A lovely way to begin your week with this Iyengar class for all levels. Modifications of poses and alternate poses offered for those who will need them.

Pranayama I begins our practice of breathing techniques to those interested in working with the breath and provides an opportunity to move beyond the elementary levels incorporated into regular asana classes. All pranayama techniques in Level I will be done in a supported supine position. Introduction to beginning Ujjayi and Viloma breaths in a lying down position will be covered. Development of a pranayama daily home practice is supported for this and all levels.
Pre-requisite: One year study and practice of asana in the Iyengar method or a comparable method.

Students who would like to progress in the poses at a slower pace and/or would like to learn how to safely practice the yoga postures to address their back challenges. Various props will be utilized for additional support in the poses. This is a good class for those trying to conceive, those who are currently pregnant, and post-partum, as well as those who are less flexible, or recovering from an injury or illness.
