Drop-in Classes
Yes We Have Drop-in Classes! There are several classes each week that you can drop-in to. It is best to have specific background in Iyengar Yoga to drop-in on any of these classes except the Friday Night Slower Yoga Class. Why? Because all of our classes are a 4-9 week series. If you lack a background in the Iyengar Yoga Fundamentals that we teach in the Level 1 Fundamentals, you slow the course down for people who have signed up for the whole 6-9 week course. If you do have Iyengar Yoga Background you can drop-in to the Fundamentals Classes listed this week on our schedule of daily and weekly classes. For those with recent Iyengar Yoga background, and are currently practicing yoga, we have more advanced classes several evenings a week. Please sign up on the website for single sessions to save the teachers time at class. The pre-requesite's and fees for each class are listed and described when you click to find out more about each of those classes.SEE THIS WEEKS SCHEDULE ON THE TABLE ABOVE

Workshops
Learn more about Iyengar Yoga with Specialized Theme Based Workshops. These 2-3 HR, Full Weekend, or 5 Day Practice Intensives workshops provide access to information that isn't available in such depth as at regular weekly classes. They help you know more about, for example, how to Open Your Hips OR get comfortable with Inversions. You can make breakthroughs in many of these deep practice sessions. Highly recommended to learn more!

Private Sessions
Private lessons for 1-2 people can be useful if: you have back problems & are looking for specialized therapeutic ways to use yoga to get better; you have a problem with basic poses in group classes; you're looking for guidance in developing an at home yoga practice; you're getting back to exercise & want to be sure you can do yoga.

Authentic Yoga, Not Trendy Yoga
Authentic Iyengar yoga doesn't keep the room artificially heated to sauna like temperatures; we keep it comfortable. We don't play music when we teach; you should hear the valuable things your teacher says, be calm & quiet within, and hear your breath. We don't need to be more overstimulated than we already are in modern life. We don't blend in weight lifting; Iyengar yoga develops useful strength & good body tone. Yoga correctly done is enough to offer immense benefits for your mind & body.
Classes For Everyone!
The Center is known as a remarkably welcoming place: for the brand new beginner, for the student who has tried and practiced other methods of yoga but is looking for more, as well as for the dedicated student looking for more expert feedback and guidance for their practice.
We Have Decades of Teaching History in the Seattle Area Since 1980
Richard Schachtel is one of the most highly trained and experienced yoga teachers in the Northwestern United States. He has assembled a group of talented, inspiring and relatable teachers to form his staff. The Center's teachers are all serious students of yoga who practice what they teach! Many have trained with Richard in his weekly classes or his teacher training courses, and have personally apprenticed with him.
