What is Iyengar Yoga?
What is Iyengar Yoga?
The Iyengar method of yoga is named after the yoga teacher Yogacharya Sri B.K.S. Iyengar. The teaching helps you focus on correct alignment of the body in poses ensuring you’re working safely, with maximum benefit to your flexibility, strength and wellbeing. Props, such as blocks and belts, are used to allow those with less strength or flexibility to work correctly and achieve their full potential.
"I have practised Iyengar Yoga for over 30 years and have been qualified as an Iyengar Yoga Teacher since 2005. I'm now a Level 3 teacher. I love living and teaching yoga on the beautiful Yorkshire Coast and I am passionate about the benefits yoga can bring to general health and wellbeing. Come along on a Yorkshire Coast Yoga Holiday and experience the warm friendly atmosphere (maximum 10 guests for individual attention)."
