SEMI PRIVATE CLASSES

INTRODUCTORY /LEVEL 1

For beginner students with no experience in yoga. The basic postures in Iyengar yoga provide students with the fundamentals to enable them to go further in their yoga. Students will also learn how to manage their limitations and be given instruction in using props where needed, to help facilitate the pose. It is designed for anyone regardless of age or condition.

LEVEL 2

Students with a minimum of 2 years experience in Iyengar hatha yoga. By this time students would have some self-reliance in sequences of postures (asana) and breathing (pranayama). They are able to follow the teacher in a led practice and work to their own limits. Building their own home practice is encouraged.

LEVEL 3/EXPERIENCED

Students have already gained a detailed understanding in postures (asana) and breathing techniques (pranayama)and have a consistent home practice.

LED PRACTICES

Led practices are designed for students  to work to their own limitations, encouraging a more independent and responsible approach to your yoga practice. Students follow a series of postures related to the theme of the class, (hips / backbends/inversions/ pranayama (breathing)) and there is variety within the sequences.
As you are practicing beside the teacher you receive advice on your postures specific to you. Some technical information is given.

TEENAGERS

For 12 year olds and up
Yoga postures are practiced to build strength and flexibility as well as confidence.
“Yoga asanas (postures) help growing children develop physically, emotionally and psychologically. Yoga is a necessary complement to formal education. By practising this science and art children can grow into healthy and well balanced men and women with strong bodies, clear minds and pure hearts”. (Yoga for Children – S + H Chanchani).

The Government of India is now considering making yoga compulsory in schools. (SMH 9/12/10)
