Ginnie's Iyengar Yoga Journey
Ginnie has practiced Iyengar yoga for 14 years. I first came across Iyengar Yoga while living abroad in Belgium and despite having practiced Ashtanga and Hatha styles, soon developed a love for the discipline. As a scientist, the dedication to alignment and the methodical approaches of Iyengar Yoga really resonated with my approach to the practice. This discipline also aids with the ultimate ambition of yoga, to stop the everyday cessations of the mind, via meditation in practice.

Having suffered from lower back pain for the best part of 25 years, I found the inclusive style of Iyengar Yoga via the use of props and supports, has enabled me to progress my practice in a safe way. I have now qualified as a registered Iyengar Yoga Teacher, one of only two in Lincolnshire, to be able to share the benefits of this particular style with you.
