Iyengar in the wilderness

February 12-17, 2026

With several hours of yoga per day, you'll learn not just asanas, but mental balance and connectedness through the Iyengar method. (No Iyengar experience required.) We'll also have ample opportunity for hikes, meditation, and dharma discussion.

Iyengar, the founder of Iyengar yoga, and other members of the Iyengar family. He was first drawn to yoga for its physical benefits, but stayed for its ability to steady the mind in uncertain times. He is also an accomplished musician.
