Product Description
Yoga Journal Presents: Iyengar Intensive at Estes Park 5 DVD set
Live and uncut, over 25 hours of B.K.S Iyengar's latest teaching from the Yoga Journal 2005 Estes Park Conference. An essential DVD for all Iyengar students and teachers!
In September 2005, Sri B.K.S. Iyengar participated in a much-heralded intensive dedicated to his teaching, held as part of Yoga Journal’s Estes Park Conference. Along with some of Mr. Iyengar’s senior teachers, he provided those assembled with his latest teachings in asana and pranayama. He also made himself accessible to his students through a variety of talks and question and answer sessions.
The five DVD set, incorporating 25 hours of content, captures each session of this important event. It displays Mr. Iyengar’s passion, vitality, and mastery of yoga. Blending humor and wisdom, Mr. Iyengar’s presence was even more astounding given his 86 years of age. It was possibly his last visit to the United States, and one that can be thoroughly savored and continually revisited in this DVD format.
Mr. Iyengar’s teaching and presence is incorporated in every session of this DVD, including:
·Three asana classes (580 minutes)
·The pranayama classes (282 minutes)
·Q&A session with Mr. Iyengar (150 minutes)
·Mr. Iyengar’s Conference Keynote (62 minutes)
·Conversation with Mr. Iyengar (92 minutes)
·Master classes with master teachers Manouso Manos and Patricia Walden, which include Mr. Iyengar (257 minutes)
·Performance by The Yoga Troup (40 minutes)
Partial proceeds from the sale of this DVD set go towards Mr. Iyengar's Bellur Project, and toward the Iyengar Yoga National Association of the United States (IYNAUS).

This review is from: Yoga Journal Presents: Iyengar Intensive at Estes Park DVD Set (DVD)
Who am I to "review" the work of the "guruchi"?
So, let me make it clear that what I am about to say, is no way a review of "him" per se; it is a review of the contents of these particular DVDs. In other words, it is a review of the information that is intented to be given in this set of DVDs. Having made that clear: in my opinion, this is a very good set of CDs for "the yoga teacher" only.
Which means: although a very valuable set for a teacher, especially for those who are short on either money and/or time to go and get the information and the experience "live" - on the spot; I would not recommend this for a novice student. Maybe OK for a seasoned student, just maybe...
Very valuable tips for teachers, about teaching methodology, also. No matter what kind of yoga you are teaching, the info in these DVDs provide a valuable insight to everything that you don't know; or thought that you already knew!!...
Nevertheless, it is only "a glimpse" of the guruchi's wisdom and intelligence. As he himself also keeps repeating in the DVD, it would have been impossible for him to transfer all his knowledge in such a short amount of time, and setting.
