IYENGARNYC.ORG ASSOCIATION OF GREATER NEW YORK

WHO WE ARE Founded in 1987, the Iyengar Yoga Association of Greater New York (IYAGNY) is a vibrant and thriving nonprofit educational organization. The Association serves more than 1,400 Members throughout our three-state region of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. The Association runs two teaching Institutes, one in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan, and the other in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn. IYAGNY offers more than 100 daily classes per week, over 100 Series and Workshops a year, provides scholarships for 15 students annually, and offers free classes for students living with HIV and Breast Cancer.

To inspire and enable progressive lifelong learning and practice in the art, science, and philosophy of Iyengar Yoga

To develop, nurture, and offer teaching of the highest standards

To build and support a community of practitioners within the three-state region of our charter

2 IYENGAR YOGA

Profound, intelligent, and transformative, Iyengar Yoga is for every age, body type, and fitness level. Iyengar Yoga provides practical tools to create and maintain bodily health and vitality, mental clarity, emotional serenity, and spiritual well-being. Developed by B.K.S. Iyengar during his more than 75 years of teaching, Iyengar Yoga is grounded in the ancient Indian tradition and philosophy of Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras.

Our teachers are rigorously trained and dedicated. Our classes focus on strength and stamina, flexibility and balance, concentration and meditation in action – our method is a pathway to complete alignment.

B.K.S. IYENGAR

Internationally acknowledged as the modern During more than seventy-five years of master of yoga, B.K.S. Iyengar (1918- teaching, he developed the innovative and 2014) is universally honored for the depth inspired method of yoga, which is taught of his understanding and teaching of the under his name. Iyengar Yoga is not only one art, science, and philosophy of yoga. He of the world’s most practiced methods of is the author of , the most yoga; its principles are now incorporated into authoritative text, Light on the teaching of yoga under many names as , Light on the Yoga Sutras, Tree well as into many other forms of exercise, of Yoga, Light on Life and other exceptional therapy, and movement. reference works. Mr. Iyengar was also a pioneer in the therapeutic applications of yoga to the treatment of many medical conditions and physical problems. Medical professionals and research in many disciplines in countries have recognized the efficacy of his method. His revolutionary use of yoga props allows students of all ages and abilities to work to their fullest potential while overcoming limitations. It is perhaps his greatest achievement that B.K.S. Iyengar has made yoga accessible to and relevant for everyone. 3 FROM OUR BOARD PRESIDENT

The Iyengar Yoga Association of Greater New York (IYAGNY) touches the lives of thousands of students who seek the profound, intelligent, and transformative impact of the Iyengar Yoga practice. Unique among yoga resources in the New York metropolitan area, IYAGNY was constituted as a non-profit organization because teachers, administrators and students alike are dedicated to a lofty mission: to make Iyengar Yoga available and accessible to all people regardless of age, ability, or means.

I am pleased to report that IYAGNY is in a stable financial position. This is in part due to 3,200+ new students who experienced Iyengar Yoga with us for the first time in 2017. In 2017, we increased the number of Certified Iyengar Yoga Teachers on faculty to 35 — 15% more than the prior year. We awarded 15 scholarships to students in need. We continue to partner with Brooklyn Community Services to host classes for developmentally disabled adults; and, remain committed to running our free-of-charge classes for students living with HIV and Breast Cancer.

Many of you took part in Special Series dedicated to topics from “Healthy Hips” to “Finding Fluidity” in your practice. In 2018, we have an ambitious program of Guest Teachers from around the world—including, Edwin Bryant, the esteemed scholar of Hindu philosophy—who will share their knowledge of the yoga sutras and practice.

This year many of our teachers are celebrating the 100th anniversary of Mr. Iyengar’s birth by visiting Pune and taking class at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute with members of the Iyengar family. As students, we can look forward to new learnings and a deepening practice as those lessons are transmitted to us by our teachers at the Institute.

After a trying year for many of us, IYAGNY has proven time and again to be an essential haven for those devoted to Iyengar Yoga as a means to achieve balance and equanimity. As Mary Dunn wrote more than a decade ago, “Yoga can teach us how to stand on our own two feet and to live within ourselves completely, how to cultivate uninterrupted and complete awareness, and how to investigate, participate, and fully accept the life process.” On behalf of the other Board members, administrative staff, and faculty, I’d like to thank our loyal, longtime students and supporters and ask each of you to share the wisdom, compassion and well-being you’ve gained from your study with others.

