About the course

This 4-part course aimed at students with more than 3-4 years experience with Iyengar yoga.

There are 4 classes included:

Iyengar standing poses for experienced students

This sequence aims at refining your understanding and perception in the standing poses. The idea here is to start to use the standing poses that you are already familiar with in order to investigate the poses further and use them to explore imbalances in the body.

Iyengar forward bends for experienced students

This sequence is aims to take the experienced student through a wide range of forward bends in what could be called a ‘classical’ progression.

Iyengar backbend Variations derived from Guruji

This sequence covers quite a number of backbends, though not all the variations are included here and there are a few more recent additions to prepare the mind and body for the backbend session. This a slightly adapted sequence handed down from Guruji through Dona Holleman.

Restorative and pranayama for advanced students

A restorative session aimed at opening the chest and quietening the mind in preparation for some sitting and a short Pranayama session followed by Savasana.
