Sandra Pleasants
Force of Nature.
Sandra is an Intermediate Junior III Iyengar teacher. She is privileged to have studied at the Iyengar Institute several times as well as attending every Iyengar convention since 1987. Her primary teachers are Gabriella Giubilaro, Patricia Walden, and John Schumacher.
She served on the board of the IYASE as both treasurer and president, and has written several asana columns for the Association's magazine and Samachar.
Sandra discovered yoga in her early 50s. She is now in her mid-80s and after bilateral hip replacements in 2009, continues to practice and teach and explore life. Her life experience as mother of five and grandmother of eight gives her an accessibility that allows her students to feel simultaneously challenged and supported.
