Class Descriptions & Registration

If you are interested in beginning a yoga practice, this is the place to start! The Beginner class is taught from scratch. There is no level of fitness, flexibility or experience required AT ALL. Age is also no barrier. The session is a progressive and systematic curriculum which sees you progress weekly and build on your understanding and skill, one class at a time. Even if you have a little experience or have practiced another style of yoga, you will benefit from attending the Beginner class.

For students who’ve been coming to Iyengar yoga classes.  The asanas are studied in more detail and basic pranayama is taught.

For those who wish to begin or sustain a yoga practice at a slower pace. Ideal for those who need extra time getting into and out of poses. The class focuses on working with proper alignment, balance, increasing mobility, stamina and strength. Props will be used to facilitate balance, promote flexibility, and increase confidence. Sequences of poses will foster a greater sense of mental clarity and well-being.

This class focuses on deep relaxation, rejuvenation, and the restoration of the mind and body. It's goal is to provide deep physical and mental relief by utilizing props, such as blankets, bolsters, chairs, and blocks, to assist the body in achieving optimal relaxation and release of tension.  The supported postures allow for longer stays which promotes deeper breathing and elicits the relaxation response. 

In the back care classes we will examine common postural problems that create pain and structural imbalances.

Yoga provides a holistic approach to back care that empowers students to be a key player in their back health. Through awareness students learn to create new postural habits and balance strength and flexibility. Even if you don’t have back pain you will benefit from this series of classes. 

The class is ideal for students who cannot stand for long periods of time or who cannot work on a floor mat. All poses are taught with a chair for balance or performed seated. Chairs, walls and other props are used during class to provide additional support.

Some examples are; hip pain, arthritis, stress, fatigue, IBS, chronic pain, pelvic floor weakness, weight loss, menopause.
