Nancy Kardon

Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher

Why Iyengar Yoga?

The rigor of the Iyenger Certification System is unmatched in the field of yoga.

Iyengar Yoga is a profound transformative method of learning yoga. Aligning mind, body and breath, Iyengar yoga quiets the senses, enabling connection to Self and transforming life’s journey. Iyengar yoga develops coordination, flexibility, balance, strength and stamina. In time, this asana (posture) practice becomes meditation in action.

As a certified Iyengar Yoga teacher with over 20 years of experience, Nancy Kardon knows how to guide students of all ages and abilities. Nancy's ability to clearly demonstrate postures, sharp observation and effective teaching skills help students mature and progress.

Welcome Iyengar yoga is whole self fitness for every one, meditation in action :.Small classes individual attention where you learn how to find balance, agility, strength, endurance in Scarsdale , New York and Greenwich connecticut.

I began studying yoga in 1994 with Mary Dunn at the 3rd floor studio of the Greenwich Arts Center located at 299 Greenwich Avenue. I have been teaching there for the past 8 years since Mary passed away.

Come experience this form of Yoga that teaches you sequentially step by step how to do the poses, developing concentration/focus, strength, agility,and balance. It has the power to transform your life if you take it on as a practice. I was Certified as an Iyengar Yoga Teacher in 2000 and continue to study with internationally acclaimed Iyengar Yoga teachers here in the USA and in Pune, India.

To inspire you, here is a 1996 Interview with Mary Dunn about how the practice of Yoga has deepened her relationship with her mother, Mary Palmer who brought B.K.S. Iyengar to the US in 1973 to teach. Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute (RIMYI), Iyengar Yoga National Association of U.S. -, Iyengar Yoga Institute of New York

More inspiration from Manouso Manos:

“Most of us think we can write the script of who our yoga teacher is but we can’t. Of course, you have to find a yoga teacher who speaks directly to your understanding. But that doesn’t mean that the yoga teacher should not be pushing your buttons once in a while, saying, ‘Hey, there’s a little more to this.’ You can’t structure the box of what your yoga practice is. In fact, yoga is, by definition, transformative. The joke that I tell, and I’m sure I’m not the first one to say this, is that you cannot change and stay the same at the same time.

And this is an example of what most of us want to do in a yoga class. Okay, I want to control this. I want to have this, I want to understand this and you’re not going to push my button. And the answer is, the yoga teacher should always push you into at least a minor state of discomfort. This will encourage you to move into a state where you’re willing to step out of that hard box that most of us are in, out of that control freak and that ego that tries to box us in.”

I receive one of these every day. I like the Yama Niyama aspect of the Buddhist teachings, how they teach us how to live in the world with others and to work on our personal disciplines to be able to do that.

"Whenever we find fault with others, whether through anger, contemptuousness, self-righteousness, or gossip, it is often based in fear. We may not be aware of our fears, but when we look deeply, we may discover the fear of rejection, loss of control, of unworthiness, or the fear of disconnection."

—Ezra Bayda, "Gossip"

Why Iyengar Yoga? Iyengar Yoga is a profound , intelligent,transformative practice of yoga.

Nancy Kardon is a certified Iyengar Yoga teacher ,experienced and teaching since 1995 Certified Iyengar teachers know how to guide students of all ages and abilities. Iyengar yoga develops strength, stamina, coordination, flexibility, and balance. With physical alignment as a starting point, students learn to connect mind to body spreading intelligence and encouraging self-awareness. In time with practice, experience of the postures becomes meditation in action.

Ability to clearly demonstrate the postures, sharp observation and effective teaching skills as well as skillful sequencing of the postures help students mature and progress. Props (blankets, blocks,belts, walls, wall ropes) are often used to help students learn regardless of their physical condition or level of experience.
