Advanced Studies Program 2021 Dear community, We are happy to announce that The Advanced Studies Program will begin in January 2021 with classes starting Jan 4th !... Our first months of the program will be offered via Zoom and our classes have been adjusted for this new venue. We hope to hold live classes sometime this year in the studio, but will also continue to offer an online option. We welcome and invite students from out of the Bay Area at this time and will continue with online classes through 2022 at least. So if you have ever wondered about taking a special yoga class, please consider. Since 1988, The Yoga Room has helped people deepen their practice with its Advanced Studies Program. The Yoga Room’s Advanced Studies Program holds classes from Jan-Dec (not, July & Aug) and is a flexible, modular program that can be adapted to suit your individual needs and interests. The program features in-depth classes on the practice and theory of the asanas, as well as courses in anatomy, kinesiology, pranayama, and yoga philosophy. To be eligible for the first year, the Personal Practice Year, students should have had one year of yoga experience. After the second year, the Teacher Training Year, students will have earned a 500-hour certificate. For information or to register please contact Gay White at [email protected]. She will be happy to discuss the requirements and advantages of the program in relation to your needs. YogaRoomBerkeley.com

Asanas for Emotional Stability with Michael Lucey ~ Saturday, 2-4 pm December 5th... $50 This Zoom class will be a benefit for The Yoga Room. ***We will practice together the sequence BKS Iyengar designed for Emotional Stability and explore the principles behind it. Michael Lucey is a certified Iyengar yoga teacher at the Senior Intermediate 1 level. Michael stumbled into an Iyengar yoga class in England in 1982, while he was a student at Oxford University. From his very first class he has been fascinated by the many ways yoga can transform your relation to your body, mind, and breath. He has also made 11 trips to India to study directly with the Iyengar family at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute, most recently in December 2018. Michael is also a professor of Comparative Literature and French at the University of California, Berkeley, and served as President of the Iyengar Yoga National Association of the United States from 2014-2017.
