About Therapeutic Yoga Classes

Iyengar Yoga Therapy Classes allow students who have back, shoulder, neck, knee, organic ailments, or emotional and stress related problems to work with an experienced and specially trained teacher in a semi-private manner.

Students will learn how to practice a healing adaptive yoga program that should enable them to make progress in overcoming their ailments or injuries. This highly individualized work has been developed over the past 60 year by BKS Iyengar in India where Laura has been studying.

During class each student will be practicing their individualized sequence of postures specially designed for them by Laura. Laura will work with each person present individually and also do some work with the group as a whole.
