Class Descriptions
All classes, except levels I/II, II, and III, are appropriate for beginners. If uncertain about class placement, simply come to a class. After seeing you in the class and discussing your goals, the teacher can best advise you regarding class placement.
Level 1 through 3 classes
Level 1 through 3 classes progress according to a syllabus. It is suggested that you attend the full quarter in sequence to benefit fully. Students should begin with a level I or Supported Asana class unless they have previous Iyengar yoga experience
Level I
Introductory class for students new to yoga or new to the Iyengar method. Introduces standing postures, standing forward bends, twists, inversions and backbends.
Level I/II
This class is a transition from the Level I syllabus to the Level II syllabus. For continuing Level 1 students and Level 2 students. No beginners.
Level II
Expands upon the basics presented in level 1. Prerequisite 6-9 months level 1 or the equivalent Iyengar method experience.
Level III
Prerequisite 9 months level 2 or equivalent study in the Iyengar method. Must be proficient in sirsasana, sarvangasana and urdhva dhanurasana.
Low Back & Spine
is for anyone with back problems. Students will learn the sequence in the 2009 Spine Journal research study. The scientific study proved that twice-weekly, Iyengar yoga classes reduce back pain and the associated side effects of back pain.
Yoga Therapy
This class is for beginners or continuing students recovering from injury or illness. Each student practices an individualized sequence designed according to the student!s specific needs. Contact Sara at (412) 401-2162 or Christina at 412-719-2332 to discuss participation before coming to class.
Supported Asana
an asana class using props for support. Moderate work is required in the postures. The goal is better alignment and opening of the joints and learning how to maintain the receptive (sukha) aspect of the asanas while activating and developing strength and stability (sthira.) The emphasis here is in learning to bridge the gap between relaxation/ savasana and fully-active/classic asana work. Supported Asana is especially appropriate for the tighter, more muscular, body types that need more time in supported asanas to open up the body.
Observed Practice
For students new to yoga or preparing to enter a level one class. Each student will practice an individualized sequence designed by the teacher with the student’s specific needs and goals in mind. Contact Sara at the studio 412-363-9642 Ext. 1 before coming to class.
Stress Reduction
This course introduces relaxation and an understanding of the relaxation response through yogic breathing, postures and meditation. Appropriate for those dealing with chronic stress or for those interested in preventing or recovering from illness. Don!t wear clothing with tight elastic bands, and do bring an extra layer of clothing to keep warm.
