Norah Phipps Iyengar Yoga

Norah Phipps Iyengar Yoga Iyengar Yoga Classes in Hexham area. Norah has been teaching Iyengar Yoga in the Hexham area since 2006 after qualifying as a teacher.

She passed a further exam in 2012. Norah has been privileged to be taught and corrected(!) by excellent teachers locally and also many visiting teachers. In 2014 she attended the Iyengar Yoga (UK) Convention which was led by Abhijata Iyengar which was a great privilege. In June 2015 she attended the Iyengar Yoga (UK) Convention led by Bijoo which was a totally different but equally enthralling experience.

2016 took Norah to the Iyengar Yoga (UK) Convention led by Raya which was also very different and very dynamic but equally thoughtful and provoking. Iyengar Yoga has inspired Norah through the experience of developing harmony of body and mind through the various yoga poses. "Words cannot convey the value of yoga - it has to be experienced." BKS Iyengar

It's 19 years since I qualified as an Iyengar yoga teacher. Unbelievable where that time has gone.

It's worth noting to be an Iyengar yoga teacher the route has changed since I qualified but if anything become a harder route.

For me -I had to be a student for 3 years. Attend training over 2 years. Pass an exam with 4 people assessing the yoga and teaching.

Then continuing as a teacher requires ongoing attendance at classes with a teacher, having an up to date first aid certificate, attending a shared learning event for teachers to learn together on a particular subject. This enables the use of the Iyengarr Yoga Certification Mark.

I'm proud of being an iyengar yoga teacher, though often feel unworthy.

10 years ago this week an intrepid group got together to have their photos taken doing yoga -11 people turned up, of those 1 has died, 1 moved to France, and 2 were drafted in on the night to make the numbers up...so 7 of them are still continuing their yoga journey attending classes regularly. That's something to really celebrate.

Yesterday on a day out doing a tour of a whiskey distillery with 11 of us, two were yoga students I hadn't seen for 5 or 6 years. Great that their yoga journey has continued.

Lovely to catch up with people.

Sequence to relief knee pain
The sequence is based on a program developed by B.K.S. Iyengar for the relief of knee pain (as described in his book Yoga for Sports, pages 90–91).
The sequence was presented and practised by Julio Dieguez Papi, a martial artist as well as yoga practitioner and teacher, who is also the model in her drawing.

(Please note that these sequences are recommended to be done only under the supervision of a suitably qualified Iyengar yoga teacher after consultation with your medical practitioner).

Really enjoying the latest yoga magazine from Iyengar Yoga UK, some fascinating articles in it.

When you're on holiday and you get an unexpected message from a student who started his yoga journey from a taster session in January this year:

Just thought I'd tell you...... I'm on the Isle of Mull this week and yesterday climbed a big mountain in very poor weather (why?, I hear you ask). Normally this would have unwelcome physical repercussions for some time after but I feel pretty good today. Can't help thinking yoga must be helping 😊😊
