classes we offer
induction Course
The 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. Our popular Induction courses will be back in September 2024! Cant wait? Get in touch and together we will find the best solution for you. These classes are also suitable to regular students as a means to supplement their weekly practice.
BEGINNERS & MIXED ABILITY Classes
Beginners classes are for new students or those with some basic knowledge of the Iyengar Yoga method. They include active, restorative and some pranayama practice. Following on from the Induction course, these classes are the ideal way to carry on developing your yoga practice. After about 1 year of regular attendance with us or equivalent experience, including some knowledge of inversions, we encourage you to join the Mixed ability classes.
kids and teens
We are keen to offer a weekly yoga class that is specifically aimed at children and teenagers, 7+. Children are encouraged to practice a full range of yoga poses in a dynamic and playful way. If you want your children to try, please get in touch. We also welcome suggestions on day/time suitable to you!
60+ and GENTLE CLASSES
These classes will cover the main classical Iyengar yoga asanas incorporating the use of props to overcome limitations. General flexibility and stamina will improve giving you more freedom and a sense of wellbeing. If you think yoga is not for you or you suffer from some minor ailments, come and experience Iyengar Yoga. The classes are also suitable to regular students as a means to supplement their weekly practice.
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.
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.
