I have studied yoga with so many different teachers, but, I have only ever studied with Iyengar Yoga teachers. For me, BKS Iyengar embodied the subject, he became the subject. He was like fire on the subject where it needed fire, and cooling on the subject where it needed cooling. He transmitted yoga and the subject of yoga leaves us feeling whole.
When we teach we should try to step aside and let the subject come through to the student, but, we all have our own nature, our Prakruti, so the echo of the subject will come differently from each teacher.
Prashant Iyengar, BKS Iyengar's son, gave a beautiful discourse on exactly this subject in Bellur, January 2025. Over three days he opened up so much about the different personalities in their family and the way each of them have come to yoga and the way they transmit the subject.
My classes are deeply rooted in the Iyengar Yoga system, yet, I continually evolve my approach. Every class is an offering to humanity and to the gift of life within us connecting to the life all around. I structure my classes in a termly approach and develop themes through the academic year. I am not always serious as sometimes the seriousness of the subject is too much, and laughter brings us back down.
I would be delighted to welcome you to class and hope I can offer a space for students to develop their yoga life.
"Well balanced - each class has focus, correction & a healthy dose of laughter. I always feel comfortable to have a go, have a break or try something new. I also really appreciate your teaching/corrections - it helps me know/recognise how to do it on my own. "
"This has been a very welcoming class curated by Annie, I would highly recommend. This style of yoga allows you to explore your body with you finding yourself in surprising positions. There are restoritive classes regularly to help practice peace and bring those elements to the other weeks. I have thoroughly appreciated how Annie watches and knows when to give adjustments and when to step back and let us explore. I was looking for a deeper practice when starting with this class at the beginning of 2026 and I always come away grateful I attended."
