B K S Iyengar Yoga Association of Southern California
About IYASC
Welcome
The B.K.S. Iyengar Yoga Association of Southern California (IYASC) is a non-profit educational organization that coordinates the activities of Iyengar Yoga in Southern California. It owns and operates the B.K.S. Iyengar Yoga Institute of Los Angeles (IYILA).
IYASC is an affiliate with the B.K.S. Iyengar Yoga National Association of the United States (IYNAUS), committed to the dissemination and promotion of the art, science and philosophy of Yoga according to the teachings of Yogacharya B.K.S. Iyengar. Our local association does much of the behind the scenes work necessary to provide our yoga community with quality instruction and support for a solid practice.
IYASC sponsors quarterly events (free to all members) aimed at sharing information about B.K.S. Iyengar and his work, highlighting topics in Indian culture, and bringing together the community. The association sponsors members' workshops, parties, movie nights, and other events. It has a lending library of books and videos on the teachings of Iyengar yoga. In addition, the association publishes a newsletter two times a year.
Organization
IYASC is composed of two chapters, headquartered in Los Angeles and San Diego. Each chapter is governed by a Board of Trustees. Both chapters' board meetings are open to all members. Members are encouraged to participate.
Los Angeles Chapter
Dear Los Angeles Association Members:
Thank you for your strong vote of confidence in the recent ballot. Those of us on the interim board look forward to the next six months of service to the community of Iyengar yoga in the greater Los Angeles area.
The ballots supported the continuance of the Interim Board for another six months 88 to 8. They also support the separation of the Association into two formal chapters, one to serve the Los Angeles area and the second the San Diego area; 92 yeahs to 4 no. Finally, in the absence of a formal nominee, the Board will appoint a representative, 88 yeahs to 8 no.
In addition, The Board is scheduling events that we hope you will join us for in the next few months. We will send out announcements soon.
