Gentle - The gentle yoga class is for students who would like to work with foundational yoga poses in a very safe, slower-paced, and methodical way. Sequences are designed to improve general mobility, joint flexibility, posture, and balance. There is strong emphasis on poses to open the chest, nourish and support the nervous system, and generate a sense of overall well-being. Props such as blankets, bolsters, and chairs are used to give students the support they need. This class provides a supportive environment for students working with health- or age-related challenges. This is a great class for new or returning students who would like an alternative to our Level 1A basic class. (60 minutes)

Level 1A - This class is for students new to Iyengar Yoga and continuing Iyengar Yoga students. Focus is on fundamental postures and concepts of alignment, breathing and relaxation. A wide range of postures are practiced: standing, seated, twists, forward bending and back bending, and restorative. Students will learn to use props and modify their postures as needed. Sarvangasana (shoulder stand) is introduced but alternatives to inversions are given. Recommended for new students. (60 minutes)

Level 1B - This class is for continuing and intermediate students. It is the next step up from our Level 1A class. In this class, students build their strength and stamina, and expand their understanding of all the categories of yoga postures. Halasana (plow pose) and Sarvangasana and its variations are regularly practiced. A minimum of 6 months of Iyengar Yoga practice is recommended. (75 minutes)

All Levels - This is a mixed-level class that accommodates continuing students, intermediate, and advanced students. A firm foundation in all the postures at Levels 1A and 1B is recommended. All-Levels classes are taught in a progressive way to provide a challenge for those with experience, while offering modifications as needed. Sirsasana (head stand) and Sarvangasana are regularly practiced, and hand stand and other inversions are introduced. Not recommended for students new to Iyengar Yoga. (90 minutes)

Level 2 - This class is for intermediate and advanced students. Students work with foundational postures in greater depth and explore more advanced postures. Students should be able to hold Sirsasana and Sarvangasana for 5 minutes, and all inversions, arms balances and Urdhva Dhanurasana (upward bow pose)  are regularly practiced. At this level, students have developed an understanding of how to work with their own body’s needs and know alternatives to poses that are not appropriate for them. Recommended for students who have at least 2 years consistent study of Iyengar Yoga. (90 minutes)

Restorative - An all-levels restorative class that is intended to soothe the nervous system and relieve tension through supported postures and breath awareness. (75 minutes)

Yoga for Trauma and Recovery - This Level 1 online class identifies and applies the healing benefits of Iyengar Yoga for those surviving trauma. Given the sensitive nature of the subject, all participants are expected to maintain the highest levels of courtesy and consideration. All students are welcome and do not need to identify as trauma survivors to attend. This class is not recorded. (60 minutes)
