CIY, House of Yoga

Our Story

CIY provides physical, physiological and psychological support through the teachings of the classical Iyengar yoga lineage. We are rooted in the traditions of yoga with an approach suitable for the modern body and mind. You’re invited to join us, just as you are, to experience this dynamic, adaptive and healing practice.

The practice helps you take your awareness into areas of the body and revitalize them. We use a specific method of sequencing and accessing the postures that balance the body and mind and develops focus, insight, vitality and deep relaxation. Iyengar yoga helps you develop muscular tone, flexibility, alignment, stamina and precision in action. Concentration is improved as the practice trains and disciplines the mind. Iyengar yoga is often called ‘meditation-in-action’. Regular practice reduces tiredness and soothes the nerves.

Deepen your understanding of how your body works, your strengths and your limitations. You will learn progressively and have access to props and variations so the practice meets you, wherever you’re at. We welcome beginners, experienced practitioners and students of other yoga traditions. Consider your interests and goals and let us know if you’re working with any injuries, limitations and health concerns.