Sincerely,

Caren Rabbino IYAGNY Board President 4 A MESSAGE FROM OUR DIRECTORS

For more than 30 years the Iyengar Yoga Association of Greater New York has been providing inspiration and a space for the lifelong practice in the art, science, and philosophy of Iyengar Yoga to an increasingly large and inter-connected community of students and teachers in the greater New York Metropolitan area.

In the last three years, the number of CIYTs on Faculty and in our Association have increased by more than 20%. We have set new milestones: in student visits, topping 60,000 in each of the last two years; in total classes taught, offering more than 5,000 individual daily classes in 2017; and, in our fundraising efforts, raising more than $165,000 annually since 2016.

Through it all, our commitment to our mission has not wavered, together we:

• Inspire and enable progressive lifelong learning and practice in the art, science, and philosophy of Iyengar Yoga • Develop, nurture, and offer teaching of the highest standards • Build and support a community of practitioners within the three-state region of our charter

Everything we have accomplished these past 30 years would not be possible without the ongoing, increasing, and tireless efforts of our staff, teachers, Board, students, and volunteers. In a world that is constantly changing, we are lucky to have the profound experience of Iyengar Yoga. During times like these, we take inspiration from the words of Guruji, who once said:

“When your body, mind and soul are healthy and harmonious, you will bring health and harmony to those around you and health and harmony to the world – not by withdrawing from the world, but by being a healthy living organ of the body of humanity.”

We are dedicated to continually enhancing your learning and understanding as students and teachers. We are motivated by a purpose to honor the transformative effects of Iyengar Yoga, within a space where all are welcome, regardless of age, infirmity, or background. We are honored to serve as Directors of IYAGNY and look forward to a bright future.

Sincerely,

James Murphy Edward McKeaney Association Director Executive Director

5 ASSOCCIATION TEACHERS & INSTITUTE FACULTY

At the heart of our Association are the Certified Iyengar Yoga Teachers (CIYTs) who spread the teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar throughout the tri-state region. With their continued enthusiasm, dedication, and inspired teachings, Iyengar Yoga is reaching thousands in our charter. In 2017, the Association was home to 165 CIYTs. HOW DO YOU BECOME AN IYENGAR YOGA TEACHER? To become a certified teacher, one must take an exam organized through the Iyengar Yoga National Association of the United Stated (IYNAUS) called “assessment,” which lasts an entire weekend and includes a demonstrated practice of and pranayama, a written exam and a demonstration of teaching approximately 6 poses from their syllabus in 40 or 50 minutes depending on the level of Certification. There are several levels of Certification: Introductory I and II; Intermediate Junior I, II and III; Intermediate Senior I, II and III; Advanced Junior I, II and III; and, Advanced Senior I and II.

Candidates must be recommended by two teachers, including a mentor and a recommending teacher and will be assessed by three teachers. They may or may not have attended a formal teacher training program, or may be apprenticing with a more senior teacher.

TEACHER TRAINING & CONTINUING EDUCATION PROGRAMS Our teacher training program was founded by Mary Dunn when the Institute opened in 1992 and has become a more and more formalized and nationally recognized program of the highest standards. James Murphy has run the program since winter 2008. In 2017, Naghmeh Ahi and Matt Dreyfus joined with Tori Milner as assistants. It is a comprehensive, intensive two-year program. The main principle is to learn how to teach by teaching with on-the-spot feedback. It also explores basic anatomy and philosophy in addition to covering the and on the Introductory certification.

Our continuing education classes are offered to all Certified Association Teachers once a month in the winter, spring and summer, but typically not in the fall as that is when assessments take place. These 4-hour classes cover poses on all the certification syllabi. In 2017, the program was revamped by James Murphy and Lara Warren to better address the needs of our Association Teachers and Teacher Trainee graduates.

We also offer all Association Teachers free 2-hour studies with teachers sharing their experience who have just returned from Pune.

