AASY Welcomes Senior Iyengar Teacher James Murphy, July 24-26th
James is the current director of the Iyengar Yoga Institute of New York which he helped found. He teaches his regular classes there as well as runs the Teacher Training Program and a class for students living with HIV.
James is keenly interested in people and cultures around the world, and a popular visiting teacher in many European and Asian countries. His history as a professional dancer with the Nikolais Dance Theater and his close study with Mary Dunn as well as extended trips to the Iyengar Institute has given him a mature knowledge of how to link together important elements of the postures and invaluable experience in observing the Iyengar Method at it’s source. James’ keen perception and skills of observation combine with a natural talent for teaching to make his classes rich and exhilarating.
