You may know that yoga helps make space in your body. But it can also create space for possibility, space for expansion, and space for playfulness in your practice. If you want to learn innovative ways of creating space on and off the mat through the fundamentals of Iyengar Yoga, join senior intermediate Iyengar teacher Carrie Owerko for this six-part master class.

Each lesson focuses on one pose and one fundamental principle of Iyengar Yoga. You will explore several variations of each pose using blocks, straps, blankets, bolsters, and chairs in innovative ways to advance your asana and bring on a-ha moments in your practice. These workshops impart a sense of direction in a pose and invite you to move toward effortlessness as you deepen your practice. By the end of this intensive, you will have the tools to create an effective sequence that can be easily customized for yourself or your students.

This course qualifies for 6 non-contact continuing education hours with Yoga Alliance.