INSTITUTE FACULTY In 2017, we added several new teachers to our faculty, including: Norma Colon, Nikki Costello, Santiago Hernandez, Dan Shuman, and Mimi Visser, bringing our total faculty to 35. In addition, we provided three live web-broadcast professional development seminars for our Association Teachers on the topics of Financial Planning for the Future; Small Business Development; and, Social Media and Marketing.

The Iyengar Yoga Institutes of New York and Brooklyn are the practical teaching arms of IYAGNY.

There are more than 100 daily classes taught at our two Institutes, with up to 13 scheduled classes throughout the day. Institute faculty members generously donate their time to teach Beginner Classes and Saturday/Sunday Workshops, with all proceeds going directly to the Association.

Institute faculty also teach Special Series, which allow students to focus their study on particular aspects of Iyengar Yoga, such as specific asanas and pranayama. Our Special Series appeal to both novice and experienced practitioners and in 2017 we offered a variety of topics such as a special focused Level 3 Series, Healthy Neck & Shoulders, Addressing Asymmetry & Scoliosis, Yoga & Ayurveda, and Home Practice, among others.

One of the most important experiences in Iyengar Yoga is one’s first class. We offer special discounts to all first-time students, as well as dedicated Beginner Classes and Series, which run regularly all year long.

9 SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITY

As a registered 501 (c)(3) non-profit educational organization, we rely on the generosity of our students to provide a portion of the resources that we need to keep our doors open. In 2017, our budget expanded to $1.7 million dollars with more than 75% of our expenses being dedicated to programmatic initiatives.

In 2017 more than 1,160 individuals contributed to the Association’s mission and programs, totaling more than $160,000 in addition, we received $10,000 in Foundation support.

NO FEE CLASSES FOR THE COMMUNITY Currently, IYAGNY offers three free-of-charge classes on a weekly basis for our students as part of our ongoing commitment to our community. • Breast Health: Since 2008, the Institute has sponsored classes tailored to the physical, psychological, and emotional needs of people living with or having survived breast cancer. • HIV: This unique class incorporates postures appropriate for people living with HIV/AIDS. • Sutra Study: A study group that meets weekly to explore the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.

SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAMS Each year the Association offers a Scholarship Program to students who cannot afford the cost to attend classes regularly. In 2017, more than 15 students were provided with weekly classes for $5/each.

In 2017, the Yoga Anywhere Fund pledged more than $5,000 to support scholarships for our Teacher Training Program. Starting in 2018, students who qualify will receive a significant supplement to help them with the costs of the program.

COMMUNITY CLASS Since 2015, the Yoga Anywhere Fund has provided essential support to expand the reach of Iyengar Yoga in communities near the Iyengar Yoga Institute of Brooklyn. The Community Class is offered each week for the price of $5 and is taught by Iyengar Yoga Student Teachers to gain teaching experience. In addition, the class provides Certified Iyengar Yoga Teachers an opportunity to supervise and give valuable feedback to less experienced teachers – a vital skill in their ongoing education.

10 SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITY

SPECIFIC NEEDS CLASS The Association’s weekly Specific Needs Class hosts students with a variety of health conditions, such as Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and injuries to the back, neck, wrists, and shoulders. Each student in the class consults with teachers who design a specific sequence of poses to address individual conditions and track the student’s progress over time.

BROOKLYN COMMUNITY SERVICES Since 2015, IYAGNY has worked closely with Brooklyn Community Services, one of New York City’s largest social service organizations, to offer a weekly class for their population of developmentally disabled adults. Funded in part by BCS, the program provides BCS clients with a weekly physical activity, helping to increase their balance, awareness, stamina, and overall health.

COMMUNITY EVENTS Throughout the year, the Association hosts free-of-charge events and programs to help build relationships among our students and give opportunities for potential new students to engage and learn about Iyengar Yoga. Events included:

•Yogathon – our 2017 Yogathon was a day full of fun, merriment, and live yoga demonstrations. In addition to being the most successful Yogathon to-date, raising more than $110,000, the event allows us to celebrate publicly our many Association Teachers. • Guru Purnima – an annual celebration held during the second full moon of July on which we honor our teachers. • B.K.S. Birthday Celebration – held each December, the Association holds a free Members’ Class and gathering to celebrate and honor Mr. Iyengar’s birth. • September Yoga Month – each September any current student can bring a friend for free to any daily class to help spread the teachings of Iyengar Yoga.
