Class Descriptions

Introduction to Iyengar Yoga: This class is for absolute beginners who have never done yoga before and/or  for  those new to the Iyengar method. In this class you will become familiar to the Iyengar method with the fundamentals of yoga postures.  
Level I: For continuing students that have taken my Introductory class or have some yoga experience. We will continue to learn the foundational standing poses, forward bends, twists and simple backbends.  One will  learn  Salamba Sarvangasana (shoulder stand) and Halasana (plough pose) or a modification that is appropriate for your body. 

 Level  I/II: Deeper and expanded study of the foundation learned in Level  I .One will prepare for and learn Sirsasana(headstand) at the wall and refine the practice of Salamba Sarvangasana (shoulder stand) and variations. Intermediate backbends will be introduced with props. Students should be well practiced in the Level I postures, including Salamba Sarvangasana (shoulder stand) and Halasana (plough pose).

  Level  II: This class is for students who are developing a home practice from an understanding of the postures. Must be strong in standing poses and can do Sirsasana (headstand) at the wall, Salamba Sarvanagasana (shoulder stand) and Halasana(plow) with confidence. More advanced poses full arm balance, balancing in Sirsasana away from the wall are taught. Students will learn to push up in backbends without assistance.

  All Levels: This class is not for absolute beginners. It offers something to the Level I, Level I/II and Level II student where it may not be that we are doing Sirsasana in the middle of the room but if you can do it in the middle of the room it is welcomed.
