Iyengar Style Yoga with Sylvia Goff
Iyengar yoga emphasises precision and alignment in the postures. Simple props are used to maximise the opening and awareness of the body, providing support to the less flexible, and extra extension to more advanced student. The props, devised by Mr Iyengar during his lifetime of study, also help sick or disabled people to benefit from the asanas.
At the Iyengar Institute in Pune, many very ill patients are afforded an enhanced quality of life, or even cured, without drugs or invasive surgery.
The teaching of Iyengar yoga is differentiated from other methods by a world-wide, standardised system of instruction. Teaching is oriented towards gradual but steady progress, rather than quick and fleeting results. Over a period of time, Iyengar Yoga becomes an extremely powerful and sophisticated discipline which can be practised to a very advanced age.
Sylvia Goff has been teaching Iyengar style yoga for 20 years and has first hand experience of its therapeutic benefits, overcoming very severe osteoarthritis of the hips without surgery.
Dedicated to her students and the quality of her teaching, she prefers to limit the number of students in her classes so she can really focus on her pupils.
Sylvia may be contacted by phone on 06 877 20 94 or by email.
Please note that these classes, although hosted at the excellent Focus Health facilities in Havelock North, are not provided by Focus Health nor come under its rehabilitation programme.
