yoga teachers fellowship

Prop Up: B.S.K. Iyengar Hatha Yoga led by Lars Kruger, certificated teacher of the Iyengar method.

On Saturday 5th June another successful YTF Yoga Day was held at the ISHTA school in Illovo. The day consisted of a morning workout - Iyengar style - led by the legendary Lars Kruger, one of SA’s favourite male yoga teachers (and when you see him you’ll know why!) From hop out jumps to holding well aligned asanas, by the time lunch time came around everyone had worked up a good appetite - and we certainly weren’t disappointed with the fabulous vegetarian spread thanks to Ariel’s ‘Free Food’ catering! The afternoon followed with an introduction to ‘The Journey‘ by Brandon Bays, guided by Juditte Schlebusch who shared some light on the work she has been doing with the children of the Alexandra townships. All went home feeling healthy, nourished and inspired to give back to the community. Now isn’t that what it’s all about! (By Hayley Alexander)
