The
10th (wow!) Annual Eastern Iowa Yoga Retreat
at Prairiewoods in Hiawatha, Iowa
With Mary Obendorfer, Senior Certified Iyengar Teacher
 Mary
Obendorfer, co-director of the B.K.S. Iyengar Centers of San
Diego, is a longtime student of B.K.S. Iyengar, Geeta Iyengar
and Praschant Iyengar with whom she studies on a yearly basis
in Pune, India. Classes will be taught in the classical method
as taught by the Iyengars.
This
Yoga Intensive weekend is open to Iyengar yoga students who
have had at least eight weeks of Iyengar yoga instruction.
It is an opportunity to deepen one’s knowledge and understanding
of yoga with a dedicated and highly trained teacher.
Prairiewoods, a spiritual and ecology center run by Franciscan
Sisters is located on 70 acres of natural beauty just north
of Cedar Rapids, Iowa. A serene and spacious facility, Prairiewoods
offers accommodations for overnight guests, ample space for
quiet reflection, trails for walking and contemplation, and
simple vegetarian meals. The spiritual atmosphere of Prairiewoods
provides an ideal environment for the practice of yoga.
