About Iyengar Yoga

Yoga is one of the oldest systems of personal development in the world and was devised by ancient yogis to balance the body, mind and spirit to create harmony for the individual and their environment.  

BKS Iyengar used these ancient yogic teachings to develop a system that made yoga accessible for all kinds of people, which is now widely practised across the globe.

The Iyengar yoga system emphasises alignment and correct positioning and is therefore extremely safe. It uses supports (props) when necessary to help students experience poses safely, at their own pace and in a way that suits their individual body.

Iyengar yoga is therefore suitable for everyone, whatever your ability, age, body shape or level of flexibility.

Practice helps you to relax, reduce stress and energizes the body and mind, bringing vitality, flexibility, strength, concentration, self-confidence and mental calm.

Iyengar yoga can help you overcome and prevent many strains, aches and pains, promoting a strong foundation for health and well-being.

Iyengar teachers are some of the most highly trained teachers in the world, undergoing rigorous training and assessment, as well as mandatory continued professional development.
