Saturday, June 21st: Strengthening the Pelvic Floor
9:30am – 12pm. Standing, sitting and forward extensions:
To guard against and address urinary disorders (such as incontinence), and any kind of pelvic floor inflammation (i.e., cystitis), this morning’s sequence tones the pelvic floor, and also the bladder where it has lost the ability to contract. In addition, these poses regenerate the internal reproductive organs.
2 – 4pm. Reclining poses, and supported inversions:
This afternoon’s sequence supports, re-educates, and strengthens the pelvic floor, the bladder and the internal reproductive organs (such as the uterus). Although stress incontinence is most prevalent in women (caused by pregnancy, childbirth, constipation, and obesity), the poses we work on today also speak to men’s health (i.e prostate gland).
Sunday, June 22nd: Repairing the Nervous System
9.30am – 12pm. Inversions, supine asana, supported back bends, and pranayama:
This mentally calming and physically rejuvenating sequence teaches us to be in the asana longer and penetrate deeper. Students will use inversions, supine asana, supported back bends, and pranayama, to become familiar and more confident with a deeper level of internal practice.
Bobby Clennell: Bobby’s study of Iyengar Yoga began in 1972 in the UK. She was certified to teach by B.K.S. Iyengar in 1977, and has made subsequent trips to Pune at one to two yearly intervals. She began teaching yoga in London in1975, and combined this with a twenty-year career in cartoon animation. She began teaching yoga in New York in 1995.
Bobby considers herself blessed to have studied directly with B.K.S. Iyengar. The profound and cathartic effect of the six or so intensives of his that she attended remains with her to this day. She also considers herself fortunate to have studied with Geeta Iyengar who inspired and informed her work with women; and Prashant Iyengar, whose knowledge of yoga philosophy and its history and culture is unsurpassed. Bobby also remains grateful to Mary Dunn for her teaching and her selfless work in establishing the New York Institute.
Bobby is a core faculty member of the IYINY, and currently teaches: The women’s class, level II, level III, and the Restorative class.
Bobby has taught workshops throughout the US, Australia, the Middle East, China, Japan, SE Asia and Europe. She has written three yoga manuals: The Iyengar Yoga Glossary, Props and Ailments (currently being re-worked) and A Cosmic Body Map. She has three published books (which she also illustrated): The Women’s Yoga Book: Asana and Pranayama for All Phases of The Menstrual Cycle, Yoga for Breast Health, and her children’s book: Watch Me Do Yoga. Her animated film, Yoga Yantra, which is generated from film footage of B.K.S. Iyengar can be viewed at www.bobbyclennell.com or search for it on YouTube.com.
