Questions & Answers
Find answers about getting started, choosing classes, membership and making the most of your practice with Yoga Selection.
Finding Your Practice
I'm new to Iyengar Yoga. Where should I begin?
Yoga Selection's 30-Class Beginner Course provides a structured introduction to Iyengar Yoga. The course gradually introduces foundational poses, alignment principles and the use of props, allowing you to develop your understanding and confidence step by step. You can work through the classes at your own pace and revisit them whenever you need.
Is Yoga Selection suitable for experienced Iyengar Yoga practitioners?
Yes. Yoga Selection includes an extensive collection of Intermediate and Advanced classes for students with an established practice. Classes explore precise alignment, sequencing, the use of props and more demanding poses in depth. Two new classes are added each week, including a new Advanced class, providing ongoing opportunities to develop and refine your practice.
Can yoga teachers use Yoga Selection to support their teaching?
Yes. Yoga Selection can be a valuable resource for Iyengar Yoga teachers and trainees who want to deepen their understanding of poses, sequencing and teaching approaches. The library offers detailed technical instruction and structured exploration of different areas of practice, which can support lesson preparation, personal study and continuing development.
Can I practise if I'm older, stiff or have limited mobility?
You don't need to be naturally flexible or physically strong to begin yoga. Iyengar Yoga emphasises careful alignment, progressive learning and the thoughtful use of props, allowing many poses to be approached in different ways. Yoga Selection includes dedicated Yoga for Ageing Bodies courses, alongside beginner courses, gentle and restorative classes, and supported sequences. These resources offer different ways to approach your practice according to your experience, mobility and individual needs.
Can I find classes for back pain, stiffness or other physical concerns?
Yes. Yoga Selection includes classes and structured courses exploring back care, hip and shoulder mobility, stiffness and other common physical concerns. Practice Discovery can help you find relevant classes and courses by searching for a particular area of the body or practice goal. If you're managing an injury or medical condition, seek advice from an appropriate healthcare professional about which approaches are suitable for you.
Classes & Courses
What's included in the Yoga Selection class library?
Yoga Selection provides unlimited access to a growing library of 1,000+ on-demand Iyengar Yoga classes and 100+ structured courses. Classes cover a wide range of experience levels, poses and areas of focus, from foundational practice to detailed Intermediate and Advanced work. Two new classes are released every week, one Intermediate and one Advanced.
What's the difference between a structured course and an individual class?
Structured courses bring together classes around a particular theme, area of practice or learning progression. They provide a guided way to develop your understanding over time, with options ranging from the 30-Class Beginner and Intermediate Courses to more focused subjects. Individual classes can also be selected independently whenever you want to explore a particular pose, sequence or area of focus.
How do I find classes that suit what I want to work on?
Practice Discovery helps you explore the Yoga Selection library according to your interests and practice needs. You can search for specific yoga poses, areas of the body, practice goals or even a particular class number. The results help you discover relevant individual classes and structured courses, making it easier to find a suitable starting point.
Can I practise whenever I like and revisit classes?
Yes. Your membership provides unlimited on-demand access, so you can practise whenever it suits your schedule and repeat classes as often as you wish. You can save favourite classes, keep track of completed classes and return to your ongoing practice through the Member Dashboard.
What equipment will I need to practise at home?
Many Yoga Selection classes use traditional Iyengar Yoga props, including blocks, belts, blankets, bolsters and chairs. These supports play an important role in developing alignment, stability and a deeper understanding of poses. However, the library also includes numerous classes that require minimal or no equipment, along with dedicated courses designed for practising with fewer props. You don't need to acquire everything at once and can gradually build your collection of props as your practice develops. Equipment requirements vary between classes.
Membership & Billing
What membership options are available?
Yoga Selection offers three membership options. Monthly and Annual memberships provide the same unlimited access to the on-demand library of 1,000+ classes and 100+ structured courses, including new classes added every week. Premium membership includes everything in the on-demand library, plus access to four weekly live classes with individual guidance and feedback. Monthly and Annual members can also arrange to attend live classes individually for an additional fee, without upgrading to Premium. You can compare the plans on our Choose Membership page.
How does the 14-day free trial work?
Monthly and Annual memberships include a 14-day free trial, giving you unlimited access to the on-demand class library and structured courses before your first membership payment. You'll be asked to provide payment details when joining, but your membership fee won't be charged until the trial ends. If you decide not to continue, you can cancel during the trial. Premium membership does not include a free trial.
Can I cancel my membership at any time?
Yes. You can cancel your Yoga Selection membership at any time through the Payment & Membership section of your My Account page. Cancelling stops future recurring payments, and you can continue accessing your membership until the end of your current paid period. If you cancel a Monthly or Annual membership during its 14-day free trial, you won't be charged a membership fee.
Can I change or upgrade my membership?
Yes. You can change your membership as your practice develops or your circumstances change. For example, you might move from Monthly to Annual membership or upgrade to Premium to participate regularly in live classes. If you'd like to change your membership, contact Yoga Selection and we'll help you understand the available options and arrange the transition.
Live Classes
How do Yoga Selection's live classes work?
Yoga Selection offers four live online Iyengar Yoga classes each week, providing opportunities for more personalised instruction alongside your on-demand practice. Classes are taught in small groups, allowing Rod to observe your practice, offer individual feedback and adapt instructions where appropriate. You'll participate from home with your camera switched on, creating an interactive learning experience with the continuity of regular classes. Live classes also complement the on-demand library, allowing students to explore related poses and sequences independently between sessions.
What experience do I need to join live classes?
Live classes are intended for students with an established foundation in Iyengar Yoga. We recommend completing Yoga Selection's 30-Class Beginner Course and developing a regular intermediate practice before joining, although previous Iyengar Yoga experience may also provide a suitable foundation. If you're unsure whether the classes are appropriate for you, you're welcome to contact us to discuss your experience.
Can I attend live classes without Premium membership?
Yes. While Premium membership includes unlimited participation in our four weekly live classes, Monthly and Annual members can also attend individual live classes for an additional fee of AUD $25 per class. Casual attendance is arranged in advance by contacting Yoga Selection, making it possible to experience live instruction without committing to a Premium membership.
Can I book a private yoga lesson?
Yes. Private online lessons are available for students who would benefit from more individual attention. Whether you're looking to develop a particular aspect of your practice, explore specific poses or receive guidance tailored to your experience and needs, you're welcome to arrange a private lesson by emailing info@yogaselection.com.
