We mentioned in our last newsletter that Fall is the season of letting go. It is the time to turn inwards and take stock of what has happened this year. About the time we turned inward, we received the sad news about the destruction in the central Philippines. I, personally, spent 27 months in these gorgeous islands as a US Peace Corps volunteer. As part of iHanuman's mission of service, we donate 5% of sales of our downloads to charitable organizations. We have donated thousands of dollars to Charitable Organizations over the past few years. In honor of the Philippines, we will donate 5% of the sales of our downloads from November 2013 through the end of January 2014 towards supporting recovery efforts in the PI. Our donations will go to a locally recognized organization located specifically in the location most widely devastated by the Typhoon, called The Visayas. Help us support the Philippines Now!
We are also celebrating the 95th birthday of BKS Iyengar. One of Mr. Iyengar's senior teacher's, Lois Steinberg, recorded a twelve-week introduction to asana series. This series is an excellent way to begin your home practice of yoga with one of the world's most respected and prolific teachers. Learn about the yoga practice that Mr. Iyengar began practicing and teaching almost 80 years ago carried on through the teachings of one of his students. The cold weather and the season's cue to turn inwards and go inside, is the perfect time to start a regular home yoga practice. Start your Introduction to Yoga Practice Today!
