John Schumacher Teaches Parsvottanasana

This week marks the week of BKS Iyengar's 90th birthday. In honor of this auspicious event, iHanuman humbly offers you asanas as taught in the Iyengar method by Senior Iyengar Yoga Teacher John Schumacher. John is among the students who has traveled to India this week to celebrate with Mr. Iyengar.

iHanuman will post asanas every day until the winter solstice in honor of this event. Parsvottanasana or Extended Sides of the Body Pose is a foundational standing pose in the Iyengar Tradition and a great prep for the more advanced revolved standing poses.

For more information on Mr. Iyengar and the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute (RIMYI), please visit www.bksiyengar.com. For more information on John Schumacher, please visit www.unitywoods.com. For more live audio classes from John Schumacher and other fantastic teachers, please visit www.ihanuman.com
Thank you for helping to build the bridge with iHanuman. Namaste.

Yes, it's done differently in BKS Iyengar's book, but this is how Parsvottanasana is now taught to beginners in the Iyengar Yoga method. It's "approved" by the Iyengars.
