Who we are
North East London Iyengar Yoga (NELIY) is a not-for-profit organisation whose main aim is to assist and support the development and provision of Iyengar yoga, and to provide a focus for those studying Iyengar yoga in the local area (North and North-East London).
It is a member group of Iyengar Yoga
(UK), which acts as the professional organisation of Iyengar Yoga teachers in
the UK and is also our national association, for anyone interested in Iyengar Yoga.
NELIY is run by a small committee of volunteers - maybe you'd like to join us?
What we do
NELIY runs a programme of workshops (see them here), most of which are open to all levels of experience in yoga. Our planned workshop dates for 2024 can be found on the Events page.
We also arrange activities to support the development of Iyengar Yoga teachers. Recently we hosted a first aid course and an Exchange of Learning Day for teachers and trainees.
We are keen to hear from you about how you'd like NELIY to develop; use the Contact form to send us a message.
