Workshops and Retreats In addition to the regular timetable we offer 3-hour Yoga Sundays with a specific focus, weekend workshops and retreats. Check the notices on our timetable page for details. Level 1 All students new to Iyengar yoga. We start at the beginning. The preliminary postures, or asanas, are taught in a way that develops a foundational understanding of the method of Iyengar yoga and its use of props. Level 2 For more experienced students. In level 2 classes we start to work with more subtlety, precision, and longer timings within the postures. A wider range of asanas are introduced, including the inversions. Level 3 For students who have an ongoing commitment to their practice and have already spent some time attending level 2 classes. Here we work to refine our skill in action, and develop greater depth of perception in the practice.
