A Clear and Supportive Introduction to Yoga

Starting yoga can feel intimidating, especially if you feel stiff, are not naturally flexible or have never attended a class before. Iyengar Yoga offers a structured and accessible way to begin.

In my small home studio in Solihull, classes are limited to four students. This allows me to explain each pose clearly, observe your alignment and offer individual guidance throughout the class.

WHY IYENGAR YOGA IS IDEAL FOR BEGINNERS

Learn the Foundations Step by Step

Iyengar Yoga places great importance on clear instruction, alignment and careful progression. You are not expected to know the poses or keep up with a fast sequence.

We use supportive props such as blocks, belts, chairs, bolsters and wall ropes to make poses more accessible and help you understand how they should feel in your body.

You will learn gradually, building strength, mobility, balance and body awareness without pressure to perform.

Personal Guidance from Your First Class

My beginner classes are limited to four students, so you will not feel lost in the room. I can explain each action, correct alignment and offer alternatives when needed.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Beginner Iyengar Yoga FAQs

Do I need to be flexible to start yoga?

No. Flexibility is not a requirement. Many students begin because they feel stiff. Poses can be adapted using props, and you will work within your current range of movement.

What happens in a beginner class?

You will learn a small number of foundational poses with clear explanations. Classes usually include standing poses, gentle seated work, supported poses and relaxation.

What should I wear?

Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move freely. Leggings, shorts or fitted trousers are helpful because they make alignment easier to observe.

Do I need to bring any equipment?

No. The studio has the props and equipment needed for an Iyengar Yoga class, including mats, blocks, belts, chairs, bolsters and blankets.

Can I join if I have an injury or health concern?

Please tell me before attending so I can understand your needs. Depending on the concern, a private session or advice from an appropriate healthcare professional may be recommended first.

Where are the classes held?

Classes take place in my small home yoga studio in Solihull. The class size is limited to four students so that everyone receives individual attention.
