August is a good time boost your yoga practice. We are running two sessions in August that will make full use of the all the yoga props we have at IYISL to help you develop your practice.

BKS Iyengar invented the use of ‘props’ - belts, blocks, chairs, ropes etc. He originally called them guides and explored using them to help people work more effectively and more deeply in yoga poses.

In these sessions you can expect to be challenged and to develop your understanding of how to work effectively in yoga Asana.

Sessions will be limited to 12 students and are suitable for students who have some experience of Iyengar yoga and are keen to progress further.

Sessions will run from 11am-1:30pm.

This session is for beginners to Iyengar yoga and aims to be both enjoyable and to help you learn how to get to grips with the basic yoga poses.

It is ideal if you have some experience of doing yoga and are keen to learn how to practice to progress.

The session is inspired by Geeta S Iyengar’s teaching about how beginners in yoga should start by creating mobility (dynamic practice) in the poses and then add stability.

She wrote:

“…when stability is present at the heart of our mobility, and mobility within our stability, […]we keep an inner balance…”

The session will be taught by Marion Sinclair - an experienced yoga teacher who also manages IYISL
