I am drawn to the lyengar Yoga approach, as the discipline and accuracy of the teaching promotes the true meaning of yoga - the yoke or union between mind and body. This means while the body benefits from physical exercise, you also exercise your mind through concentration and awareness.
I like to keep my classes precise with alignment and challenging. I enjoy the holistic approach to the practice and this is what I endeavour to bring to my classes.
