This is a class for those with a few months Iyengar Yoga experience or more. We work carefully through the syllabus of poses, preparing for more intermediate level poses, according to the individual ability of the students.
These sessions are for students with at least 2 years Iyengar Yoga experience. Inversions are regularly practised with individual guidance and we work towards the more advanced level poses and themes including Pranayama (monthly).
Level 3 classes are available online weekly on Tuesday evenings and monthly in person / hybrid on Saturdays from 11am to 1pm.
These classes are for experienced yoga students with at least 4 years regular practice, familiarity with the Iyengar method, confident use of props and regular practice of Sirsasana and Sarvangasana. Intermediate syllabus poses and pranayamas are covered.
Guided Practice is a subscription based class for experience students only who like to follow a practice without interaction or individual instruction.
The weekly Restorative/Pranayama sessions are for regular students. Because of the use of props, at least 6 months experience of Iyengar Yoga is required before joining these classes.
