IYENGAR YOGA

Though it may sound odd and slightly complicated, Iyengar Yoga is great for beginners and it’s our passion at Austin Yoga Tree. Our Iyengar teachers help beginners and seasoned yoga students understand each pose, or asana, by providing clear verbal instruction with a focus on proper alignment. You’ll not only practice yoga but also build a foundational understanding of each pose. For this reason, you’ll often find AYT teachers in class right beside you enjoying their own personal practice. Some of the poses you can expect in an Iyengar class are Mountain Pose, Triangle Pose and Downward-Facing Dog (or Down Dog). Props are your friends in this class - blocks, bolsters, blankets and even the Yoga Wall come in handy. 
In the words of B.K.S. Iyengar: "It is through the alignment of the body that I discovered the alignment of my mind, self, and intelligence." *Beginners and all levels welcome.
IYENGAR YOGA LEVEL 2

Deepen your practice and relax your mind. Deepen your practice and relax your mind. Recommended for students with at least 6-months of yoga practice, this Iyengar class creates a safe space for those students who are ready to explore the depths of yoga practice. It includes continued study of the standing poses and fundamental postures with further refinement, as well inversions, arm balances, and more complex postures from Light on Yoga. This class will challenge your mind and your body and take your practice to deeper levels.

YOGA WALL

Based on the Iyengar method, Yoga Wall classes are great for beginners and advanced yogis. This vertical tool creates space for overcoming obstacles to achieving proper alignment and gaining a deeper understanding of yoga poses. Your AYT instructor will guide you through how to make friends with the Yoga Wall using straps and harness attachments. It will truly be your biggest support allowing you to use gravity to your advantage. 
If you’re the tiniest bit curious, just come and play! Little known fact...The AYT Yoga Wall is a rare find. It’s only one of two in all of Austin. *Beginners and all levels welcome.
MIND, BODY YOGA
​This class blends the structure and integrity of Iyengar’s principles of alignment with a more somatic, mind/body approach, allowing for an organic and playful exploration of the poses. Asana (posture), Pranayama (breathing) and Dharana (concentration) are integrated into a balanced workout designed to strengthen and replenish the body, mind and spirit. *Beginners and all levels welcome. 

HATHA YOGA 

Experience traditional yoga postures with a detailed, systematic approach to bring your mind and body awareness into alignment with your self. Sort of a welcome home for the body and mind. You'll notice your outer layers moving deeper inward, your inner layers expanding outward. And a general sense of bliss may follow. *Beginners and all levels welcome.
MAT PILATES
Seeking to strengthen, tighten and tone the whole body in 60 minutes in a low-impact way? Look no further than our Mat Pilates class. This class serves up the key principles of Pilates such as postural alignment, breathing, core stability, controlled movement and flexibility set to an energetic soundtrack to keep you smiling through the session. To keep things interesting, mat work may also be combined with other props such as weights, balls, therabands and Barre ;) After putting in the work, you'll wind down with restorative postures and restful savasana. *Beginners and all levels welcome.

CANDLELIGHT YIN YOGA

Yin Yoga uniquely complements your traditional yoga practice by targeting the ligaments, bones, joints and deep fascia of the body. Open your body (and mind) in a whole new way. This class has an extra bonus, live healing sounds, which if you've never experienced, is a must do! *Beginners and all levels welcome.

VINYASA FLOW

Let’s get moving...and get a little sweat worked up too. Our Vinyasa Flow classes focus on uniting your body with your breath as you flow from one pose to the next. Linking the breath with the physical postures is where the magic happens! Students are often instructed to inhale with one pose and exhale with the next, moving (or flowing!) through a sequence of poses back-to-back. These sequences will help increase flexibility, strengthen and tone muscles, and allow you to tune into your body’s own rhythm. Our creative and dynamic Vinyasa classes move at a slightly faster pace than some of Hatha or Iyengar styles. *Beginners and all levels welcome.

CANDLELIGHT RESTORATIVE & SOUND

Restorative yoga class is like going to the gas station to fill up your tank (or plugging in, if you have an electric car). If you keep going and going and going, you eventually are running on fumes! Restorative Yoga fills you back up, so you can get to where you are going in peace. Exchange your worries for yoga props (blankets and bolsters) at the door. These props will be used to support your body comfortably into extended, relaxation-inducing poses. And to reward you for taking this time out for yourself, live healing sound via singing bowls will accompany your experience. This is the ultimate self-care class.  *Beginners and all levels welcome.

TEEN YOGA

Our unique Teen Yoga class offers movement through carefully curated music and connection through breath. Students will improve their strength, balance, flexibility and endurance as well as develop emotional equilibrium, self-esteem, and concentration with the deep breathing, relaxation and meditation components of each class. Our teen yoga class offers teens a safe space to practice yoga, have fun, and connect with one another. 
*Beginner friendly. Open to all levels.

Bonus Class Included with Teen Yoga: PARENT TIME-OUT    
During Teen Yoga, take a moment for yourself. We’ll have tea and a quiet, candlelit, space in a separate studio just waiting for you to take a breath and decompress. Bring a journal, a book or just yourself to enjoy the silence.
