Geetaji on a Woman's Yoga Practice
Read "The Practice of Women During the Whole Month," a lecture given by Dr. Geeta S. Iyengar in Poland during her 2002 visit to Europe. Edited and expanded by Geetaji for her visit to Europe last year, it has been printed by the Iyengar Yoga Association of the UK.
Succinctly and clearly, Geetaji explains how women should adjust their practice to the hormonal changes of the menstrual cycle.
Illustrated with photos, the lecture is essential information for all women practitioners and all Iyengar Yoga teachers

Research on Iyengar Yoga and Chronic Back Pain
by Kimberly WilliamsKimberly Williams, an Intermediate Junior I teacher in Morgantown, WV, designed and conducted a pioneering study on the effect of Iyengar Yoga therapy on chronic lower back pain. She worked with the support of Senior Teacher Lois Steinberg, Ph.D., and John Petronis, M.S. This pilot study provided the data that allowed Williams to obtain a National Institutes of Health grant for a larger, more rigorous study.
