Pauline Schloesser, Ph.D., is a
practitioner and teacher of Iyengar
Method of
Yoga. She has broad life experiences
which she integrates with her yoga
teaching. Having been a competitive
swimmer, gymnast, runner, and
cyclist, Pauline loves to teach
athletes how to balance their
training with yoga asanas. As a
former college professor and author,
she knows well the stresses
of unbalanced intellectual
activity. She helps those who do
"head work" relax the brain, awaken
the intelligence of the body and
find the lightness of the spirit.
Pauline has also practiced yoga
through two pregnancies. She can
show pregnant women appropriate
modifications for poses during that
wonderful time. As a mother of
young children, she appreciates the
special challenges that parents meet
in finding time for a yoga
practice. Pauline brings dynamic
energy, passion, and a love of yoga
to all her students.

Iyengar yoga is the method of
classical yoga taught by B.K.S.
Iyengar and his family, in Pune
India. B.K.S. Iynengar is widely
credited with having brought Yoga to
America in the 1970’s. Iyengar yoga
is known for its emphasis on precise
alignment of joints, deliberate and
progressive sequencing of postures,
and the use of props to make yoga
accessible to individuals of all
abilities, in all life phases (e.g.
pregnancy and post-partum), and for
therapeutic and restorative work.
Pauline has studied with many senior
Iyengar teachers from across the
U.S. Currently she is studying with
Patricia Walden, of Cambridge, MA.,
and Constance Braden, in Houston,
TX. |
