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

Wright chairs are more comfortable than they appear at first glance, like the side chair, 1902, from the Heurtley house, Oak Park, Ill. The cushioned leather arm chair from the Evans house, Chicago, looks eminently comfortable. At, right leaded glass window from the Martin estate, Buffalo, N.Y., 1904.

Frank Lloyd Wright Designed Home, April 1980 Photographer: Robert Chase

Frank Lloyd Wright, when he created the design for this house in the late 30s, specified that it be built of cypress wood, a building material that is no longer available. Redwood, however, is equally effective in creating a natural look that contributes to the organic integration of house and surroundings that Wright desired, as is the Western red cedar used on the roof and sloping north wall of the structure. Landscaping will complete the blending of house and hill.
