Course intent

Iyengar Yoga is a precise and careful style of yoga, paying strong attention to correct postural alignment

and body awareness, so it’s an excellent starting point for those new to Yoga practice

What will I learn?

The system of teaching Iyengar Yoga is methodical, structured and progressive, emphasising detailed correctness and safety. You will develop:

· Your learning of yoga postures (asanas) in standing, seated and lying positions, and how they work in sequence.

· Your learning of breathing exercises (pranayama) and relaxation techniques.

You will be using equipment, such as blocks, or bolsters, to assist you to achieve the posture correctly, at your own pace and to suit your body.

This course is designed for learners who have been practicing yoga for 2 years +. This is not suitable for
