Iyengar Yoga: Precision, Presence, and the Path Inward
Iyengar Yoga is more than a sequence of postures- it’s a dialogue between structure and awareness, between effort and surrender.
Developed by B.K.S. Iyengar, the method grew from years of intense practice, self-study, and the belief that every body, regardless of ability, can discover greater strength, balance, and freedom through yoga.
His groundbreaking book, Light on Yoga, first published in 1966, continues to guide millions worldwide.
At its heart, Iyengar Yoga is about progress, not performance, about cultivating depth through attention.
Every pose becomes a meditation in precision: the way the foot meets the mat, the breath expands through the ribs, the spine lifts into alignment, and awareness fills the space between.
The Method
Iyengar Yoga teaches gradual, steady transformation.
Each sequence is thoughtfully designed to build strength, flexibility, and a deeper connection to your body.
The practice uses props- blankets, belts, blocks, benches, wall ropes, sandbags, and chairs - not as crutches, but as bridges: tools that make the practice accessible to beginners and challenging for advanced students alike.
Through this refined use of support, the body opens safely, the mind sharpens, and breath becomes an anchor.
The props create pathways - into poses, and into presence.
My Journey with Iyengar Yoga
Iyengar Yoga is the third essential piece on my physical and spiritual path.
It connected everything I had already learned through Pilates and meditation.
On a mental level, it made me sharper, more confident, and more focused.
On a spiritual level, it revealed yoga as an active meditation, a moving inquiry into self-awareness.
I have been a committed Iyengar Yoga practitioner since 2010, and in 2017, I completed the two-year teacher education program at the Iyengar Yoga Institute of New York.
Though I chose not to pursue formal certification afterward, this intensive program required years of dedicated practice and deep immersion in the tradition, a discipline that continues to shape how I teach and live.
How I Teach
My approach honors the classical Iyengar method, its structure, precision, and care- while meeting students where they are.
Every session is guided by observation: how the body stands, breathes, compensates, and releases.
We work slowly, intelligently, and with deep respect for each person’s anatomy and energy.
I currently offer private one-on-one and small group sessions online, via Zoom or FaceTime, with students across the world.
Each class is adapted to your individual needs, abilities, and goals- whether that means rebuilding after injury, refining alignment, or discovering the meditative stillness that lives inside each pose.
Why This Practice Matters
Iyengar Yoga teaches us that awareness begins with the body, but doesn’t end there.
When posture and breath align, the mind follows - becoming quiet, steady, and awake.
Through this practice, you learn not just how to move, but how to inhabit yourself fully.
And in that presence, you begin to touch the essence of yoga: balance, integrity, and grace.
If you’re ready to explore yoga as both discipline and meditation, I’ll meet you on the mat- wherever you are.
