The Yoga Centre Alexandria practices Iyengar Yoga and is an extension of our King Cross school welcomes all levels to experience Iyengar Yoga.

What is Iyengar Yoga?
Iyengar Yoga is based on the teachings of the living yoga master B.K.S. Iyengar, who began teaching in Pune, India, in 1936 at the age of 18.

Today, at 92, he continues to teach and inspire students all over the world. His daughter, Geeta, and his son, Prashant, are also accomplished teachers.

The Iyengar family’s teachings are deeply grounded in the yoga sutras of Patanjali, an ancient summation of the path of yoga considered to be at least 2,500 years old.
