Iyengar Yoga provides practical tools to create and maintain bodily health and vitality, mental clarity, emotional serenity, and spiritual well-being. Developed by B.K.S.

Our classes focus on strength and stamina, flexibility and balance, concentration and meditation in action. Our teachers are rigorously trained and dedicated practitioners. Our method is a pathway toward complete alignment.
