The journey up and down Mount Snowden. We followed the Miners track on the way up, a very scenic route past old copper mines and lakes before a steep rocky scramble to the top. After reaching the summit a sudden blizzard meant it was the Llanberis route on the way back. A bit slower but definitely less treacherous! 🥶⛰️🙏🏻

What a privilege it is to be part of the UK group for this years Yoganusasanam. 🙏🏻

Iyengar Yoga has a truly global community, and this becomes especially clear when we travel to Pune to study at the source. Every year, students and teachers from all over the world gather, practise together, and deepen their understanding of the method. A tradition that is unique to Iyengar yoga.

Our Chair, , and her sister, , are currently in Pune taking part in Yoganushasanam 2025, alongside a wonderful UK cohort in this photo. It’s inspiring to see so many dedicated practitioners representing our community and learning together under one roof.
