Tada! Sana! Tadasana

New Insight! I remember my yoga teacher Mary Dunn saying Tadasana is a pose! That means Tadasana needs as much intention and attention as Sirasana.

Now I'm experimenting with starting my practice with Tadasana. It enables me to even out my consciousness watching the action as much as possible without too much effort.

Mary Dunn-My yoga teacher

With Mary Dunn's guidance the NYC area Institute was built. It was her vision. I can't imagine where Iyengar Yoga would be in the NYC area without her. I studied with her before and after it was built. She was a gigantic figure but at the same time so sweet and funny and kind. She would constantly break up the class with a joke or an observation. When she was demonstrating in the class with you as the model, you longed to hear her exclaim with excitement...Ahhh! When you got the action of the pose she was trying to teach.
