About Us

About Iyengar Yoga Sarasota.

Iyengar Yoga Sarasota found its first home at Rosemary Court Yoga Center in 2005. The Schiental family supported our fledging community, providing places for our props, our classes, and our students. Over the years we grew as a community and added certified teachers to increase the number of classes. 

In 2017, we opened a stand-alone studio in one of the historic small buildings on Osprey Avenue. We studied and practiced for 5 years, until the economic consequences of COVID and increased operating costs compelled us to close.

In August 2023, we regrouped! We reconnected with our friends at Rosemary Court Yoga in their new location, continued with online classes using Zoom, and in 2024 opened a 2nd location in Englewood.

Two locations, plus online: one mission - to make Iyengar Yoga accessible and joyful to all bodies.

What is so special about Iyengar Yoga.

Using physical alignment as a starting point, Iyengar Yoga encourages the spread of intelligence throughout the body, the growth of self-awareness, and an experience of the asanas (postures) as “meditation” in action.

Our teachers are Certified Iyengar Yoga Instructors (CIYT), which means we are trained to guide students of all ages and abilities. Clear demonstrations, observation of students, and knowledge of sequencing create classes where students can progress and have fun.

As a student, the Iyengar Yoga Certification Mark is your guarantee of a yoga experience that is safe, suitable for individual physical conditions, and beneficial for both body and mind.
