ABOUT

OSIRIS FELIZ, PROP MAKER
CERTIFIED IYENGAR YOGA TEACHER

This ‘about me’ is much deeper than just me. I am an artist, and carpentry is one of my practices. I am grateful for the opportunity to merge two of my arts and continue the legacy of BKS Iyengar.

My dedication to a this wonderful craft is inspired by my intention to make yoga more accessible. There are many layers to accessibility and my focus is three-fold; access to space, economic resources, and to the body. Similar to asana practice, we begin with the body.

More access to yoga increases the opportunities to raise awareness. A more intelligent body is a product of the practice of asana. Taking a prop to support practice is a pillar in Iyengar Yoga and I see it as a duty to continue this important work.

The healing effects of yoga in my life inspire me to develop my skill with Iyengar Yoga Therapeutics. Making the props, greatly expands my skill as a teacher. I remain eternally grateful for the alignment and honor this work with duty and love.

Access to the body from increased awareness is a recipe to raise consciousness. Asana practice teaches me that intention and action create movement.

I intend to be a conduit to inspire practice, and for practitioners of asana to continue developing their skill. To create action and movement, towards eventual expansion of access to space and economic resources.

Namaste.
