Saturdays, February 8, 15, & 22 from 1pm-2:30pm
with Devon Harris at PYP - DOWNTOWN
This three-week series will explore familiar postures in new, creative ways using a variety of props—particularly the backless yoga chair. Yoga chairs are often used in the Iyengar yoga system and can be a wonderful tool to strongly open the body and quiet the mind. This series is aimed at equipping students with the knowledge and confidence to use this wonderful prop in their own home practice, or when chairs are used in class at PYP.
Each class in this series will build on the one before and students are encouraged to participate in the full series if possible. As is common practice in Iyengar Yoga, classes will be slow and detailed, and postures will be tailored to suit each individual practitioner.
This series is taught by Devon Harris, a dedicated student of Iyengar Yoga for over 8 years, whose all-time favorite yoga pose is a backbend over a chair.
Week 1: Standing poses, introduction to inversions
Week 2: Standing poses, backbends & twists, continuation of inversions
Week 3: Restorative (including more passive exploration of standing poses, backbends & twists, and inversions)
