What Is Iyengar Yoga?

A Clear, Intelligent Path to Strength and Inner Stability

Iyengar Yoga is a precise, alignment-based system developed by B.K.S. Iyengar, rooted in discipline, clarity, and the intelligent use of the body. It teaches students how to move with awareness, build balanced strength, and develop steady, resilient minds.

My approach to Iyengar Yoga blends this classical method with my own multidisciplinary background—movement artistry, therapeutic insight, and a deep respect for the body’s innate intelligence.

How I Teach Iyengar Yoga

Precision With Purpose
I teach alignment not as rigidity, but as a way of unlocking freedom in the body. Each posture becomes an opportunity to feel, refine, and expand your capacity.

Strong Foundations, Intelligent Growth
I value progressive sequencing that builds strength and clarity from the ground up. Whether you’re new or advanced, every class supports real, measurable growth.

Movement as Mastery
My training as a professional dancer in Havana, Cuba, and my current teaching at Alvin Ailey, the Dance Theatre of Harlem, and Jo-Mé Dance Academy, allow me to bring refined movement principles, rhythm, and fluidity into the Iyengar method without losing its structural integrity.

Anatomy In Real Life
My ongoing mentorship in human cadaveric dissection informs my teaching with grounded, embodied anatomical knowledge. This helps students build strength with safety, precision, and confidence.

Therapeutic Insight
Having been trained by Dr. Lois Steinberg, one of the world’s leading Iyengar authorities, I integrate B.K.S. Iyengar’s medical yoga therapy principles to support healing, stability, and functional movement.
