Class Descriptions

Yoga Classes are held as multiple-week, progressive courses or “sessions”, or you can participate on a drop-in basis. Classes and sessions provide a dynamic and challenging atmosphere in which to cultivate the highest functioning of body and mind. Expect an emphasis on precise alignment, carefully sequenced postures to maximize benefits and an exploration of yoga philosophy to reveal the full depth of transformation Iyengar Yoga has to offer.

Level I: For all students who want to learn the basics of Iyengar Yoga—alignment, sequencing, prop usage, basic philosophical principles that guide practice. These classes are ideal for newcomers to the practice with no major health challenges, or students from other yoga methods who want to improve their foundational skills. Classes are focused on empowering students with the skills and knowledge to develop their own personal (or “home”) yoga practice, as an adjunct to attending classes.

Level II: For students with some experience (approximately 6 months) of Iyengar Yoga. Familiarity with standing postures, basic alignment, and how to set-up headstand and shoulderstand is required, as is a willingness to begin practicing inversions and backbends. A minimum 6 months regular class attendance and some regularity in home practice is recommended as a pre-requisite to this class as we begin to explore pranayama practices in greater detail.

Level III: For continuing students of the Iyengar method (suggested 2 years continuous Iyengar yoga practice as a pre-requisite). Deeper and subtler work in all categories of asana will be involved as will more subtle pranayama practices requiring a stable body and steady mind. Inversions are regularly held for at least 5 minutes at this level.

Gentle/Level I: With a focus on the fundamentals of Iyengar Yoga, these classes are ideal for newcomers to the practice, students with particular needs or limitations, or students from other methods who want to ensure their practice foundations are safe and sound.

Philosophy and Pranayama: This class will include exploration and discussion of yogic texts and concepts as a compliment to the contemplative work of pranayama (meditative breathing practices). This is an ideal class for any experienced student (someone with at least 6 months of study with a Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher and a steady personal yoga practice at least 3-4 times per week) who seeks self-transformation.

Private Lessons: A one-on-one session with an Iyengar Yoga instructor is a premium customized experience. As a result, you are empowered to specifically address your goals, physical strengths, limitations, and needs specific to your level of practice. For students who are new to yoga, may be experiencing injuries or some other physical concern, or need a customized day and time for class, private lessons are the best way to set a solid foundation for your yoga practice. For experienced yoga students, private lessons can add a depth and refinement to your yoga practice to dramatically enhance its rewards and opportunities.
