Yoga Classes

Iyengar Yoga
Classes are based on the teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar, one of the most influential and respected yogis of our time. Iyengar Yoga emphasizes alignment of the body and builds strength and flexibility through precise and mindful work in the asana (posture.)

Nichole is a certified Iyengar teacher; Barbara and our other instructors are working toward certification.


Class Levels

Level I: beginners to yoga and learning about Iyengar Yoga with the emphasis on standing poses, seated and light twists, also working on shoulderstand.

Level II: students that are strong in standing poses and have a good foundation of yoga, we will be working on shoulderstand and also moving toward headstand (sirsasana).

Level II-III: strong in inversions moving into more complex poses and has a strong home practice.

Gentle - for those students that want to move a little slower or have a injury that they need help with.

Vinyasa - learn to move from one asana to another, not holding the asana for a long period of time. You will learn how to do so with correct alignment and we will also teach the art of jumping back and forth into/out of poses. If you have done Sura Namaskara (sun-salutations) this is just going further with that practice.


Restorative - This class was added by popular demand, In the Iyengar tradition we do restorative in the 4th week of sessions, now we have added it to our every week class schedule. You will learn how to relax not only your body but also your mind. Pranayama is the science of breath, to be able to focus on your own breathing while relaxing completely is truly wonderful.
