This is Kathy Alef, my 70-year old Iyengar yoga teacher, who's been teaching for some 30-40 years. She has just about zero online presence save for her 1-page website. And in fact, when I first showed her this video I "secretly" took 6 months ago, her response was that I don't post it anywhere. This is how shy and modest Kathy is. Now, the Iyengar Institute is running its annual fundraiser - so I asked again if I could post this to help her raise funds for the studio. She hesitated for a long while, days, before she finally agreed. Please help me help her and the great teachers at IYISF keep the studio up and thriving so that she may continue to bring her loving bark into her many students' lives, who are now magnificent teachers in their own right. Please make a donation of any amount you can here- http://bit.ly/KathyAlef2017. Namaste!

I'm all about going upside down! Niralamba sarvangasan (unsupported shoulder stand) against the wall is such a restorative pose for me. Inversions, when done properly, serve to calm the nervous system and quiet the mind. Ommm. #yoga #yogaeverywhere #yogalife #yogaeveryday #iloveyoga #yogainspiration #gratitude #namaste #sarvangasana #lifeisgood #sanfrancisco #satoriyogastudio

Setu bandha sarvangasana (supported bridge) on crossed bolsters is yummy on the back, as it shows on @mimsmac face. So lovely to help a happy back. 😊#yoga #iloveyoga #yogaeveryday #yogaathome #yogalife #ilovesanfrancisco #sanfrancisco #yogaeverywhere #namaste #restorativeyoga (at NOPA District)

Breathing into and working out all the injured parts of my body in Ardha Baddha Padma Paschimottanasana: easing the right hip, knee and even the healing fractured tip of my middle finger.

At Lois Steinberg's intensive Day 1, she went up to this headstand, steady as a crane, and went on to arm variations, 'niralamba sirsana' - unsupported headstand, extending her arms out, crossing arms 'baddha hastasan' the whole while, talking to us, and barely a waver in her body. She's been teaching #iyengaryoga for 35 years. That's what #inspires me. The steadfastness, and slow-steady-strong practice/teachings of these senior Iyengar teachers. And even more heartfelt are their stories, personal and of students, how Iyengar yoga has helped heal if not ease endless ailments. Many bows! #yoga #yogalife #yogalove #iyisf #yogaeveryday #iloveyoga #iyengar #satoriyogastudio #gratitude (at Iyengar Yoga Institute of San Francisco)

Yes, I truly learn a lot from my students. Here's Alicia from the Cisco-Meraki class, sharing an awesome gift with an awesome message.. "..find the miracle of joyful living regardless of life circumstance" - namaste!

Keong Hee Huat Chye, y'all! May the red fire monkey bring an abundance of joy, health and Santosha (contentment.) I found inspiration over the wknd at #muirwoods with the beau hiking all the way up to #mttamalpais and finding a park bench and rock as awesome props. For the OX in me, I'm teaching three classes later today at #satoriyogastudio - see you there! #yogaeverywhere #yogaeveryday #iloveyoga #sanfrancisco #ilovesanfrancisco #iyengaryoga #cny2016 #lululemon #love #yogainspiration #yogalove #yoga #gratitude (at Mt.
