Reflecting on a five-day workshop with Firooza Ali Razvi
Cape Town
May 2025
We were privileged in Cape Town to have a 5 day workshop with Firooza Ali Razvi and her son Dinesh (doing demonstrations). We were in for a treat. Firooza combines her years of Philosophy study with her deep understanding of YogAsana. Firooza studied many years with the Iyengar family and she imparts her wisdom with ease and finesse. We were treated to going deeper in the Asana’s with the wisdom of the elements to deepen our understanding of the Asana. Earth element to ground through the legs, water element to bring a sense of movement and fluidity, Fire element to create heat and transformation in the body, wind element in the breath and through the breath as well as Ether element for the creation of space. This was just a small part of the vast knowledge that came through the practice. What a wonderful opportunity to study with her.
