Pledge to make a difference, together.
The mission of Iyengar Yoga Center Coachella Valley (IYCCV) is to make available the teachings of Iyengar Yoga for the physical, mental, and spiritual health of the people in the Coachella Valley and beyond.
“When I can leave the challenges and the problems behind for 60 -75 minutes, focusing solely on myself and my physical body, it is a respite from those thoughts and feelings that can keep me from feeling safe and good about myself. The movements of yoga require concentration. And that ultimately helps to shift my focus from those parts that aren’t perfect, that perhaps don’t work quite like they used to, and instead, raises my awareness of those parts of me that are capable and sufficient. My quality of life is a direct reflection of how I view my physicality. When I feel ‘broken’ my self-esteem suffers. My quality of life appears ‘less than’. Iyengar Yoga reminds me of what works, what feels powerful. And I can see the shift of energy and capability as time goes on.”
The goal of IYCCV is to bring health to the body and peace of mind for everyone via yoga, specially in underserved communities.
