Iyengar & Align Yoga

The Iyengar method emphasizes practicing one pose at a time with precise instruction, intentional sequencing and progressive levels. Props may be used to enhance learning or make poses accessible to all. Teachers are either certified in the Iyenegar method or studying and inspired by the Iyengar method. Expect to cultivate strength, mobility, awareness and concentration through this methodical, well-paced practice.

This class is open to students of all levels. With a focus on precision and alignment, you will move through one pose at a time. Modifications and options are given that allow each student to work at a level that is appropriate for them.

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.

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.

In order to have a chance to talk to the teacher about any back issues you may be having and to settle in this class, no late arrivals will be admitted to class. 

This class focuses on teaching poses that address back issues by increasing strength and flexibility for the whole body. Students will learn how to safely practice yoga for their individual back condition.
