Welcome to Oxford and Region Iyengar Yoga

“Words cannot convey the value of yoga – it has to be experienced.”
BKS Iyengar

“I would like to practise yoga till my last breath, as a humble service to yoga. My only wish is to prostrate before God, surrendering my last breath in a yogic posture.” 
BKS Iyengar.

About Us

ORIY is dedicated to promoting the understanding and practice of Iyengar Yoga in Oxfordshire, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire.

We organise a number of workshops each year as well as providing information about the teachers who run classes in our region.

All teachers listed on this site are fully trained and qualified in the Iyengar method of yoga. They can use the name IYENGAR® which is a world wide trade mark, and display the Iyengar Yoga Certification Mark Logo. This is a mark of the quality of their training and teaching.
