Q. How do I know what level of class to sign up for?
A. Read the class descriptions, they outline what to expect. You may also seek advise from the instructor

Q. I have taken a yoga class before, but it was another style, or, it has been awhile since I have practiced yoga, what level am I ready for?
A. It is recommended that you begin at Level I to learn the basics, terminology, and how to use props in Iyengar Yoga. Level I will also build your stamina and endurance if you haven't practiced for some time.

Q. What about a physical concern?
A. The instructor at YPC does not teach therapeutic yoga; to determine if yoga is suitable for you, please get advice from your physician. Please advise your teacher before class if you have any significant health problems, are pregnant, or are menstruating so that alternative poses or classes can be suggested. Classes can be designed for those with minor health concerns only.

Q. What if I can't come to all the classes during a session, may I just drop-in whenever I want?
A. Iyengar yoga is taught in a systematic way, week 2 will have information linked in from week 1, and so on. Dropping into a class is not advisable after the 2nd week of classes. Also, some of the classes are large and cannot accommodate drop-ins. Wait until the next session to register, please.

Q. Can I practice yoga at home?
A. Yes, it is recommended you practice at home what you remember best from a recent class. See, also, the Guidelines and recommended readings to better understand the asana practice and to learn and study yoga philosophy. These books will enhance your enjoyment of taking an Iyengar yoga class. In addition, the Iyengar web site is interesting to look at for more information > http://www.bksiyengar.com
