Our classes are designed to take you through a learning process that encompasses the full scope of the postures and breathing practices. True progress in this method requires prolonged study at each level.
Iyengar Yoga is for students of every age and fitness level. Students may attend classes at the level appropriate to their experience without registering in advance.
In addition to classes at four distinct levels, the Institutes weekly schedule includes other special classes, workshops, and events. The schedule indicates the primary teacher for each class. When possible, substitutes are posted online.
