Come practice yoga in the beautiful and peaceful setting of Menla Mountain Retreat with the intention to ready yourself for the teachings of the Buddha. Yoga asana and pranayama lead the yoga practitioner to a place of relaxed inner stillness and space. It is in this state that one can truly be receptive and have special insight. The particular method of Iyengar yoga helps us recognize we all have access to a calm power of awareness. BKS Iyengar’s teachings emphasize this innate power of awareness as both the means and the end of the eight limbs of yoga.
Carolyn Christie began her study of both Buddhism and yoga in 1987 while working for the Peace Corp in Thailand. In 1998 she was initiated into the Kalachakra Tantra by H.H. the XIV Dalai Lama in India and began studying with Khen Rinpoche Lobsang Tharchin in New York. She presently studies with Gyumed Khensur Rinpoche and Professor Robert Thurman. Carolyn is a faculty member at the Iyengar Yoga Institute of New York and is certified as Junior Intermediate 3. She regularly studies in India with the Iyengar family.
Marcela Clavijo began studying Buddhism with Lama Pema Wangdak in 1995 and with Sakya Trizin Rinpoche in 2000. She now also studies with Rinpoche's sister Jetsun Chimey Luding and with H.H. the XIV Dalai Lama. In 2003, she received her novice nun ordination and instruction from Chokye Trichen Rinpoche. Marcela is also a certified Iyengar instructor and is on the core faculty at the Iyengar Yoga Institute in New York City. She has studied yoga since 1985, taught Iyengar Yoga since 1996, and has travelled to study with the Iyengar family in India.
