This week marks the week of BKS Iyengar's 90th birthday. In honor of this auspicious event, iHanuman humbly offers you asanas as taught in the Iyengar method by Senior Iyengar Yoga Teacher John Schumacher. John is among the students traveled to India this week to celebrate with Mr. Iyengar.
iHanuman will post asanas every day until the winter solstice in honor of this event. Salamba Sirsasana I or supported head balance is an extremely beneficial and powerful pose when practiced properly. It is considered the King of all asanas. The benefits include improved circulation, improved balance and poise, increased vitality and anenhanced immune system.
Those who suffer from high or low blood pressure and women who may be pregnant should consult a physician before attempting this pose. Please practice the preparatory poses (See John Schumacher in our Asanas Playlist) with an experienced instructor before attempting this pose on your own.

Thank you for helping to build the bridge with iHanuman. Namaste.
