"Yoga, an ancient but perfect science, deals with the evolution ofhumanity. This evolution includes all aspects of one's being, from bodilyhealth to self-realization. Yoga means union - the union of body withconsciousness and consciousness with the soul. Yoga cultivates the waysof maintaining a balanced attitude in day-to-day life and endows skill inthe performance of one's actions." BKS Iyengar

Guruji teaching at China India summit

(photo Guruji at China/India Summit)

by Philip Lee

Dramatic movie-like music blares in the background, as the announcerenthusiastically announces, "Guruji is arriving any minute!!" in Mandarin andthen English.

I am among over 1300 people, mostly Asian faces in an ocean of Yoga matsand practitioners.

Everybody once again turns towards the entrance of the sports gymnasium

and this time he really is here.

Hordes of people create a corridor for the highly anticipated Mr. Iyengar ashe travels purposefully towards the platform in the center of the yoga hall.Observing Guruji live, he appears sage-like as he salutes the crowd inNamaste, his body and certainly his spirit give little indication of his 93 yearsof existence.

It has taken me a long distant flight, a train ride, and three attempts toobtain a travel visa to be in Guangzhou, China. For several weeks, it seemedas if my opportunity of a lifetime would not happen.

However, here I am among the most elite Iyengar yoga practitioners. I hadwatched DVDs of Mr. Iyengar's previous workshops; his top students' highperformance of asanas guided by his strict corrections and instructions, and Iam prepared to be pushed to a whole new level of yoga over the next threedays.

During the opening ceremonies of the China summit, Mr. Iyengar was citedas the most notable Guru to visit modern China, the last being Bodhidharmain the 5th/6th century. Records show that Bodhidharma travelled from Indiaand introduced Shaolin monks to a form of yoga to strengthen their bodiesfor meditation. The monks integrated his concepts into Shaolin Kung Fu.

For the Chinese, the yoga summit was a cultural exchange between Chinaand India.

Guruji spoke of the virtues of yoga and explained the difference betweenaction and motion. He told how he adapted his methods when teaching yogato the military and how he envisions yoga will change to suit the culturalneeds of China, possibly incorporating Tai Chi.

Guruji began teaching from the ground up, gearing towards beginners.Emphasizing the toes, he worked up the ankles, through the hamstrings, tothe crown of the head. He made analogies with the centre stem and edges ofleaves, explaining how our consciousness should extend equally from theplum line outwards when performing asanas.

He told us to be aware of our inner and outer skin, so no parts of the bodyare "hard". He explained how as human beings we are like curvy lines andliable to ignorance, and how yoga could help us straighten the line.

I looked around and saw two distinct types of audience; those who latchedonto every word that Guruji spoke, and those who perhaps expected moreexercise. I saw distracted girls texting on their mobile phones and takingpictures of Guruji on the large TV screens while other people napped on theiryoga mats.

I felt the teaching was deeper than most people expected. We didn't do amarathon of concentrated asanas; the overall focus was on inner intentrather than the finer details of individual poses.

Mr. Iyengar explained the qualities that we should be aware of whenpracticing yoga. How we should aspire to cosmic rather than cosmetic beautyand ultimately strive to connect with the cosmic truth.

I saw a sometimes harsh but compassionate Guruji. I saw senior Iyengaryoga teachers being treated like superstars. I saw the hordes relentlesslysnapping photos of tired teachers. I saw organizers making a human fence toblock the crowds from reaching Guruji. I saw tears from Guruji's onstagetranslator as he received his parting gift from Mr. Iyengar.

We, over 1300 of us, were affected by Guruji, by his wisdom, or simply byhis electrifying presence.

By Leslie Hogya

Shirley Daventry French celebrated her Eightieth Birthday much of this pastsummer and continuing now into the fall! She and Derek celebrated many ofthese events together, as they were both born in 1931.

On July 31, a gathering was held at their home, where the family hosted alarge garden party. Friends and family gathered from across North Americafor a wonderful afternoon. Two eagles graced the event when they sat in atree overlooking our festivities.

At the August Footsteps of Patanjali retreat on Salt Spring Island, where theVictoria group has held retreats for over 25 years, the Salt Spring communitysurprised her one night with a cake, and singing.

