Beginners New Start
If you are completely new to yoga or unfamiliar with Iyengar yoga then this class is for you.
Poses (asanas) will be taught progressively to develop your strength, stamina, balance, and flexibility. This will give you a sound grounding for your future practice.
Continuing Beginners
These classes are for new students, including those new to Iyengar yoga and those who have completed the Beginners New Start course.
They are also for anyone who prefers to consolidate their yoga practice at this level.
A range of poses will be taught to help improve your strength and stability.
General Moderately Paced
This class is for new or continuing students who are older or have health problems which affect their yoga practice. It is also suitable for people who are recovering from illness or injury, or anyone who prefers to practise at their own pace.
Poses will be taught to help you improve posture and balance and gain strength and mobility.
General Class
General classes are for students who have practised Iyengar yoga for 2 years or more or on the advice of their teacher.
A wider range of asanas will be taught, including helping you to learn and develop confidence in the inverted poses Sirsasana (headstand) and Sarvangasana (shoulder stand).
Teachers will offer variations or alternatives as appropriate for each student.
Intermediate
These classes are for experienced students with 3 years or more Iyengar yoga experience and practise at home between classes is recommended.
More demanding and complex asanas will be introduced, and pranayama (control of the breath) will be taught.
However, these classes are not about being able to do difficult asanas and variations or alternatives will be offered by the teacher.

Rejuvenate, nurturing a profound connection to self, equipped with invaluable tools for resilience in the midst of life's demands.
