The strength of the systematic method of Iyengar is its focus on practice.
In Iyengar yoga, we use a highly applied discipline to study the movements of the body and the mind.
These classes will give guidance for newer students to evolve their home practice, and for long-time practitioners unfamiliar with the Iyengar method, to start with the fundamentals.
In the fundamentals, the main or most important rules one learns are the actions necessary to build from the ground up. Learning a sense of direction in the asana while one grows a kinaesthetic experience helps to deepen the body awareness.
Much like you build a home, starting with the foundation, to systematically apply art and science to develop into a connected, strong, flexible, and conscious being. We slowly learn through our experience and consistency to nurture the physical and mental fortitude to withstand challenges from outward as well as inward.
In this class, the focus begins in the feet as we travel up through the legs and pelvis, arms and shoulders, bringing awareness to these areas.
Join me as we prepare the soil to start from the foundation up!
Namaste, Kathy
