‘Yoga allows you to rediscover a sense of wholeness in your life, where you do not feel like you are constantly trying to fit the broken pieces together. Yoga allows you to find an inner peace that is not ruffled and riled by the endless stresses and struggles of life. Yoga allows you to find a new kind of freedom that you may not have known even existed’.

– B.K.S Iyengar

What people say...

“Lindsay is quite simply a wonderful, inspired and inspiring teacher. She exemplifies everything I like about Iyengar yoga: she is really clear when explaining the poses, she encourages you, she challenges you. She is generous and demanding. It's never about how much she knows or can do; it's about you being as good as you can be, with the body you have, today. And she has a great sense of humour, too! However I might be feeling at the start of a class, I know I will feel 100% better by the end of it”.

I had a seven year break from yoga having had two children and a slipped disc. I started Lindsay’s classes in London. She is an inspiring teacher with a huge amount of knowledge. My practice improved quickly with her skilled guidance and my lower back pain is almost gone. She has a lovely, kind, calming way of teaching and you leave her classes wonderfully calm and two centimetres taller!

"Iyengar yoga has been a part of my life for years. Lindsay’s teaching has deepened my practice, brought new awareness to familiar asanas, and built both strength and courage in ways I could not have imagined. She teaches with dynamic focus on individual needs whilst creating a calm and warm atmosphere for the class. She brings lightness and humour with extensive knowledge and rigour. I love her classes!"
