My first yoga class over 20 years ago had me instantly hooked. I liked the discipline and the practice of physical postures (asanas) which work on all muscles in the body, developing strength and flexibility.

Iyengar yoga can really make you understand your own body no matter what weaknesses or difficulties you may come across. It's a style of yoga that can be practised throughout every stage of life and by anyone.

As you learn, yoga increases concentration and body awareness, bringing a sense of balance to both mind and body. I still remember walking out of that first class feeling taller, and with a sense of contentment.
