The origin of
Iyengar yoga
B.K.S. Iyengar
Iyengar Yoga is a detailed, structured and accessible style of yoga developed by renowned Indian yoga master B.K.S. Iyengar. Practised worldwide for its clarity and depth, it’s a rigorous method that emphasises precision, alignment and intelligent sequencing.
A safe, methodical and explorative discipline, Iyengar Yoga is suitable for all, regardless of age, body type or ability. Classes use supportive props and modifications, enabling students to achieve the full benefits of each posture at their own level.
A note from our founder
Yoga is a method of personal growth and self development.
Its ultimate aim is emancipation but along the way the benefits are many. Through its practice, one feels more whole, complete and integrated. Put simply, the practice of yoga optimises the human experience.
— Thomas Franklin
