# Yoga with Bernadette
Yoga with Bernadette is an Iyengar yoga studio located in Croydon, offering classes both on-site at Friends Meeting House and via live online sessions through Zoom. Founded by Bernadette, a qualified Iyengar yoga instructor since 2002, the business serves the local community and beyond with a person-centred approach to yoga practice.
The studio specialises in Iyengar yoga, a method developed by BKS Iyengar that emphasises precise body alignment and the use of props such as belts, blocks, blankets and bolsters. This approach makes yoga accessible to people of all abilities and experience levels, regardless of existing flexibility. Classes are structured progressively, building a stable foundation before introducing more demanding postures.
What sets Yoga with Bernadette apart is its inclusive philosophy. Bernadette believes yoga is for everyone and actively encourages newcomers to contact her before attending their first class. Rather than pushing practitioners into advanced positions, the studio prioritises working at individual pace and finding a safe, effective range of motion for each person. This thoughtful approach extends to the class structure, which combines varied postures with guided relaxation, helping students connect body, breath and mind whilst managing everyday stress.
The business offers both regular weekly classes and private sessions, catering to different needs and preferences. With nearly two decades of teaching experience in the Croydon area, Bernadette has built a reputation for accessible, evidence-based yoga instruction that genuinely improves flexibility, strength, stamina and balance.
