Dear fellow yogis of the Southeast region!
I hope you are all well, safe, and healthy.
As we transition into 2021, we still find ourselves in the midst of the pandemic which has created challenges & opportunities for all of us. Some of IYASE Board Members have changed for the new year and with that transition, new opportunities for ideas, some changes to roles, and modifications to the IYASE Bylaws. We’ve created an Orientation Package for our new members with all the important information they need for a great start.
We are conducting committee meetings to finalize our 2021 Strategic Plan. These meetings give us the opportunity to organize efforts, be clear in goals and work together to reach our vision. We’re committed to integrate and support our region. We are excited to share these ideas with you on how we plan to highlight and support all the states in our region very soon!
The efforts to inform and connect with all of you is our top priority for IYASE. Please connect with us via Facebook, Instagram, Twitter & LinkedIn.
As always, I look forward to hearing from you with any questions or suggestions. We are all in this wonderful Iyengar yoga community together!
Much love and Namaste,
Mariana Scotti
2020-1 IYASE President

IYNAUS OUTREACH - DEIJ Committee
Yoga and Equity Symposium Third Topic
The IYNAUS Outreach-DEIJ Committee hosted the third in its series of Yoga and Equity Symposium events: The Legacy of Racism and the Ethics of Yoga. Covering the history of race as an idea, the measurable effects of racism on BIPOC communities, and how to work within affected communities, the event was the largest yet and sparked discussion about the congruence of yoga study and anti-racist actions. The next Symposium event is scheduled for March, 2021.
IYASE has started a Facebook group to discuss and share information and resources about diversity, equity, inclusion and justice in Iyengar yoga. Click here to check it out and join. |
