Namaste Teacher’s Newsletter. Lynn Anjali Somerstein writes about her life in yoga.

Volume 16, Issue 9 – September 2012

 

I first heard about Yoga in 1960, when I was browsing in the local library one summer and saw a strange book with the picture of a beguiling man, Yogacharya Mr. B.K.S. Iyengar, on the cover.
