This class is every Wednesday, 5:30 pm - 7:45 pm ET.

This class includes material for intermediate yoga students interested in deepening their experience of Iyengar yoga. It is the best class on the Weeks Well platform for trained yoga teachers. Over the course of a year, the class seasonally or monthly helps students refine classical standing, twisting, back-bending, forward-bending, abdominal, arm-balancing, and restorative poses. Salamba sirsasana (headstand) and salamba sarvangasana (shoulderstand) are central to the class, as students learn to hold these poses up to ten (10) minutes and add further variations to the pose such as padmasana (lotus pose) in sirsasana. A focus on core strength and the breath stays constant throughout the year.

BKS Iyengar’s system of teaching yoga, called Iyengar Yoga, consists of classes of postural or pose-based activities, sequenced in a tested, refined, and transformative way. Alignment is a guiding principle of Iyengar Yoga, but it is only the beginning of the journey. The core essence of Iyengar Yoga is the connection between the teacher and the student in which the teacher instructs correct actions that create alignment, modification to that alignment, and therefore, transformation through the body, mind, and breath.
