This class will be guest taught by Jen Meehan. Like many people, Jen came to yoga seeking relief from years of chronic back pain. She was drawn to Iyengar yoga’s attention to alignment and the use of props to make the poses accessible to all students, regardless of age, body type and physical condition. Jen has been teaching for 10 years, and in 2016, completed Elise Browning Miller’s Yoga for Scoliosis Teacher Training Program and is a Certified Yoga for Scoliosis Trainer. Jen teaches with a sensitivity gained from her own experience with chronic back pain and scoliosis. She currently studies with Jessica Becker at Clear Yoga and is preparing to take the Iyengar Level 1 teacher certification assessment in the fall of 2022.

This class is for those who are new to Iyengar Yoga. Sequences are designed to build strength, balance and range of motion. We will practice standing poses that include lateral, forward and twisting positions that bring strength and length to the spine. We will practice seated postures and supported inverted poses that facilitate healthy breathing and build immune support. Modifications are made for injuries or certain medical conditions.

Please have a mat, 3 blankets, 2 blocks, a belt or strap and a chair for this practice. Email yoga@tveekrem.net if you have any questions.
