Benefits of Membership:

What are the benefits of becoming a member of the Iyengar Yoga Association of the Southeast?

As a member of IYASE, you will receive many benefits and a partial list of the benefits is listed below.  

Greatest among the many benefits, is your part in our ever-growing yoga community and the knowledge that you are contributing to the greater good by helping to increase public awareness of the benefits of yoga, and of Iyengar yoga in particular.  Our members become a part of a network of regional yoga practitioners that help to foster sangha.

Sangha is a spiritual community of practitioners who understand the challenges and the joys of being on a spiritual journey and who can, for example, remind one another of the joys during times of challenge.  By becoming a member of the regional association, and sharing information and experience with one another, you help to bring the community closer together and make it stronger.

Here is a partial listing of IYASE member benefits:

    • The IYASE Newsletter, published three times per year, that includes:
      • a practice column created by senior teachers and the Iyengars
      • a list of workshops by certified Iyengar teachers scheduled throughout the region
      • a column on the yoga sutras with commentaries on how to apply these precious ‘threads’ to our sadhana (our practice and daily lives)
      • newsworthy and insightful articles by members that cover events in the region as well as events in the Iyengar community at large.
    • Scholarship opportunities for members in need to attend IYASE-sponsored workshops and Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in Pune, India
    • Free listing on the regional website (www.iyase.org) for all certified teachers.
