Iyengar in Ann Arbor: An American Yoga Story - New Documentary Short
"Today, yoga is practiced practically everywhere in America, with a wide range of approaches, philosophies, studios, and styles. But in the early 1970s, this endeavor, originally from India, was mostly unknown in our country. B.K.S. Iyengar's visit to Ann Arbor from Pune, India in 1973 changed all that. Sponsored by the Ann Arbor Y and held at the Power Center, the series of public classes were the first the now-famous yoga master taught in North America. People came from across the U.S. for an opportunity to learn from him. The success of his visit sparked a special relationship between Iyengar and Ann Arbor which continued throughout his life." - Filmmakers Donald Harrison & Jeanne Hodesh

"Open planning" went into the home of Dr. and Mrs. James V. Neel at 2235 Belmont Rd. Mrs. Neel, a graduate architect, designed the structure with cost and convenience factors in mind. The result may be seen from these photographs. A view from the living area shows the entry (with home-made screen of basswood dowelling), kitchen, the dining area, and corridor to the bedrooms beyond. Little James, jr., stands in the doorway to the kitchen. The exterior picture [this photo] shows the expanse of window area around the terrace and the long horizontal lines.
