Grad Yoga practices in the Iyengar tradition – what does that mean?
Deep and transformative, Iyengar Yoga offers a sophisticated teaching methodology that focusses on precise alignment, dynamic sequencing of postures, and the use of props such as blankets, blocks, belts and chairs. Shaped by B.K.S. Iyengar during his more than 75 years of teaching, this style of Yoga combines the ancient wisdom of the Yoga Sutras by Pantajali with individual attention to each individual student.
Iyengar Yoga develops the whole body, creating and maintaining physical health, inner peace, emotional stability and spiritual well-being. You’ll leave our classes with a life-changing clarity of mind.
Why should I take these classes and not others?
The hallmark of Iyengar Yoga is the competence of its teachers who invest almost a decade of their lives to become certified in the method.
Our classes are being taught by Catharine Vaucher, a Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher.
She has studied Iyengar Yoga since 2003 with senior teachers on the east and west coast and began teaching in 2013.
Catharine, who holds an M.F.A. in dance, also taught movement observation & analysis as a professor of dance and NYU Teaching Fellow.
With clarity and humor, her teaching engages students in exploring yoga as a means to integrate body, mind and breath—and experience the benefits of a healthy body, focused intelligence, and a calm, inspired mind.
Each class is a unique experience, with fresh sequences and perspectives.
Iyengar teachers do their best to respond to individual needs, correcting and modifying postures for alignment and physical problems.
Use of props such as blankets, blocks, straps, and chairs to make poses accessible to all ages and bodies, and to deepen the learning and experience.
Increased awareness and focused attention in practice connects the mind to the body.
You’ll develop a sense of calm and find that Iyengar Yoga reduces anxiety and depression.
