IYENGAR YOGA CLASS FORMAT: GENERAL INFORMATION

The teaching of yoga postures in an Iyengar Yoga class is essentially similar in most classes; each teacher will teach the postures which he/she has selected for the class for a specific reason, but the manner of teaching postures is the same. This means a student can go to any teacher and fit in to the class immediately. In general the class will start with a few moments of quiet to prepare for the yoga session. This is followed by some preliminary postures to mobilise the body, open and activate the body and to quieten the brain to encourage a focused and concentrated state of mind. Standing postures are then often practiced in which one learns the fundamentals of how to adjust and align the body correctly. This has to be learnt before more advanced postures can be successfully mastered. Standing poses therefore form the foundation of even the most advanced postures and have to be studied continuously.

The practice could then focus on special postures including backbends, more standing postures, forward bends, inverted postures, restorative and recuperative postures which prepare the student for the practice of pranayama or breath control. Pranayama is normally taught in a class designed specifically for this practice and students usually begin pranayama after about two years regular asana practice, although observation of normal breathing patterns and some basic pranayamas may be introduced during the relaxation/recuperative period at the end of each asana class. The class will end with recuperative and re-energising postures.

Classes are arranged to teach groups of postures, such as backbends or forward bends standings, forward extensions, backbends, restorative, therapeutic and recuperative poses in a sequential programme.

The high standard of training of teachers ensures a good record of safety for the students. Students will often say they walk away from an Iyengar Yoga class feeling straighter and full of energy despite of having worked quite hard.
