great studio and method for people with disabilities, health problems, etc.
I have neuro issues that prevented me from building strength and kept me in constant pain. Despite helping on myriad levels, Bikram was causing clonic-tonic seisures, so my acupuncturist, Neurologist, and stepmom all redirected me to Iyengar.
Devon turned out to be highly knowledgeable about neurological issues and experimenting with props tailored to specific issues like mine.
admittedly sore, sometimes for a while, after even the easiest classes, but i bring my body reponses back and she tweaks things to keep my nervous system from overreacting
it has been highly effective and i now have more movement and less pain from spasms & no seisures during classes like i did with Bikram (altho i loved Bikram too, but my nervous system freaks out from heat)
if u havent exercised in a while, expect to be sore, but also speak up or stop if pain occurs, and she will help fix it
