Iyengar Yoga with Kitty Franklin

Week of August 17, 2024

Iyengar Yoga is a form of hatha yoga developed by BKS Iyengar who is largely responsible for bringing yoga to the West.  In each session, you will be guided through a sequence of poses designed to increase freedom, strength, flexibility and relaxation. The practice is progressive, aimed to yoke the body, mind and spirit together while giving the experience of intense relaxation and well-being. The benefits of Iyengar Yoga are far-reaching and will assist the practitioner in every aspect of daily life.

With Iyengar Yoga’s focus on technique and alignment, she realized that she had found “the ballet of yoga,” and was instantly hooked. Kitty completed a three-year Iyengar Teacher Training course in 1999 and became certified in 2004. She teaches regularly at the Iyengar Yoga Center of San Diego and has studied with the Iyengars multiple times both in India and the U.S. Kitty believes in yoga as a means to obtain balance in the body, the mind and ultimately life.
