Iyengar Yoga - Suitable for All

In-person

This course will take place in person.

The Iyengar system of yoga emphasises precise and careful body alignment, muscular balance, and maximum spinal extension.

This style of yoga helps release tension, improve posture, and gradually retrains the body to become stronger, more supple and healthy.

Who is this course for?

This course is suitable for both beginners and more experienced students.

Will I need any equipment or materials?

Please wear clothing which allows you to move freely and work in bare feet.

Practical information
  • Students should be able to kneel and get up and down from the floor easily.
  • To make the classes more accessible to all abilities, equipment such as blocks and belts will be used.
  • Yoga mats will be provided, but you are welcome to bring your own mat if you prefer.
  • Changing room facilities are available.
