If you want to learn Yoga in Sydney, then this course of 8 classes is for you.

Iyengar yoga is a slightly more strenuous form of Yoga which challenges the muscles by holding the postures for a longer period of time. New postures are introduced & built upon weekly. Particular emphasis is placed on body alignment, flexibility, strength and balance. Suitable for all fitness levels.

Agenda

During this course the intention is that the following topics will be covered, but not necessarily in the order given. Due to the flexible nature of Adult Education classes, parts of the curriculum may be adapted to suit the needs of the class.

Iyengar method of Yoga may be said to define itself as different from other styles of Yoga by 3 key elements, namely Technique, Sequence and Timing:

• Technique means the student learns finer adjustments in the alignment of how they perform movements.
• Sequence refers to the sequences in which movements are practiced.
• Timing refers to the length of time spent in postures. The concept of timings means postures are held for considerable lengths of time to let the effects of the poses penetrate deeper within the individual.
• During the course, correct body alignment will be taught to allow the body to develop harmoniously in an anatomically correct way so that the student suffers no injury or pain when practising correctly.
• The 8 weeks have been structured and categorised so as to allow a beginner to progress surely and safely from basic postures to the most advanced as they gain flexibility, strength and sensitivity in mind, body and spirit.

Objectives

The intended Learning Outcomes for this course are as follows.

By the end of the course the student will have:

• Increased strength and energy levels;
• Learned how to relax;
• Improved health and well being;
• Increased balance and flexibility.
