Subject: Iyengar Monthly Schedule


Trying to learn more about Iyengar. Been taking some private classes and my teacher told me that the last week of the month is Restorative postures. What are the other week? Week 1 is what? Week 2, week 3 and so on?

In Pune, week one is standing poses, week two is forward bends and twists, week three is back bends and week four is pranayama.

That doesn't mean that you just do these for the whole class though. There is always a strong emphasis on the standing poses, then the specialty for the week.

Thank you for your fast reply. I was wondering how I would fill a whole entire class with just....backbends.

And from what I hear from folks returning from Pune, this schedule is fairly loose and open to interpretation. It isn't a whole week of trikonasana or ustrasana etc.

...my dear, backbends are the soul of yoga....all else is preparation and counterpose.
