Iyengar Yoga is named after B.K.S Iyengar who was born in India in 1918 and was introduced to Yoga at the age of 16. He practiced first to heal his own body, and continued with devotion during his lifetime, using his body as a laboratory, to continuously learn and find ways of helping his students. Which is why he started using various props such as chairs, blocks, belts and blankets. With the use of props and personalised adjustments, Iyengar Yoga makes the practice available to all, promoting healing, strength, balance and helping to quiet the mind. Iyengar Yoga is founded on the belief that Yoga is accessible to everyone, regardless of their physical condition or age.
"Health is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind and spirit. When one is free from physical disabilities and mental distractions, the gates of the soul open."
I have been teaching for over 17 years and practicing for over 25 years. Whatever your experience, age and ability, I am passionate in helping you to enjoy and get the most benefit from your Yoga practice. I believe in teaching classes which are engaging, light-hearted and fun whilst staying true to the art, science and philosophy of Iyengar Yoga.
"Yoga is like music. The rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind and the harmony of the soul create the symphony of life."
