Studio Yoga Teacher Graduation - 2007



Studio Yoga Teacher Graduation (3/24/07)

On Saturday, March 24, the students of Studio Yoga's Yogabhyasa Nisthah Class graduated. Each of the students had attended about four years of monthly 6-hour classes in preparation for becoming yoga teachers in the Iyengar tradition. They were guided by Guruji Theresa Rowland.

The entire graduating class is pictured in the first photo of the second row. From left to right: Laura Thieck, Laura Balogh, Roseanne McGraw, Nancy Lee, Meenakshi Sanghvi, Lou Asselin, Patricia Videgain, Amy Hamilton and Gaye Cataldo-McVeigh.

I took these photos without the use of a flash, so as not to disturb the puju and graduation ceremony. Hence, some of the photos are a bit blurry, and any movement (however slight) is blurred.
