Iyengar Yoga with Maryam Naghibi

Precision is central to Maryam Naghibi's teaching style, but her warm personality and crew of regulars keep the class feeling casual. Expect tons of individual instruction per pose because she knows every student by name and makes an effort to understand each person's practice and body. Maryam also incorporates lots of props to take you deeper, find better alignment and reveal spaces (and shaking muscles!) you never knew you had. Leave any ego about using straps, blocks and bolsters at the door. This isn't your calorie-blazing, sweat-inducing yoga class – instead come ready to move slowly and explore every asana with workshop-like detail. Great for beginners to break down essential poses.
