"A very special and honored moment for me as an Iyengar teacher was walking in to teach my first beginner series in a jam packed studio including one blind student. A teacher once said our verbal instructions should be so clear that we can lead the blind thoroughly into the asanas. My student completed all 5 classes in the series and made the course all the more successful for everyone."
~ Anastasia