On September 10, the Iyengar Yoga Centre held a celebration in amagnificent private home. It was a magical evening with great food, andfellowship while the moon rose outside the windows over the Straits ofGeorgia. Greg Sly played the welcoming trumpet, Jane Monroe read one ofher poems and Glenda Balkan Champagne entertained us with her gloriousoperatic voice. Gary Wong hosted. We baked eight cakes, one per decade tomark this special occasion. A lovely letter from Lynne Bowsher President ofIYAC/ ACYI was read.

Shortly after, Shirley and Derek left for three weeks of relaxation in Europe.On their return, it was nearly Thanksgiving weekend, and the date ofShirley's actual birthday.

Friday before that weekend, a letter from Guruji arrived in her honour. In theenclosed note to me he said: "It is heartening to note that Shirley and Derekare celebrating their 80th birthday this year. Both of them are such goodpeople, that it is very hard to find words in expressing gratitude to them. Yethere is a small greeting from me to them. Affectionately, B.K.S. Iyengar."

In the letter to Shirley he pointed out that for Indians, 80 years is veryauspicious, as you have witnessed 1000 full moons.

Shirley continues to inspire and guide many across Canada with her skilledyoga teaching, her clear seeing and sharp wit and wisdom. Shirley all of uswish you many more birthday cakes, and full moons.

Appreciation for Good "Guidelines"

by Barbara Young

I was on the periphery of IYAC/ACYI during my first years of teachingIyengar yoga, renewing my membership annually (with some grumblingabout the cost), participating in assessment from time to time as a candidateor volunteer student, and occasionally attending an AGM.

The IYAC/ACYI "Procedures and Guidelines for Assessment, Certification andTeacher Training" used to arrive in paper form. I would quickly file it in abinder, with scarcely a glance (and some grumbling about how un-yogic itseemed, to have so many rules for what was purportedly a spiritual practice).

In recent years, I've become more involved in IYAC/ACYI. I'm now on thecommittee responsible for the guidelines document. I've seen how organic itis, changing and adapting as our organization evolves. A new edition has justbeen completed.

Corrine Lowen and Marlene Miller are the other committee members. Marleneis the voice of reason and experience, with a remarkable organizationalmemory. Corrine has done anincredible job coordinating this round of major updates. She spent countlessvolunteer hours overseeing the update and communicating with all andsundry in an effort to get it right.Our next project for the "Guidelines" is a possible simple language review soit is easier to read, and a possible content reorganization so information iseasier to find. If you see errors in this edition or have suggestions for thenext, please let me know.

Below is a list of key changes. It is not exhaustive. The updated document isposted on the members' page of our website, so please discard all previousversions and refer to this one. If you prefer a paper copy, you can print it outfrom there.

* Contact Information: Contact information has changed for key people,including the RIMYI Registrar. There is no longer an Assessment Registrar.Instead, there's a new Assessment and Certification Administrative Assistant.* Qualifications: These have been updated for training teachers andteachers of therapeutic yoga.* Introductory I Assessment: Forms have been updated, and the completepackage for Introductory I assessment is now in Appendix G. Lisa Towson isthe new Chair of Introductory I assessment.* Introductory II Candidate Prerequisites and Recommending Letters:Corrections have been made.* Assessment Applications: Changes have been made regardingassessment scheduling and acceptance of assessment registration packages.Geographic proximity is now a factor considered when placing candidates inan assessment. To find out where to send your assessment application, seep. 11.* Pranayama: Pranayama will now be assessed from Intro II onward indifferent ways for different levels of certification.* Host Community Guidelines: These have been updated.

If you're not sure how to access the member's page (and therefore thedocument), contact me, at [email protected], or your regional rep. We

The Difference between Action and Motion

by Pamela Nelson

Mr. Iyengar says, "Yoga is the science of action, not the science of motion."

At first glance you might say, is action and motion not the same thing? Atleast this is what I thought.

But upon reflection I came to understand this sentence. An action is an act that one consciously wills, either physical or mental. Motion on the other hand is any movement or change in position or placethat is not necessarily done consciously.

Mr. Iyengar says, "Action is movement with intelligence."

