The art, science and philosophy of Iyengar Yoga brings together a person’s mind, body and breath to the benefit of his/her organic and holistic wellbeing.

This method of Hatha Yoga, created by BKS Iyengar, teaches the classic Yoga postures with the help of yoga props. Deep awareness of proper alignment and precise actions in the body are emphasised. We start from the outside of the body and work inwards, moving mindfully and progressively through various poses to improve posture, flexibility, stamina and strength.

Beginners are just as welcome as the seasoned practitioner – as is anyone, of any age, who is struggling with general ailments or minor injuries or medical conditions related to poor posture & alignment.

We don’t practice yoga to be good at yoga. We do it to be better at life. Whatever it is that we want to do better, yoga will help – be it running, sleeping peacefully, office work, studying, driving, or parenting, – everything becomes more doable. It really is a voyage of self-discovery.

Why not give it a try – and bring a friend! All you need is a yoga mat, and comfortable close-fitting clothing that doesn’t restrict your movement.
