What is Iyengar Yoga?

Iyengar Yoga is a form of Hatha Yoga that places particular focus on precision, alignment and mindful movement. Developed by B.K.S. Iyengar, this practice uses props such as blocks, belts and blankets to help students safely access postures and gradually deepen their understanding of the body.


At YogaOne in Penarth, classes are designed to be inclusive and progressive — ensuring every student builds confidence and ability in a structured, supportive environment.


Why Choose Iyengar Yoga in Penarth?

Our Penarth yoga studio attracts a welcoming community of adults from all walks of life: retirees seeking gentle but effective exercise, work-from-home professionals looking for stress relief, and those wanting to improve posture, flexibility and overall wellbeing.


Key benefits include:

  • Improved flexibility and strength

  • Enhanced posture and balance

  • Better focus and mental clarity

  • Relief from everyday aches and tension

  • Supportive classes for all levels


The Mind-Body Connection

One of Iyengar Yoga’s most celebrated strengths is its ability to reconnect mind and body. Through careful instruction, conscious breathwork and steady progression, students learn to observe how the body feels in each posture. Over time, this awareness helps reduce stress, improve emotional resilience and create a greater sense of calm in daily life.


At YogaOne, classes are structured to build week by week, helping you develop not only physical ability but also mindfulness and self-understanding.
