Class Descriptions

Level 1 (Intro)
This rigorous introductory class for beginners and those new to Iyengar yoga teaches students how to strengthen and lengthen every muscle of the body without force, while establishing a foundation for the continuing classes. Salamba Sarvangasana (shoulderstand) is introduced.

Level 1-2
In this continuing class, learn a variety of standing poses, forward bends, twists, beginning backbends, variations of Salamba Sarvangasana, and preparatory Pranayama. Some students choose to stay at this level for years, continuing to be challenged and strengthened by these foundational poses.

This class for continuing students covers more complex poses including more variations in Salamba Sarvangasana. Sirsasana (head balance) is introduced. Permission of instructor required.

Students at this level are expected to be practicing regularly at home, including inversions. We practice more complex poses, more inversions, longer holdings, backbends, and more Pranayama. Permission of instructor required.
