About this course:

A gentle and slow approach to a flowing Iyengar yoga course. We move into a position slowly, holding the pose for a minute, and then relax for a few breaths before stretching into another posture. Because all bodies have different weaknesses and strengths, Iyengar yoga may apply the use of props (wooden blocks, chairs, blankets, or belts) to help the body into the correct positions so that one can work in a range of motion that is both safe and effective. Mindful stretches are designed to make you feel good in your body, connect with your soul, and create space for more openness and well-being. Students are encouraged to turn on their videos so the instructor can correct their postures. Students must sign a waiver before participating.
