Yoga Classes

Students of SKYS regularly attend classes taught by trained and certified Iyengar yoga teachers.

How to Begin at SKYS ( 5 week Beginner Course)

If a student hasn't done any Iyengar Yoga previously, it is recommended to start with a beginner course.

In beginners classes ( Beginners Course), teachers introduce students gradually to the foundational asanas.

Class types

In intermediate classes (Level 1 and 2), asana practice is consolidated and pranayama (the yogic breathing technique) is introduced.

In advanced classes (Level 3), very experienced students, teachers and teacher trainees practise at an intense level.

The mature classes are for mature students starting out.

Kids classes are for 7 to 12 year olds, and run according with school terms.

Attendance information

The Iyengar method of teaching develops heightened self-awareness and concentration, and the studio atmosphere is one of attention and application, not competition. At all times the teaching is oriented towards gradual but steady progress, rather than rapid but fleeting results.
