Class Descriptions

Because of their extensive training, years of practice, and the nature of Iyengar Yoga, our instructors are particularly skilled at accommodating students of different levels within the same class. In fact, it is rather rare to have students all with the same level experience in any one session! That said, we want you to find a session that works for your body and your schedule. If you have any questions about where to start, or the nature of our different classes, please don’t hesitate to be in touch (hello@yhchicago.com). We welcome the opportunity to help students find the right fit!

Fundamentals: If you’re new to yoga, or to Iyengar Yoga, we suggest you begin here. The class focuses on the basic asanas (i.e. poses), actions, and approaches of Iyengar yoga, and helps students understand some of general context and philosophy behind it. For some students, this is the right class for them for an extended period. Yoga Horizons’ instructors can help students assess if they would continue to excel in a Continuing class.
Wednesdays @ 6pm
Fridays @ 9:30am
Saturdays & Sundays @ 9am

Continuing: For students with fundamentals experience who are ready for greater challenge and subtlety. Inversions or their alternatives are practiced.
Tuesdays @ 6pm
Saturdays & Sundays @ 11am

Aging Gracefully: Intended for students of all ages, participants in this class range from their 40 to 90s! A desire to address issues related to fostering both physical and mental flexibility and agility draw the diverse and lively group together. This session is intended for students who gained a basic understanding of Iyengar Yoga through the Fundamental classes.
Wednesdays @ 10:30am
Fridays @ 11:30am

Extended: A deeper exploration of posture, pranayama and philosophy. Inversions or their alternatives are practiced.
Special Sessions schedule approximately every month.
