What is Iyengar yoga?

Iyengar Yoga was developed by BKS Iyengar, one of the most widely acknowledged yoga teachers in the world. It places a deep emphasis on precision and alignment, taking the time to understand each posture fully before moving on.

It is known for the use of props, such as bolsters, blocks and belts, which allow students to practice their poses in the safest and most beneficial way, and also makes poses more accessible for students that are new to the practice of yoga, or that have physical limitations.

This makes Iyengar Yoga especially accessible for those that suffer from injuries, stiffness or that thought they were too old (or young!) to do yoga. However, intermediate and advanced students will find themselves more than sufficiently challenged, since Iyengar Yoga encourages growth and constant improvement.

When I discovered yoga 27 years ago, it quickly became my source of clarity and space - both mentally, physically and spiritually. I found that my yoga practice allowed me to be present for what is important in my life: my family, friends, community and pets. After gaining such peace through my own practice, I wanted to be able to share this with others. I chose to pursue my Iyengar yoga qualification, and over the last 14 years have grown through my Level 1, and then Level 2 certifications, as well as multiple trips to Pune, India (the International Iyengar Yoga Institute), and immersions with many local and international senior teachers. I see yoga as a lifelong journey, and always aim to guide my students with compassion and deep understanding towards their version of a joyous and peaceful life, both on and off the mat.

As the owner of My Yoga Space Hermanus, I am deeply grateful for my wonderful students and co-teachers, as well as the ability to mentor and guide the next generation of teachers. My Yoga Space is open to all - a place of connection, growth and peace.

Yoga has been at the heart of my life since 2014. Through the precision and depth of the Iyengar method, I love helping people build strength, balance, confidence, and ease in everyday life.

When I'm not teaching, you'll find me with my family or exploring Africa through hiking and wild camping. Nature continually inspires my practice and reminds me of the value of simplicity, connection, and living fully in the present.

Stepping onto a yoga mat is like the magic carpet where your breath carries the body to destinations of the mind, and then the soul. Yoga to me is a way of life that guides and educates every moment of existence, and this is how I see my role: as a guide to your own discoveries on the mat.

Official qualifications have allowed me to offer classes in large and small towns across the Western Cape for 22 years, and now I have found my next destination: Hermanus. Here, at My Yoga Space studio we share our passion for the art, science and philosophy of Yoga with utter joy and gratitude.
