A hearty thanks to IyengarYoga.org for helping us keep the Austin Yoga School yoga classes going at the Travis County SHORT program. These classes, for people involved in rehabilitation from drug and alcohol abuse, are taught in the Iyengar method, and have been taught on a volunteer-only basis for over three years. Guruji advised us as to sequencing appropriate to these issues, so we've been fortunate to have his direct guidance.

The students appreciate having a "group" where the focus is meditatively on the body and breath; they seem to be making progress in the yoga area and we have many repeat attendees. We meet only once a week, and more often of course would be ideal, but even this amount of yoga has made a difference for many.

We have used the money to acquire more props and to buy cleaning equipment to facilitate our keeping of all the props sparkling clean. This way we can promote the niyama of saucha in the classes. May the light of Iyengar Yoga continue to shine around the globe!
