Class Descriptions

See Class Schedule

Students of Iyengar Yoga begin with elementary postures, with an emphasis on standing asanas (postures).  Other postures are then added, including forward bends, backbends,  twists, inversions and restorative poses.  Each class ends with deep relaxation in 
Savasana, where students learn to rest in a profound way, completely releasing the body while drawing the mind towards the peace within.

​
Yogic philosophical precepts of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras, which detail moral and ethical growth and responsibility are the underlying foundation of our teachings.  Our Certified Iyengar Yoga teachers provide students of all ages and abilities an experience of yoga which is physically energizing, emotionally balancing, and mentally rewarding.  Our highly trained teachers use their deep-seated  knowledge of asana to instruct, observe, and individualize corrections for each student. Deep study and practice leads the student to an overall transformation of body, mind and spirit.
