The spring semester is always a time of renewal. Santa Fe transitions from snow and cold to flowers poking up through the ground. The trees move from barren branches to buds and finally leaves and we daydream of the coming summer.

During this time of growth, the continuing education office experiences its busiest season. It seems everyone, like the change of seasons, wants to renew an old skill, grow in a new direction or even branch out into new territory. So join us this season; learn children’s book illustration with Julia Cairns; sharpen your business acumen in Coaching for Business Owners or Enhancing Leadership Skills with Pamela Fischer; or re-live the Civil War on a field trip to Pecos National Monument with Peter Sinclaire. As the region begins to warm up, we look forward to seeing you at SFCC!

IYENGAR YOGA Developed by yoga master B.K.S. Iyengar more than 60 years ago, Iyengar yoga promotes strength, flexibility, endurance and balance through coordinated breathing and poses that require precise body alignment.

Equipment like blankets, straps and blocks help the less flexible and also distinguishes Iyengar from other types of yoga. Although Iyengar incorporates the traditional postures, or asanas, that make up the broader category of hatha yoga, the props revolutionized yoga by enabling everyone – even the elderly, sick, and disabled, to practice. Because of its slow pace, attention to detail, and use of props, Iyengar yoga can be especially good if you’re recovering from an injury.
