ABOUT US

ABOUT LBIY

Leeds Bradford Iyengar Yoga is a not-for-profit membership organisation run by volunteers. We bring together students and certified teachers who share an interest in the Iyengar method of yoga.

Founded in 1991 as Bradford & District Iyengar Yoga, the organisation has grown from strong roots in Bradford to connect a wider community across Leeds, Bradford and the surrounding region. We do not have a permanent building; instead, we act as a hub for local classes, teachers, events and shared learning.

OUR PURPOSE

We aim to make authentic Iyengar Yoga easier to find, understand and enjoy.  

Through high-quality teaching and a friendly community, we support yoga as a lifelong practice that can evolve with each individual.

WHAT WE DO

• Help people find certified Iyengar Yoga teachers and classes
• Organise workshops and events with experienced local and visiting teachers
• Support students as they begin, develop and deepen their practice
• Connect teachers and practitioners across our region
• Share news, learning and opportunities through our website, newsletter and social channels
• Represent and promote Iyengar Yoga within our local community

PART OF A WIDER COMMUNITY

We are affiliated with Iyengar Yoga UK, the national association that supports the teaching and practice of Iyengar Yoga across the United Kingdom and Ireland. Through this connection, our members are part of a wider national and international community.
