Hello, I’m Angie Hulm, owner of AH Yoga with online and covid secure classes in West Wickham.

​At the suggestion of friends who enjoyed practicing yoga with me I started training as a Iyengar yoga teacher in 2002, passing my introductory certificate in 2005.

Since 2005, I have found that people come to yoga for many reasons. In my classes, I aim to create a homely feel for students, resulting in a welcoming community of mixed ability yoga students.

I have lived in Bromley since 1963 and began practicing Iyengar yoga in 1980. Madeleine took me to an Iyengar Yoga weekend retreat to get over a broken

romance. I loved how happy and in control I felt by the end of the weekend. As a young adult with Rheumatoid Arthritis I was pleased that Iyengar yoga helped me keep my symptoms in check. After the birth of my second child in 1996 I suffered a severe flare up of RA requiring steroids.

My regular yoga practice gave me the hope that I could avoid the potentially life-threatening side effects of this cocktail of drugs, which through an exclusion diet I was able to do. My GP and consultant has been impressed that even through physical and emotional trauma I had no flair ups of RA since being discharged by the consultant in 2001.

Following redundancy from Roffey and Clarks bookshop in 1984 I lectured and taught retail staff at Bromley College of Technology. I have a Certificate in Education and an MBA, having worked and taught Business in London schools and colleges within both statutory and private sectors for over 30 years.

On qualifying as an Introductory Iyengar yoga teacher in 2005, I established AH Yoga. I passed Iyengar yoga teaching qualifications to Junior Intermediate level 1 standard in 2008.

As part of my own practice, I attend regular classes with senior Iyengar teachers. In 2016, I was taught at the RIMIYI Yoga Institute in Pune, India – the home of Iyengar yoga.

My gentle and general Iyengar yoga classes with a small number of students provide a tailored learning experience. This may be in my well-equipped home studio in West Wickham or in local halls in West Wickham. I provide individually adapted postures to match the class to your needs. This enables me to support you to practice gently, or to challenge yourself with deeper practices and a fuller range of postures.

As a result, all my classes are suitable for beginners, improvers and returners.

Give yourself some time – you are worth it!

Iyengar Yoga

The Iyengar method of yoga is named after Yogacharya Sri BKS Iyengar.

You will learn to focus on correct alignment of the body in poses ensuring you’re working safely, with maximum benefit to your flexibility, strength and wellbeing.

Classes generally start with simple poses and gradually move towards more advanced poses, ending with a period of relaxation incorporating breathing techniques. Props, such as blocks and belts, may be used to enable you to work correctly and achieve their potential in terms of strength and flexibility.

The postures are very precise and you will be guided through them by experienced teachers who are trained to make appropriate adjustments for different physiques and for people with specific problems.

The classes can be hard work, as the poses involve intense stretching; however, you will leave the class feeling lighter and calmer. The immediate benefits of Yoga are greater flexibility and strength, and better physical health.

As you continue with your practice, psychological and spiritual benefits begin to appear.
