# East West Yoga
East West Yoga is a specialist Iyengar Yoga teaching practice founded by Gerry Chambers and Lynda Purvis, both certified Senior level instructors with IYUK (the UK's governing body for Iyengar Yoga). Based in Exmouth, Devon, Gerry offers regular classes and tuition to students seeking authentic, traditional yoga practice.
The business serves individuals looking to deepen their understanding of yoga as a complete system—encompassing physical postures (asanas), breathing techniques, and philosophical wisdom rather than merely fitness-focused exercise. They attract serious practitioners and beginners alike who value precision, alignment and the classical teachings of BKS Iyengar, one of yoga's most respected modern masters.
What distinguishes East West Yoga is their commitment to the Iyengar method, recognised internationally for its meticulous attention to anatomical alignment and use of props to make yoga accessible to all body types and abilities. Rather than following contemporary fitness trends, they teach in the lineage of BKS Iyengar, drawing on decades of traditional knowledge and philosophical depth. Their credentials as Senior-level IYUK members provide assurance of professional qualification and ongoing commitment to excellence.
The practice reflects the holistic vision expressed in their philosophy—that yoga works with the whole person, integrating body, breath and mind as an interconnected system for genuine wellbeing and self-knowledge.
