Iyengar Yoga Classes are held in the beautiful Meeting Hall at the Folk Art Guild in Middlesex. These classes are based on the teachings of yoga master B.K.S. Iyengar and begin with learning the art and science of asanas, or yoga postures. The yoga classes begin with simple opening positions using various props such belts, blocks, and bolsters, and gradually progress 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.

Classes are $10 for a series of 6 or more or $15 drop in. Call or text (585)233-8140 or write aschliffer@gmail.com
