Iyengar Yoga has become a wonderful part of my life since I began classes in Cape Town in yr 2000. I had practised yoga for a number of years before that, but once I discovered Iyengar Yoga it resonated and I stuck with the practice. After living in many countries I have encountered various inspiring Iyengar Yoga teachers, who impressed me with the constant quality and care in their teaching. They encouraged me to deepen my practice and eventually become a teacher myself. I passed the Introductory Level 1 & 2 Assessment in 2015 and am certified to teach the Introductory Course of Yoga Asana and Pranayama. ( now called Level 1) In 2019 I spent a month at the Iyengar Institute in Pune, India. I studied under the guidance of the Iyengar family and other excellent teachers at RIMYI. It was a life changing experience that deepened my understanding of yoga and the philosophy surrounding it. I continue to take weekly classes from Pune, via Zoom. With a background in classical ballet and an enjoyment of yoga, pranayama and philosophy, I hope to pass on to my students the strength of body and mind and a deeper awareness towards self and life that starts to emerge with regular yoga practice. I run a small class at The Holton Village Hall just outside Oxford. Tuesday evening is a general class, classic Iyengar style, using props . It is aimed at mixed ability students and beginners are most welcome. The classes are taught in a personalised, relaxed environment and I provide blocks, bricks, blankets and belts for newcomers. Students are, however, encouraged to bring their own mats. “ If you look after the root of the tree, the fragrance and flowering will come by itself. If you look after the body, the fragrance of the mind and spirit will come of itself ” B.K.S Iyengar
