# Iyengar Yoga House
Iyengar Yoga House is a specialist yoga studio located in St Mary Cray, Orpington, dedicated exclusively to the Iyengar Yoga tradition. They offer structured, alignment-focused yoga classes designed to serve practitioners of all ages and experience levels, from children through to older adults.
The studio caters to complete beginners through to experienced practitioners with a carefully graduated progression system. Their flagship offering is the 4-week Induction Course, held three times annually, which provides a methodical introduction to Iyengar principles. Students then progress to Beginners classes before advancing to more demanding Mixed Ability sessions—typically after one year of regular practice.
What distinguishes Iyengar Yoga House is their strict adherence to the Iyengar method, which emphasises precise alignment, controlled breathing (prānāyāma), and intelligent use of props. This approach makes yoga accessible and therapeutic rather than purely aspirational, particularly benefiting those returning after injury or long breaks.
The studio uniquely serves families with dedicated kids and teen classes, including monthly Sunday sessions during summer and a weekly programme launching in September. They also accommodate those with scheduling constraints through customised one-to-one and small group private sessions.
Their philosophy centres on making yoga practical and sustainable for everyday life, reflected in their inclusive ethos and commitment to quality instruction within a traditional framework.
