In June 2024 Alan was invited to teach in China for the first time. He returned again for 2 weeks in November.
Over 2 weeks Alan taught in Guangzhou and Hangzhou and was exposed to the students and culture of China. His visit came on the 12th anniversary of BKS Iyengar’s first visit to China as part of the China-Indian summit. This landmark event was the beginning of the proliferation of yoga in China. BKS Iyengar’s visit was followed two years later by the second China-Indian summit in which Geeta Iyengar also visited. Since that time yoga has grown is spread throughout the nation through many schools and institutes.
As a result of Alan’s trip Yoga Mandir is making firm connections with Iyengar Yoga Shala China as we translate the Yoga Sadhana booklet and the Yoga Mandir Syllabus to support and evolve the depths and experiential understanding of teaching in China.
Program for 2025
In 2025 Alan will visit China 3 times as part of his ongoing work to develop a deeper understanding of the depth of Iyengar Yoga. This will involve 2 year programs for Lineage students.
It is a wonderful opportunity to work with a consistent group for an extended period.
