BIO FOR IDA UNGER, M.ED. CERTIFIED IYENGAR YOGA INSTRUCTOR
Ida Unger is an Iyengar yoga instructor with over twenty years
experience in guiding students to understand and practice the art of yoga.
She opened her own studio the Yoga Garden in 1987, offering just two classes
a week. The "Garden" was a vibrant studio with 22 classes per week and eight
teachers when it was made to close at the end of 2006, marking 18 years to
the day in business. Ida Unger began studying yoga in 1978 and received her
Iyengar Teaching Certificate in 1989.
Iyengar Yoga, a
school of hatha yoga practice as researched and taught by B.K.S. Iyengar, is
extremely dynamic and transformational. The poses are taught with body
alignment as a focus, so that muscles reform and bones realign, offering
freedom of movement and strength, as well as the possibility of deep
relaxation and rejuvenated health. Ida, as well as the other teachers at
Yoga Garden, are involved in continuing education, as part of the worldwide
efforts of B.K.S. Iyengar's dedication to yoga as a healing art, and his
inspiration to continue our own growth and expand our knowledge.
Ida has worked
with pre and post-natal students, seniors, children and teens, as well as
people who come to yoga because of back issues. Her ability to meet the
needs of students with special needs has been a foundation of her career.
