Frances teaching a yoga class

Beginners

Beginners is suitable for new students or those with less than two years experience.

Basic yoga postures (asanas) are taught to develop strength, stamina and flexibility, and are suitable for any age group.

If you have experience from another form of yoga and would like further information on Iyengar, please contact theyogaextension@gmail.com to discuss which would be the most suitable class for you.

Yoga Basics

If you are new to yoga or would like to refresh your skills or perhaps you are working with an injury, this class will be suitable for you. In these classes, we will help you understand your own body through simple postures and help you gain confidence in your yoga experience.

Beyond Basics

If you have been practising yoga and are ready to find out more, these classes will help you explore slightly more challenging poses. This class will help you build on your experience and guide you towards inversions.

General

General yoga class levels are for students who have been attending Iyengar yoga classes regularly for at least two years.

Classes are more intensive than at Beginners level and you will be introduced to a wider variety of asanas, for example, Sirsasana (head balance) and Sarvangasana (shoulder balance). In addition, general classes will introduce pranayama into some of the classes.

Intermediate

Intermediate classes are for students with at least four years experience in Iyengar yoga. You will be confident with maintaining Sirsasana (head balance) and Sarvangasana (shoulder balance) and will have established an independent / home practice.

Work will be more demanding than at General level and asanas are studied in more detail.

These IN STUDIO advanced classes are for students, teachers and trainees who have been practicing yoga for more than 5 years and are ready to use their basic knowledge to explore the connection between poses.

You will be confident with Sirsasana (head balance) and Sarvangasana (shoulder balance) and be curious about developing your Iyengar practice.

This will be a monthly class led by Senior Teachers in Glasgow.

We look forward to helping you progress your skills in Iyengar Yoga
