Iyengar Yoga Aspen, nestled in the scenic Roaring Fork Valley, stands out as the sole Iyengar Yoga studio in the area. Founded by Trishka Lemos, a certified Iyengar Yoga instructor, the studio offers a variety of classes designed to cater to all skill levels, from beginners to advanced practitioners.
Trishka, who began her yoga journey in 1989, emphasizes a rigorous certification process, often described as the “gold standard” in yoga training. This ensures that instructors at the studio are exceptionally well-trained in both the physical postures and the philosophical underpinnings of yoga.
The studio’s schedule includes classes every Tuesday and Thursday at the Burlingame location, making yoga accessible for busy schedules. Each session runs from 10 am to 11:30 am, accommodating all levels of experience.
Students can expect to learn through sequences that enhance skill, understanding, and personal growth in yoga. Moreover, Iyengar Yoga Aspen provides specialized sessions like yoga therapy and private instruction, tailoring practices to individual needs.
Iyengar Yoga Aspen offers various membership options tailored to different needs and budgets. The basic drop-in rate is $42, while more committed practitioners can opt for packages that reduce the per-class cost significantly.
For instance, a package of five classes costs $175, and a package of ten is priced at $300, both valid for two months from the date of purchase.
Additionally, the studio offers memberships for unlimited classes at $25 per class, providing a cost-effective option for regular attendees.
The studio doesn’t just focus on physical postures; it also offers programs like the Moon Membership. This program provides monthly content that includes meditations and insights into yoga practice, tailored for those interested in a deeper exploration of yoga beyond the physical aspects.
Iyengar Yoga Aspen is deeply involved in the community, providing a safe space for those recovering from COVID-19, dealing with chronic pain, or experiencing stress-related conditions like anxiety and PTSD.
