Anne at ASY Saturdays at Noon

Hi Everyone,

I just taught my last classes at YogaYoga. Starting the first saturday in June, I will be teaching a mixed level Iyengar Yoga class at noon at Austin School of Yoga. I'll still be running the Friday practices at Clear Spring at 3:30. I've learned a lot about teaching by teaching in the eclectic yoga environment of YogaYoga, but I have to say I'm quite excited about teaching in Iyengarland.

See everyone there in June.

There is Good Friday Practice CSS Friday 3:30

Backless Yoga Chairs for Sale

These chairs have a support brace on the back legs.
and no cross bar on the front. Most people find this style easier to use
because there is more room to get their arms and legs under the chair.

Tall chairs are better for supported sarvangasana (shoulder stand) and
supported halasana. people with long torsos and people who are tall will find them particularly helpful.

Regular chairs are $50.00. Tall chairs are $135.00 He tig-welds extensions onto the regular chairs. Shipping charges depend on the size of chairs purchased, the amount of chairs you purchase and how far away you are from Austin you are.

To order a chair or if you want more information, contact Jeff Schultz at
jschultz@jschultz.net

Here are pictures of the short chairs and a comparison shot with the tall chairs and standard chairs.
