Iyengar Yoga Classes are held in the beautiful Meditation Hall at the Folk Art Guild in Middlesex. These classes are based on the teachings of yoga master B.K.S. Iyengar, and center around learning the art and science of asanas, or yoga postures. The class begins with simple opening positions using various props such as belts, blocks, and bolsters, and gradually progresses to more challenging poses, adjusting to meet the needs and physical conditions of each student. 

Through regular practice, students of yoga are guided towards increased awareness of their own physical, emotional, and spiritual lives. Students experience meditation in action, a state of being focused and present in the moment.
