That framing matters for newcomers. Many studios assume some familiarity with poses and breathing, while this program starts from the ground up and builds over four weeks.

Who is the instructor?

Iyengar yoga is a style known for precise alignment and held poses. In her profile, she says the practice has helped her manage physical imbalance from scoliosis and recover from sports injuries.

Her profile says she welcomes new students and aims to bring fun, self-exploration and self-acceptance into her classes.
