The yoga and the method
The Iyengar method is the core of Venky's teaching. It was developed by B.K.S. Iyengar and places weight on precision, alignment and strength, using props so that each posture can be practiced correctly by any body. Iyengar Yoga runs for an hour, and Iyengar Chair Yoga uses the chair in the same spirit, so that each person can feel the full shape of a posture.
Alongside this, the classes cover Hatha, Salt Heat Santulana Yoga (Balance), Salt Heat Detox Flow and Chair Yoga, so the range reaches from strong work to gentle, seated practice.
How the week runs
Classes take place mostly in the morning, with about half starting before noon and a fifth before 9am. The busiest start times are 9:45am and 8:30am in the morning, and 7pm and 8:15pm in the evening. Wednesday, Friday and Thursday carry the most classes.
The Balestier studio holds most of the schedule, and the Tanjong Katong studio offers a smaller selection. Each class is typically an hour long.
