  1. I really appreciate the precise and thorough explanation for every pose. I have tried other Iyengar online classes and while all instructors were excellent, many relied on students stopping the video and going back to first see and then copy the pose, which interrupts the flow of the class. The pace of your classes is really good.

      Hi Arden,

      You can get purpose built yoga blankets. However conventional domestic blankets are fine. Just fold the shorter ends in together to meet and then fold it in half the other way.
