Welcome to IYAMW

We fulfill the educational goals of BKS Iyengar in the Midwest by organizing annual retreats, awarding scholarships, and funding community grants to allow all, regardless of means or situation, to study Iyengar Yoga.

Dawn’s Story

This is a short documentary that shares the inspiring story of Dawn Ceballos, an indigenous Mexican counselor living in SW Detroit. It showcases how she has found strength and resilience through the practice of Iyengar yoga. The film is in partnership with Iyengar Yoga Detroit Collective (IYDC), a community-run, BIPOC-centered cooperative, promoting radical inclusivity and well-being, hoping to share more information about healing justice goals through yoga.
