A little about Iyengar Yoga
Iyengar yoga is a systematic method of Hatha Yoga named after the late BKS Iyengar of Pune, India, one of the foremost yoga masters of the world. Popular in the East and West for many decades, this style of yoga has hundreds of thousands of practitioners all over the globe. The hallmark of the Iyengar approach is the ability to adapt the poses to the needs and challenges of the individual student, making it appropriate for all levels of fitness.
The Iyengar method works on the principle of “meditation in action.” The asanas(poses) bring the body and mind into balance by developing mobility, stability, strength and alignment. Classes are deeply energizing yet physically relaxing.
Classes at the Loft
Classes are held throughout the week, with morning, evening, and weekend options.
