We teach Iyengar yoga which is based on the study of asanas (postures) and pranayama (breathing techniques). Both traditional and modern Iyengar yoga is accessible to all, irrespective of age or physical condition.

 

This method emphasises alignment of the body, precision, intensity of movement and duration of the āsanas.

 

B.K.S. Iyengar also developed the use of props (belts, bricks, blankets etc) in order to enable a heightened understanding of the postures and to make it possible for practitioners to carry out the postures even if the body is not yet ready (for example in terms of strength and/or flexibility).

 

The Iyengar method is progressive and structured.

The practitioner progresses gradually, fully confident that he/she will not become injured. The practitioner will develop both strength and flexibility but also enhanced self-awareness and concentration.

 

Classes end with deep relaxation which results in finishing the practice feeling refreshed.

​

The practitioner leaves the class with a sense of having exercised his/her body, but also of feeling less tired and recharged.

Week by week, the positive effects of the practice can be felt more strongly, bringing both increased energy and a sense of serenity each day, as well as enabling practitioners to be better able to deal with life’s challenges.
