Jacqueline has been studying Yoga for the past 20 years. She trained at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in Pune India with the Iyengars. She has been familiar with Yoga since early childhood, when she would come home to find her father standing on his head. She holds a BA degree in Fine Arts and Communications from Santa Clara University, and has been a docent and teacher at the SF MOMA for 15 years.
The practice of Iyengar Yoga allows for a mental health and physical strength. The classes are vigorous, and students should expect to work hard. You will learn to re-align your body in order to improve flexibility, strength and balance. Assistance will be provided, with the use of props such as blocks, chairs, blankets, and straps, which will facilitate comfortable adjustment in each posture and allow you to work in a range of motion most suitable to your body's needs. You will learn how each posture helps to cure and prevent common injuries that result from playing tennis, golf, running, biking, and other such common activities. You will leave the class feeling rejuvenated, and assume sensations of calm, clarity, and well-being.
