“Let us be full in whatever posture it is we are doing, just as we should be full in whatever we do in our lives.” — B.K.S. Iyengar, Light on Life
This weekend immersion invites beginner students to explore how the practice of yoga can expand our awareness—of body, breath, and being. We will look at principles of extension and expansion, learning when to stretch beyond our usual habits to find both strength and release.
You can expect:
- Daily Yoga Practices focusing on the foundational poses in the Iyengar approach: Including active asana (postures), with time for breath, conversation, chanting, philosophical reflection and community connection.
- Philosophy Discussions: A beginner-friendly introduction to key yoga concepts and their connection to Iyengar Yoga through the book Light on Life by BKS Iyengar.
- Saturday Night Fun: A meal together and a short, inspiring movie—perfect for fostering community.
- Personalized Approach: You’ll learn in a way that’s accessible, even if you’re still finding your feet in yoga.
The group practices, meal and time within the studio community will provide you with tremendous support and introspection. Over the three days, you will experience more space and expansion—inside the body and out in our lives.
This is for students who are relatively new to Iyengar Yoga, with less than two years of Iyengar Yoga experience. Whether this is your first immersion or you are continuing to explore Iyengar Yoga, you’ll be guided with care and curiosity. If you’re eager to deepen your exploration of yoga in an active and engaging way, this is for you!
It’s okay to be stiff or unfamiliar with some poses! You’ll be supported in a space where you can grow and learn at your own pace.
It will be held in person at Adeline Yoga Studio in Berkeley, CA.

What students think of these Immersions:
"I loved our immersion weekend! I felt like the pace was just right... Anneke listened closely to us and adapted her teaching to address and embody our questions. She's also such a bright and engaging spirit that she helps the rest of us stay engaged and curious. It felt like a safe place to learn and also to "stretch" - try new things. I appreciated learning more about the philosophical roots of Iyengar yoga as well as the founder. And the food was delicious! Overall, this was a wonderful community experience." - V. C.
