Course Description
Join us for a series of Community Yoga Practices designed for students who wish to deepen their study in a fully equipped Iyengar studio.
If you’re looking for time to explore asana with wall ropes, refine a sequence, ask questions, or simply practice within a supportive community, this session offers the perfect environment.
The instructor will provide a suggested sequence to guide your study, or you may develop your own practice.
Together, we will create a shared space encouraging curiosity, growth, and the joy of practicing together.
Please note: This is a practice session, not a class
One year of prior experience is recommended. If you're new to yoga, we recommend starting with our Fundamental classes before joining this session.
Please contact Ruchi at ruchi@californiayoga.com with questions.
Sliding Scale - pay what you can or use your membership or class pack.
