A two-hour introduction to Iyengar yoga
For beginners, returners, and anyone new to Iyengar. Saturday 19 September 2026, Adamstown.
A two-hour workshop that gives you a proper first grounding in Iyengar yoga. Iyengar has a central idea that sets it apart: the pose adjusts to your body, your body doesn't adjust to the pose. Using props — blocks, straps, bolsters — you set each pose up so you can feel what it's doing, then hold it long enough to work. It builds strength and mobility gradually, and it suits stiff beginners and experienced movers equally well. $39 for the two-hour workshop.

The workshop runs as part of our Open Day — a morning of free taster classes across yoga, Pilates, Movement & Strength and Longevity. See the full Open Day.
What the workshop covers
One session, Saturday 19 September
The workshop runs for two hours on the morning of our Open Day, starting at 11:00am. In that time you'll be introduced to a handful of foundational Iyengar poses — how to set each one up with props, what it's meant to be doing, and how to hold it so the work actually happens.
You'll leave understanding how the method works and how to keep practicing it, whether you carry on with us or take it elsewhere. No experience needed — just comfortable clothing you can move in, and a willingness to learn. Everything else is provided.

Why Iyengar, and why for you
Yoga styles differ more than most people realise. Here's what makes this one worth starting with.
The pose works for your body, not the other way around.
Iyengar uses props — blocks, straps, bolsters, and the wall — so the shape of each pose is set up correctly for the body you have today. A tight-hipped beginner and an experienced practitioner can be in the same pose, in the same room, both getting something out of it. Nothing is watered down. Nothing is out of reach. You work at the edge of what your body can actually do, which is where progress happens.
You learn what each pose is for.
Iyengar classes move slower than flow classes, and that's the point. Poses are held long enough for you to feel where the strength is meant to be, where the length is meant to be, and what to adjust. In two hours you'll get a genuine first foundation — not just the shape of a handful of poses, but a sense of what they're doing and why. That understanding is what lets a practice keep developing over time, rather than plateauing after a few months.
It builds real strength, not just flexibility.
Holding a standing pose correctly for ninety seconds is hard. Holding it with your legs working, your spine lengthening, and your breath steady is harder. Iyengar asks the body to do more than it looks like from the outside, which is why it produces steady gains in strength, balance, and mobility — and why people keep coming back to it into their sixties, seventies, and beyond.
After the workshop ...
... if you'd like to keep going
The workshop is a standalone two hours — come for that and nothing more if that's what suits you. But if it leaves you wanting to keep practising, the next step is our 4-Week Introductory Membership: unlimited classes for four weeks, including our Iyengar and Yin classes, with no lock-in and no automatic charge at the end.
If you decide to continue, we'll credit your $39 workshop fee toward it — so the workshop counts as a first step, not a separate cost. You can sign up on the day in the studio.

Small Classes, Deliberately
This workshop suits adults who are new to yoga, returning after years away, or curious about Iyengar specifically. We have beginners in their thirties and beginners in their seventies. Fitness, flexibility, and coordination aren't prerequisites — they're some of the things the practice develops. Two hours is enough to give you a real feel for the method and decide whether you'd like to take it further.

Classes are capped so teachers can correct and adjust every person in the room. You're not at the back of a crowded studio trying to work out what's going on. You're in a small group where the teacher can give you real attention.
