At present, it is necessary for you to contact the studio before class if planning to attend. Class will be both live and on zoom for those who wish to stay home. 


The ancient practice of yoga continues today, thanks mainly to the contributio​​n​s of B.K.S. Iyengar, and the teachings based on his self-found discoveries about the practice of yoga.

Iyengar yoga emphasizes the precision of physical alignment of the body in asanas (poses), creating a sense o​f ​st​re​ngth​, stamina, flexibility, and balance. This, com​bined with specific sequencing, and the amount of time spent in each pose is what differentiates his method from other practices.

One of B.K.S. Iyengar's innovations is the use of props: chairs, blocks, blankets, straps, bolsters, benches, walls. The purpose of the props is to assist the students in attaining ideal alignment, thus allowing them to experience the pose in a way that would not be achievable otherwise. Because of this, it is a method appropriat​e​ for anyone regardless of age, degree of health or other perceived limitations. In Iyengar yoga, weak part​s ​are strengthened and stiff parts are stretched, thus awakening and realigning the whole body. Benefits include increased vitality and the reduction of stress and anxiety.​
