THE FOCUS

Iyengar & Align Yoga

Explore the precision and alignment of one pose at a time in this classical methodology that employs props to make all poses accessible. New England’s largest certified Iyengar faculty offers a comprehensive curriculum of drop-in classes, registration series, multiple levels of instruction, ropes, back care, workshops, assessment preparation, mentorship and more.

Under the directorship of America’s most senior Iyengar teacher Patricia Walden and Boston’s beloved Nadja Refaie, the Iyengar school is named after B.K.S Iyengar (1918–2014), the 'Michelangelo of yoga' and Time Magazine's 100 most influential people.

INTELLIGENT INQUIRY

Level I: Perfect for beginners and those wanting to refresh their understanding of fundamental poses. Students will learn basic standing, seated, twisted, back bending and beginner inverted poses, including shoulder stand, at a modest pace, learning how to use the props as needed.
Level I/II: A transitional class for those with regular Level 1 experience. Students should be comfortable with setting up and getting into shoulder stand.
Iyengar II/III is for seasoned students comfortable with inversions. Students develop strength and refinement in all asanas including inversions, back-bends, and arm balances. Regular yoga practice is assumed.
Using the resistance and gravity-defying assistance of wall ropes lengthens and deepens your asana practice. Yoga Kurunta (‘yoga puppet’) is open to all levels, but not for those brand new to any yoga.

MASTERCLASS

Patricia Walden

The Iyengar lineage has a long tradition of Senior Faculty teaching the same group of committed students on a weekly basis in a truly progressive and cumulative sequence of instruction. Committing to a registration series allows students to experience the depth that comes from learning under a particular teacher year round and the joys of a shared language, experience, and consistent class environment. Register for Patricia Walden’s series in both Harvard Square, Brookline or livestream.
