This class concentrates on Backbends, including Urdhva Dhanurasana and Dwi Pada Viparita Dandasana, focusing on circularizing the pelvis,the inner thighs and the inner upper arms. All John's classes follow the Iyengar method of yoga, based on the teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar, the foremost living yoga teacher in the world. His rigorous approach emphasizes a balance between strength and flexibility, builds endurance, and develops Self-awareness through precision in movement and attention to subtleties of body, breath, mind, and spirit. Level II Classes are for the students who have completed the introductory (Level I) course. The basic poses will be refined with an emphasis on all the standing poses. Inverted poses (headstand, plow, and shoulderstand) will be introduced. Level III classes are for students with previous Iyengar training who are strong in standing poses and can do headstand, shoulderstand, and plow with confidence. Level II/III classes are, as the name suggests, combined classes for students of both levels.Please do not attempt poses that are outside of your skill level.
