Frequently Asked Questions

The studio is equipped with mats and props so you will not need to bring anything. If you have a favourite mat you like to use, please feel free to bring it.

We recommend drinking water before, and not during the class. It is best to practice yoga without food in your system. We recommend giving yourself a few hours between food and class.

Practice of the postures in Iyengar Yoga is accessible for all bodies. It can be very helpful for stiff bodies because the poses can be adapted to your specific range of motion. Two students can be doing different versions of a pose and receive a similar benefit. This approach invites the body to open rather than resist. We work to develop body intelligence so that the practice will provide a deeper connection to mind, body, and spirit.

Be sure to let the instructor know of any current injuries or health challenges. Poses can be modified accordingly so that the practice is safe. If you are seeking medical help for your injury, have your doctor clear you to attend a yoga class.

A diversity of practice is one of the distinguishing features of Iyengar yoga. We do not follow a set formula of poses but rather sequence carefully around a specific focus for each class. A class is usually structured around a specific category of poses, for example, standing poses, forward extensions, backward extensions, twists, inversions, or pranayama.
