Yoga is the union of the body, mind, breath and spirit. As we position the physical body in asanas (yoga postures), the breath becomes even, the mind becomes calm and the spirit is rejuvenated.

Developed by BKS Iyengar, one of the world’s foremost yoga teachers, Iyengar Yoga places great emphasis on precision, alignment and detail, not only of the external form of the body, but also of the internal workings and their impact on your state of mind. Its aim is to bring the body and the mind into harmony. Regular practice promotes strength and suppleness, improves concentration and enhances a sense of wellbeing.​

In order to explore a pose fully we can use props such as belts, blankets and blocks to support the body. This enables us to discover the benefits of the pose without overstraining or incorrect action. It also allows less flexible students to experience the pose in more depth than might otherwise be possible.

Iyengar teachers undergo a rigorous and continuing training, which enables them to convey the principles, practices and philosophy of yoga with clarity and precision. These high teaching standards are part of the reason Iyengar yoga is the most widely practised method of yoga worldwide.
