Iyengar yoga is a form of Hatha yoga that emphasizes precision and physical alignment of the body. By paying close attention to anatomical details and the alignment of each asana (posture), Iyengar yoga creates balance in the body and mind. Postures are held for a relatively long period; this allows muscles to relax and lengthen, and encourages awareness in the pose. Through attention to proper alignment, Iyengar Yoga encourages weak parts to strengthen and stiff areas to release, thus awakening and realigning the whole body.

​Iyengar Yoga often makes use of props (such as chairs, belts, blocks, and blankets) as aids in performing asanas, allowing students to practice with greater ease and stability. Props help support the student to work in a range of motion that is safe and effective, minimizing the risk of injury or strain. They also make postures accessible for students regardless of physical condition, age, or experience. In addition to developing strength, balance and flexibility, Iyengar yoga develops emotional strength and a sense of well-being that helps students handle the challenges of life.

Enjoy the benefits of yang yoga as we slowly move through asanas that will build heat, fire up the core, improve balance, and develop strength throughout the body. We then transition to yin yoga by holding longer stretches, allowing the breath to deepen poses, and expanding our flexibility. Alignment details will be emphasized throughout the class and we will play with props including blocks, straps, blankets, sandbags, and the wall.

This class is great for students who are just beginning and want to gradually open their yoga bodies, mature yogis, pre-natal yogis, those healing from illness or injury or anyone wanting a gentler, more supported yoga experience. We use the chairs, walls and floor to support our postures. Taking the poses one at a time with lots of breath, everyone works at the level that works for their body.
