Each of my classes are built and designed around a certain type of asana (standing, backbends, forward bends, restorative and pranayama*). They are well-planned and sequenced so each student aquires depth and understanding of the asanas, as well as a true practice with their body, mind, and spirit. As Geeta Iyengar says, “Thus different groups of asana [postures] help develop firmness, fitness, pliability, strength, poise, balance, alertness, and mental peace.”
*Please note, the last week of classes during any given month are geared toward a quiet, restorative practice that most likely leads to pranayama (breathing technique).

Class Descriptions.
FUNDAMENTALS
This 4-session series is specially designed for beginners. You will learn the foundations of Iyengar yoga to help you build strength and flexibility and relieve stress. This series is intended for students who want an understanding of the foundational yoga poses. This is an active class, excellent for those who are totally new to yoga or new to Iyengar Yoga. Each 75-minute session will build upon the prior class in a progressive manner. You will get the most out of the classes if you attend them all. Upon completion of the series, you will be prepared to enter Level I classes. This is also an excellent opportunity to learn how to practice yoga at home. I will lead you through using common household items as props and help you develop a sequence you can practice daily. I will get to see you in your home setting and advise you on what to do. You will have time to ask questions. And, we will send out the recording after class so you can practice to it throughout the week.
