    •     President's Letter

  •              August 27, 2011
  •             Dear Members of IYASCUS:
  •             The New Board of 2011 was seated with the old Board in
  •             February, and over the weekend of March 26th, we had our
  •             first official meeting.
  •              
  •             Our first act as a Board of Directors was to provide a grant to
  •             Edwin Bryant for purchase of a special recording device to
  •             enable him to put his insightful lectures on ihanuman.com.
  •             Edwin has been a professor and scholar of classical Indian
  •             philosophy for over a decade. While he has a formal position
  •             at Rutgers University , he actively serves the wider yoga community
  •             by conducting philosophy lectures for yoga students. Many of us
  •             have had the pleasure of receiving his great wisdom on the
  •             Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Bhagavata Purana.
  •             We are proud to have sponsored Edwin in his efforts to bring Yoga
  •             philosophy to our membership and beyond, through the coming
  •             digital downloads at ihanuman. 
  •             
  •             Our purpose is to serve you, the members, and to promote Iyengar
  •             Yoga in this South Central region of the United States . As I see it, our
  •             main goals as a Board of Directors are to maintain the instruments
  •             already in place to serve you; to build up our membership base; and
  •             to cultivate community. Through the hard work of previous Boards, we
  •             have an IYASCUS website (IYASCUS.org); a Facebook page, a newsletter,  
  •             and a scholarship fund.
  •            
  •             Our website offers information about membership and events in our region.
  •             People in the IYASCUS community can connect on FB and learn about  
  •             sequences from Pune. The newsletter has offered articles about yoga asana,
  •             philosophy, and events. We are still seeking a newsletter editor for this
  •             term, so if you know anyone who wants that position, have them contact me.
  •             Finally, the scholarships we offer exceed the cost of your membership dues.
  •             Our scholarships support our members to attend Iyengar yoga workshops in
  •             the region. By supporting regional workshops, we are supporting the member.
  •             studio owners and teachers that offer them. We hope you'll contact us to
  •             post your events or apply for a scholarship. And please, tell your friends
  •             practicing Iyengar yoga about the benefits of joining IYASCUS.
  •             
  •             Best regards,
  •             Pauline Schloesser
  •             Iyascus President
