Iyengar Yoga Standing Poses

Beginner Standing, twists, and forward extensions

Our class today is for beginners and more advanced students wanting to come back to basics.

Juan Carlos covers standing poses, twists, and forward extension in this well-rounded practice. A great class to start your New Year off with focus and intention.

The best way to deepen your practice and scope of understanding is to practice continuously.

The best way to do that is to start your own home self-practice.

To study and teach yoga is to learn about yourself. When we know the abilities of our body and mind, as well as our challenges, our learning can be a self-discovery process that is both fascinating and a tool for a lifetime of inquiry.
