What is Yoga?

The Avon Iyengar Yoga Institute is an established group of Iyengar Yoga teachers and pupils. Until 2000 the AIYI was known as "The Bristol Iyengar Yoga Institute" but the name was changed to reflect a more widespread membership.

Iyengar Yoga Association U.K.The Institute is run by an elected committee of Yoga practitioners. Since our foundation in 1989 we have promoted the knowledge and practice of the Iyengar method of Yoga in this area. We organise Yoga events and courses. The AIYI is part of a national association of institutes and individuals called the "Iyengar Yoga Association U.K."

Yoga is a traditional Indian discipline of great value for people today. As the ancient sages discovered, Yoga is a culture for the whole person through which one can gain and maintain a healthier body and mind.

KonasanaYoga pupils learn through a carefully graded and systematic programme of asana (posture). Pranayama (breath control) is gradually introduced. Yoga practice both relaxes and energizes. It brings vitality, flexibility, strength, concentration, self-confidence and mental calm. Practising Yoga helps you overcome stresses and strains, aches and pains and promotes a firm foundation of health and well being.

Yoga is suitable for all types of people and all levels of fitness.
