Class Descriptions
   
 

 

Intro: Beginning level for those new to yoga or to the Iyengar method. Classes introduce beginning students to the fundamentals of posture and breath. Many students repeat this class. Intro 2 is for continuing students who have completed Intro 1.

Ageless: For anyone requiring a less strenuous class. Prerequisite: one INTRO course.

Level 1: For students who have taken at least one session of Intro. The basic standing poses will be refined and beginning inversions and forward and backward extensions will be introduced.

Level 2: For the continuing student who can do shoulderstand with confidence. Familiar poses will be refined. New poses, including inversions and backbends, will be introduced. Headstand and full arm balance are practiced at this level.

Level 3: For intermediate students with some personal practice. Must have a clear understanding of how to work with their specific needs and can move at a faster pace.

Special: This class is designed to be a supportive and safe environment for those who are stiffer, weaker, older, beginning to exercise after a period of being less active; suffering from chronic back pain, neck pain, or other limiting concerns. Students in this class can enjoy rediscovering how flexibility restores grace, joy, and dignity to their lives. The limited enrollment of the Special class allows physical limitations to be addressed in a personal and caring way. The class will include poses that relieve fatigue or weakness. As a precaution, please consider checking with your health professional before registering for this class.

Private Classes: Private classes are available for individuals and groups. See Nancy for details.
