classes we offer

 

induction Course

The 6-week Induction course is an ideal introduction to the Iyengar Yoga method. It is especially designed for beginners in Yoga and those with little experience of Iyengar Yoga. It could also be an ideal way to come back to yoga after a long break. Our popular Induction courses are due back in January 2025. Can’t wait? Get in touch and together we will figure something out! Please note that these classes are also suitable to regular students as a means to supplement their weekly practice.

BEGINNERS Classes

Beginners classes are for new students or those with some basic knowledge of the Iyengar Yoga method. They are a natural progression after completion of our Induction Courses. They include active, restorative and some pranayama practice, and are the ideal way to carry on developing your yoga practice. Please note that these classes are also suitable to regular students as a means to supplement their weekly practice.

MIXED ABILITY Classes

After about 1 year of regular attendance with us or equivalent experience, we encourage you to join the Mixed ability classes. They are longer (1.5 hour-long), and assume an ability to sustain a more intense and challenging practice. They imply a certain confidence and ability to practice inversions.

Timetable

 

RESTORATIVE practice

After about 6 months of regular attendance to Beginners classes, a restorative practice is gradually incorporated within weekly classes. It assumes some knowledge of the use of props as well as a basic understanding of the ethics behind asana practice within the Iyengar tradition. A restorative class is always part of our regular Saturday monthly workshops.

Timetable

 

one-to-one/ small group classes

If you cannot find a suitable class in the current timetable, it is possible to book private classes for yourself alone, or in a small group with family and friends. Get in touch to discuss options.
