About Katrin

What is Iyengar Yoga?

Iyengar yoga is a precise and systematic approach to yoga that emphasizes proper alignment and the use of props to make poses accessible to all bodies.

Through careful attention to detail and mindful practice, Iyengar yoga helps develop strength, flexibility, and inner awareness. It is suitable for all ages and levels of experience.

Whether you are recovering from injury, managing a health condition, or simply seeking a deeper yoga practice, Iyengar yoga offers a thoughtful, grounded path.

What to Expect in Class

My classes are small and intimate—limited to 8 students in the evenings—allowing me to give each person individual attention and ensure your safety and well-being is always my primary concern.

I demonstrate each pose and then guide you into it verbally. When necessary and with your permission, I may offer manual adjustments to help you find better alignment.

Each week, I choose a particular theme or focus on addressing common patterns I have noticed, so the sequence evolves based on what the group needs. This keeps your practice fresh and responsive.

Above all, I aim to create a safe, welcoming, friendly, and supportive environment where you can begin and explore your yoga journey at your own pace.

What Students Say

"Katrin takes extra care to make sure we are all doing our poses correctly so I really feel like I am improving my techniques. As well as feeling well stretched, I always leave feeling a sense of accomplishment for doing a bit more or a bit better than the previous time. There is also a fun sense in the room as we are all pushing ourselves and often doing things we did not think we would be able to do."

"Katrin, I have to say after last night's session I felt something release in my back. I have not felt so good in years. A massive tightness has disappeared!! Thank you so much, it is a great class and I feel safe because I know you are checking us all the time."

"Katrin's yoga helps to calm my mind, realign my posture as well as improve my flexibility and muscle tone. What sets Katrin's yoga apart is her precision in teaching the yoga poses and accommodating individual needs, whilst not impacting on the overall outcome for the whole class."

Alexia H
