Classes for Every Practice

Build strength, balance, and body awareness through careful Iyengar yoga instruction in Birmingham.


Beginner Iyengar Yoga

Start with the foundations of Iyengar yoga in a supportive class. Learn how to approach standing poses, seated poses, and basic movements with attention to alignment. Your teacher offers clear instructions and introduces props when they help make a pose more accessible. This class suits people who are new to yoga or want to revisit the basics.


General Level Classes

Explore a balanced sequence of poses with time to understand how each one works. Classes may include standing, seated, twisting, and restorative poses, with instruction adapted to the group. Props such as blocks, belts, and blankets can support your practice. Ask the studio which class is a good fit for your experience and current needs.


Gentle Yoga

Gentle classes offer a slower approach to Iyengar yoga, with options to rest and use props for support. The teacher guides you through accessible poses and gives time to settle into each one. This format may suit people seeking a less vigorous class or returning to movement after a break. Share relevant concerns with the teacher before class.


Restorative Yoga

Restorative practice uses props to support the body in comfortable poses held for longer periods. The class provides space to slow down, notice your breathing, and reduce effort. Your teacher can help arrange blankets, bolsters, or other supports for each pose. Ask ahead about class format and what to bring so you can arrive prepared.


Private Yoga Sessions

A private session gives you time to discuss your experience and focus with a teacher. Together, you can work through poses, alignment questions, or ways to adapt your practice with props. Sessions are planned around your needs and are not a substitute for medical care. Contact the studio to ask about availability and how to prepare.


Yoga Workshops

Workshops provide a longer session to explore a particular aspect of Iyengar yoga in more depth. The topic may focus on a family of poses, alignment principles, or the use of props. Teachers explain the purpose of each practice and offer guidance as you work. Check the studio schedule for upcoming topics, level guidance, and any items to bring.
