10-day Centenary programme for Guruji’s 100th birth anniversary, saying:
“Don’t worry, I will be with you for the centenary, then my work will be done.”
She passed away just two days later, on 16 December 2018.

“I am not in my father’s shadow, but in his light.”

If Guruji is the father of Iyengar Yoga, Geetaji is its mother, shaping the method with her fierce intelligence, precision, and care, especially for women’s practice and therapeutic work.

Today, we honour her legacy, her teachings, and her enduring presence in our practice.
