What is Iyengar Yoga
Iyengar Yoga is a popular style of yoga that emphasizes precise alignment and the use of props to support and enhance the yoga postures. The health-promoting alignment of the body is brought into harmony with the mind.
Through the safe use of props (such as blankets, cushions, belts etc.), this yoga method is accessible to everybody independent of body type and age, health conditions or injury.
Iyengar Yoga teachers undergo rigorous standards of accreditation in their extensive teacher training and need to be licensed to use the Iyengar Certification Mark.
As a long-term and consistent Iyengar-orientated Newcastle yoga studio, we exclusively teach the Iyengar yoga method and nurture this authentic and world-renowned tradition.

Story of a Newcastle yoga teacher
I often get asked this question, "What do you do for work?". When I reply that I am a full-time yoga teacher in Newcastle, many more unspoken questions arise. In reality, there is not a simple answer to this question.

The Wall is Our Friend in Iyengar Yoga
The wall is probably one of the most versatile props that can be used in yoga based on our individual needs. It provides gentle support, is great for restorative work, or can provide that extra challenge. Making use of this in the practice of yoga can prove to be an invaluable asset to facilitate self-correction and learning.

Our 10-week Beginners Course
Is signing up for a 10-week Beginners Yoga Course too daunting for you? We get it, it is a big commitment. That’s why we are offering this budget-friendly course for you to benefit in the best possible way from our classes. You won't find answers about what Iyengar Yoga is in a one-off class. Regularity is the key.
