25th Anniversary Celebration
Iyengar Yoga Association of Greater New York
25 Years Lighting the Way
THANK YOU!!!!
What an evening! Thank you to everyone who came together to make our 25th Anniversary Celebration a success and brought us closer to realizing the dream of opening an Institute in Brooklyn. We couldn’t have done it without you, and we are deeply moved by the generosity, enthusiasm and passion for Iyengar Yoga that brought us all together on November 14th.
