Yoga teaches us to look within to examine our tendencies, particularly those that reinforce the idea of a separate self identified with external and transient characteristics. In an effort to help members along on this introspective journey, a journey essential to making the Iyengar yoga community open and welcoming to all, we created a guide and resource workbook. You can find it here and in the member benefits area of the IYNAUS website. Welcome and Belonging Workbook We will invite our community members to review the Welcome and Belonging Best Practices Resource Guide and Workbook, whether it’s your first time with it or if you attended our kick-off event and have reviewed and used it many times.
