Iyengar Yoga with Kirsty Richardson Reps

Kirsty started yoga at the age of 14, and it has been a consistent part of her life ever since, although at this young age her understanding of the practice was limited but she still found herself drawn to it.  After she finished her BA in English, she was lucky enough to discover a fantastic teacher locally in Cornwall who helped her on her path of teaching yoga and who has been her mentor, teacher trainer and inspiration ever since.  She started her teacher training and it was a work of determination and endurance ( all part of the practice ) but it also became her love and passion.  She qualified as an Iyengar yoga teacher in 2012 after initially training for 7 years.  She has been a yoga teacher and practitioner of yoga through two pregnancies, a natural birth and Caesarean, and now also teaches pregnancyyoga.

Kirsty has been fortunate enough to be taught directly under Prashant Iyengar, Geeta Iyengar, and Abhijata Iyengar as well as many other worldwide senior Iyengar teachers. She has attended the institute in Pune India several times (The Iyengars home and institute) as well as Iyengar institutes all over the world, from Italy to New York.  As well as being taught under many brilliant senior teachers here in the UK.

Iyengar Yoga can leave you feeling physically energized, invigorated, and balanced. The practice emphasizes the alignment of the body, stretching and strengthening the muscles, and improving flexibility. As you become more present and centred during the practice, your mind may experience a sense of stillness, free from the constant chatter and distractions of daily life.

Iyengar Yoga provides a space for self-reflection and introspection.  Through the practice, you may become more aware of your emotions and sensations within your body.