We can create all sorts of motions every day, like the subconscious lifting ofour hands to our mouths to eat something in front of us and then notremembering eating it; the movement of the breath, even when we are notpaying attention to it.

Action, on the other hand, requires us to consciously put awareness into themovement. We are aware we are putting something into our mouths andconscious of the texture and taste. We are paying attention to the breath,how it is moving in our bodies and actively participating in its movementthrough the practice of Pranayama.

Mr. Iyengar says, "To live in the moment and not in the movement ofmoment."

This is Yoga!

The statement in Light on Pranayama that says, "knowledge without actionand action without knowledge do not help man. They must be intermingled,"begins to make more sense.

If we have knowledge, but don't put it into action, it is fruitless and if wehave action with no knowledge of why, it is fruitless.

Mr. Iyengar says - "Take action, no matter how small."

Mr. Iyengar did not become the yoga master he is overnight! He hasdedicated more than 75 years to his yoga practice. It is only through ourmany small actions that we can perceive that larger ones may happen.

Lord Krishna says in the Bhagavad Gita, "Yoga is skillfulness in action."

As Mr. Iyengar explains in Light on Astanga Yoga, skilful action is an actionthat is performed with skilful intelligence. He says every action yields fruit,yet it is the selfish motive behind the action that we must avoid. He says thatone should not expect or accept any reward or fruit of his action.

When this is done the action already ends with fruits! That does not mean weare to do an action without aim, but without ambition for the self.

To end with a quote from Ernest Hemingway, "Never mistake motion for

action." We too often can have the appearance of action, when really we are "justgoing through the motions," I hope you can bring more action to your everyday and your every movement. . . no matter how small.

Timer

by Dhana Musil

I am preparing for my level two Iyengar yogaexamination. I haven't been able to get pasta nine-minute holding of sirsasana. I amcertain I crumble prematurely because Idon't have a proper timer.

After a morning of scouring Tokyo, I find it. It has all the features I need plus a magnetto stick it on the side of the fridge.

It's Mothers Day, so I dial my home number and hope my mother answersfrom across the ocean. I haven't seen her in almost two years. I notice awhite, vinyl purse lying on the floor of the phone booth.

I absentmindedly flip open the cracked plastic wallet with one hand. Itcontains the equivalent of thirty dollars and an old train ticket. Asteya comesto mind. I look up to see a woman running towards me.

In expletives, she's accusing me of stealing her bag at the department storeand hiding in this telephone booth. I try to reason with her, but she lunges atme and rips off my backpack. She throws it to the ground, stands on it, anddials 110.

A crowd has formed around us. It doesn't help that today I lam wearing mybaseball cap and army surplus pants. The crowd probably sees me as somekind of "Unabomber" girl.

I hear sirens approach from the south. I couldn't believe they sent a cruiserwith flashing lights for this.

During the ten minute ride to the police station I breathe deeply, drawing onpranayama breathing techniques to stay calm and centered and take refugein satya.

The three officers assigned to my case ask to inspect the contents of my bag.They find a few cosmetics, notebooks and a partially eaten sushi triangle. The officer in charge asks me about the small wrapped package.

"Sore wa taima desu." That's a timer.

"Taima?" he repeats, in an alarmed tone.

"Hai, so desu." Yes, that's right.


13 of 16 11/29/11 9:35 AM

The gentle expression on his face transforms into a dry frown and he walksout of the room. He returns with his superior. Are they equating my timerwith an explosive device? The idea of anyone thinking of me as violent isridiculous. Ahimsa is the cornerstone of yoga and I do my best to live by thisteaching.

The superior arrives. "Akete mo ii desu ka?" Is it alright if I unwrap this?"Hai Douzo" Sure, go ahead.

He unwraps the timer and they speak amongst themselves. Faces redden.Finally, they explain that "taima" is Japanese slang for "marijuana." Do theythink I would have been this calm if I had an ounce of marijuana in my pack?

For the first time since I arrived two hours ago it is implied that my accusermay be "slightly" off balance. The officers walk me to the front door, bowdeeply and apologize profusely. I am free to go.

By the time I get home it's close to six pm. After a light meal to settle mynerves, I set my timer to 10.00.
