IYA Annual Convention
It is now too late to book online, please contact jess@iyengaryoga.org.uk if you would like to attend the Convention.
with Jawahar Bangera June 17 - 19 2011 at Strathclyde University, Glasgow
50 Richmond Street, Glasgow, G1 1XP
In 2011 we are taking our annual convention North to Scotland for the first time in ten years.
For those of you who've never visited Glasgow, you are in for a pleasant surprise. It's a
beautiful city; to my mind reminiscent of San Francisco, with broad streets on a grid system
offering views of the distant hills at each intersection and full of modern and Victorian art
and architecture.
The university is ideal for our convention. It is set on a campus, but it is right in the city
centre, not far from where the airport bus drops you off, the station and all the charming shops
and bistros of George Street. Accommodation is round a leafy quadrangle; all rooms are ensuite
and arranged in four, five or six roomed flats.The restaurant is accustomed to providing
vegetarian and special diets and we have made sure your favourite food is on the menu! Yoga
will be in the spacious sports hall, a short walk from the accommodation blocks.
Jawahar Bangera is well known to many of you. He has been a regular visitor to UK since he first
taught at Crystal Palace in 1999 and has taught at our National Conventions in 2003 and 2006.
He is known for his precision and dedication and his ability to make everyone feel included.
Jawahar was originally introduced to yoga by his parents, who were pupils of Yogacharya BKS Iyengar.
He has been practicing yoga directly under Guruji's guidance since 1969 and has been teaching since
1980. In 1987, '90, '92 and '93 Jawahar accompanied Guruji to conventions in the US, UK & Europe
and first taught in UK at Crystal Palace in 1999. Since that time, he has been regularly invited to
the UK, US, Europe, Mexico and UAE to conduct workshops for both teachers and students. Jawahar teaches
classes in Mumbai where he is a director of the Iyengar Institute and is also a trustee of the Light
on Yoga Research Trust (LOY). His visit will be an opportunity for all of us to experience Guruji's
teachings directly from one of Guruji's most senior teachers.
Design Competition
The competition was won by Jenny Reynish. Congratulations to her on a lovely design which you will be able to see on the Convention t-shirts and on the backdrop to the stage.
Have you ever thought about running a market stall at our annual yoga convention?
We'd like to encourage contributions from ethical crafts, yoga related equipment, and fair trades
people in order to create a thriving market place for our Glasgow convention in June 2011.
If you think you have items that would be of interest to yoga enthusiasts then why not consider
running a stall!!
Suitable stalls: yoga equipment, props, books, arts and crafts etc, as well as clothing - men's yoga
clothing in particularly short supply!
If you would like to propose running a stall - then get in touch with Patsy patsyyoga@aol.com
