Ours is a friendly and supportive Centre where our teachers guide you in your practice whether you are new to Iyengar Yoga or have practiced elsewhere.
The Iyengar Yoga Centre of Auckland was first established in 1994 by our Principal and Director Monica Haar, Cert. Junior Advanced 2 Teacher. Our teachers are trained in accordance with BKS Iyengar’s teachings, and most hold or are working towards obtaining the Internationally recognised certification Mark
