02 - Iyengar Yoga with Alice Rocky

<div class="col-lg-8 col-md-6 col-12"> <div class="view-episode__description pt-1 mb-4 overflow-hidden"> <p>Tamara and Alice Rocky discuss Iyengar Yoga, a practice during which yogis are encouraged to seek precision in their postures and to fully immerse themselves into their practice, settling into a meditative state as they hold their asanas.</p> <p>Alice Rocky is a full a devotee of the Iyengar approach to yoga. Her own students, she said, have transformed in front of her over time after participating in her classes. The once-hunched senior citizens who are largely sedentary slowly unfurl, their spines straightening once more, and experience an overall improvement in their wellbeing, thanks to the regular stretching and strengthening exercises in Rocky's classes. It is something she said she has personally witnessed in her more than four decades of practicing yoga and teaching at College of Marin.</p> </div> </div>
