YOGA-workshop
Viviane & Isabel
Zoom & Presentieel
juli + augustus
Born in 1925, Noëlle Perez, one of the first Westerners that studied with BKS IYENGAR, left us on 8 August 2019 [link to only french version found] to join her husband and prince, Jose Miguel.
From her early years, Noëlle was "looking for God", and despite her deep studies in her own religion, what she found there didn't satisfy her. She went on to explore other mysticisms, and in this way, after having studied the Oriental Churches, Catholic and Orthodox as well, she explored different branches of Protestantism… and from there she moved on to Buddhism… and then to Yoga.
But before 1959, yoga schools in Europe were few, and what she found there was what could be called "the gymnastics of yoga", or a certain kind of esoterism without any deep roots in reality. Link to the only french version found. Then, in 1959, she met BKS IYENGAR. Bibliography FR/EN + french text.

Light on yoga
« Moge het licht van de yoga een licht in u zijn»
In een artikel in het blad « Les Chemins du yoga » (De yogapaden) uitgegeven in juni 1994, heeft Viviane Gutlerner het over Sri BKS Iyengar die ze talrijke keren ontmoet heeft tijdens haar studieverblijven in India (Puna). Ze haalt onder andere de verankering van het bewustzijn in de fysieke activiteit aan, de toegang tot spiritualiteit via het lichaam, de zuivering van de denkende geest en de intelligentie van het lichaam.
