Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher Susan Carter will lead a four-week Introduction to Iyengar Yoga series from 3:30 to 4:45 p.m. on each Wednesday beginning on April 8 at the AHA! A Holistic Approach Center, in Fort Myers. Yoga, when practiced through achieving the proper positions, has been shown to have many health benefits, from reducing stress, boosting the immune system, improving and preventing osteoporosis, and defending against injuries.

Iyengar Yoga creates a unique teaching environment that allows practitioners to focus in the moment and “abide calmly in the body”. Its unique characteristics include asanas that are held longer, allowing mind-body coordination and deeper expansion; the use of props such as belts, blocks and blankets, making it accessible to most people or all skill levels; strong emphasis on detail, precision and alignment in posture and breath control; teachers actively correcting the mis-alignments through words and touch; and the sequencing of poses to aid understanding and performance.

Cost: $60 for entire series. Location: 15971 McGregor Blvd. For more information or to register, call 239-433-5995, email [email protected] or visit AHolisticApproachCenter.com.
