The Iyengar Yoga (UK) Research Committee is dedicated to fostering research on Iyengar yoga and facilitating the exchange of research findings on yoga-related issues as a means of improving the mental, physical and spiritual health of our community.

We wish to facilitate connections between people with common research interests and make the benefits of Iyengar yoga more visible to the wider healthcare community in general.
