WEEKLY CLASSES

Level 1:   For continuing beginning students. Refinement of basic poses, with an emphasis on standing poses, seated poses and beginning inversions. Many students take this level several times.

All Levels: All Levels classes are for practitioners with varied levels of experience, not for beginners.  Teachers will adapt asanas as needed for each individual. These classes are typically active and designed to inspire participants to challenge themselves.

Level 2:  Deeper and expanded study of the basic poses, with increased study of inversions and backward extensions.

OCCASIONAL SERIES

Beginners: In this series of 4 classes you will learn the foundations of yoga to help you build strength, flexibility and to relieve stress. This is an active class, excellent for those who are totally new to yoga or new to Iyengar yoga. This class is not for students with serious physical limitations. Each 75-minute session will build upon the prior class in a progressive manner.

Ageless Yoga is for students who need to practice slowly and with focus. The class works on foundations of Iyengar yoga, to build strength and improve balance and coordination, while providing a time to quiet oneself mentally and relieve stress.  It is taught as an 8-week series, with each 75-minute session building upon the prior session so students gain a gradual understanding of key elements to a basic yoga practice.
