At the Clifton Hill Yoga Studio we teach exclusively in the Iyengar Yoga method. Each class will lead you through a sequence of yoga poses, typically starting with the more physical before leading into a quieter, more restorative conclusion. Yoga poses and breathing techniques strengthen the body and calm the mind from the very first class. Yoga complements most forms of physical activity and is very calming on the nervous system.
