How do I begin to study Iyengar Yoga?

You may start in our Introductory or Beginner classes.

What if I'm not flexible?

Beginner students are stiff more often than not. The postures are designed to increase flexibility. Equally important benefits of yoga, however, are increased strength and endurance.

What if I have a physical problem?

The practice of yoga avoids shocks to the system and abrupt movements. If you have a physical limitation, please inform your teacher of your condition and of any recommendations from your physician.

What about yoga for the reduction of stress?

Yoga is a recognized tool for stress management. It educates the body to recognize and release stored tension.

Will I be taught meditation?

The meditative aspect of Iyengar yoga springs form the complete concentration and participation of body, mind and spirit in a posture. This total involvement in the posture is meditation, and is taught at the Yoga Center in a dynamic, straightforward way.

Where can I find the words of the Invocation to Patangali?

You can find the Sanskrit words, a translation and get access to a sound file in our page on Iyengar yoga.

Where can I get yoga equipment to practice at home?

We do sell equipment at the centre for SADIYA members and Yidengar yoga students. Details can be found in our SADIYA page. Please ask your teacher.
