International Women’s Day

Today we celebrate the women who have shaped, guided and sustained the living tradition of Iyengar Yoga.

We remember with deep gratitude Geeta Iyengar, whose dedication and profound understanding of the practice transformed the way yoga is taught and experienced around the world. Her work continues to inspire generations of teachers and students.

We also honour Abhijata Iyengar, who carries the teachings forward with insight, strength and compassion, sharing the depth of the method with students across the global Iyengar Yoga community.

On this International Women’s Day, we celebrate the strength, intelligence and resilience of women in yoga. Teachers, students, organisers and practitioners who nurture and sustain our community every day.

With gratitude from the Iyengar Yoga UK community.

We move gradually and progressively in today's hybrid workshop – from the stability of standing poses, to the quiet depths of forward bends, opening in backbends, and the soft discipline of inversions, that completes the path.

Soft discipline and the art of letting go yoga workshop – A level 2-3 asana practice.
Saturday 28th February 14:00-17:00

The Quiet Work of Effort and Release
Key Sūtra: Abhyāsa-vairāgyābhyāṁ tan-nirodhaḥ (I.12)
Practice: Forward bends, seated postures, quietening effort
Energy Centre: Svādhiṣṭhāna (Sacral)

Across these nine months, we gather once a month to study, deepen, and refine our practice with the clarity and intelligence of the Iyengar tradition.

Sessions offer a steady mix of core structures, a spacious three hours to explore āsana, pranayama preparation, and the quiet insights of Patañjali’s Yoga Sūtras.

We move gradually and progressively – from the firmness of standing poses, to the quiet depths of forward bends, the courage of backbends, the discipline of inversions, the fire of transformation, and the stillness that completes the path.

Every workshop brings a clear focus, a guiding sūtra, and a subtle energetic theme to support your understanding of body, breath, and attention.

This journey is for students who wish to work with consistency and curiosity; who feel the call to refine their practice, awaken intelligence, and cultivate steadiness across the year.

Whether you join one session or all nine, each afternoon is a chance to return to yourself – to move with precision, breathe with sensitivity, and meet the practice with a quiet, steady mind.

£40 in person or online, taught by Senior 3 teacher Lin Craddock (old system).
