Have you been coming to beginner or general classes for ages but are worried about what an intermediate class might entail?
Are you going to intermediate level classes but feel you are not understanding something?
That’s why we’ve launched the once-a-term improvers class!
Improvers class
An occasional 2 hour class focused on working towards intermediate class poses with time for discussion. An opportunity to build the understanding you’ll need to feel confident in an intermediate class.
You don’t necessarily have to be able to do any ‘harder’ poses in an intermediate class (although some will and you will be working towards them), it’s much more about having a good understanding of Iyengar yoga – i.e. you will know how to set out the props for shoulderstand for example and be comfortable with terminology (such as knowing where your armpit chest is!).
An intermediate level student is one who knows their capability and understands how to work safely in class: skills that are taught at beginner level. There will always be students in intermediate classes who don’t do all the poses – if they are injured, or menstruating for example, or tired, or not yet strong enough.
We always encourage regular attendees to try an intermediate class: just let the teacher know you are new to this level, and they will let you know at the end of the class if you can continue.
So… don’t be scared… be excited!
And this class should bolster your confidence, and answer any queries or concerns you may have.
