Question 1

Do I need to be flexible?

Accepted Answer

No! Iyengar yoga is for everyone, regardless of flexibility. Props (blocks, belts, walls) help you build poses gradually. Flexibility comes with practice.

Question 2

What should I wear?

Accepted Answer

Wear comfortable clothes that allow free movement. Avoid very loose clothing as it may prevent the teacher from seeing your alignment. Practice is done barefoot.

Question 3

Is it suitable for people with back pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Iyengar yoga is especially suitable for people with back pain. The therapeutic approach and use of props allow for safe practice. Please inform me about your issues before class.

Question 4

What makes Iyengar yoga different?

Accepted Answer

Iyengar yoga stands out through precision in alignment, sustained holding of poses, and use of props. Unlike dynamic styles, the focus here is on quality, not quantity.

Question 5

How do I sign up?

Accepted Answer

You can sign up directly from the Schedule section on this page or write to me via email or phone. A first visit is possible without prior reservation, but it is recommended.
