Edgar Stringer and Lydia Holmes at MDIY

“After my first class with Marion Kilburn at University I was hooked. I felt so wonderful after class that I decided I wanted to feel like this all the time. The more I practiced the more the transformational nature of the subject unravelled. I feel very fortunate to have spent my life sharing Iyengar Yoga with others.”

Edgar has taught Iyengar Yoga continuously since 1997. In his student years he stayed in India for over 18 months and since then has frequently returned to study yoga at the Iyengar Institute in Pune.

Edgar is an IY UK assessor and qualified trainee’s mentor. He is also Chair of the Avon Iyengar Yoga Group and works in the IY UK Professional Development Committee. Edgar is a beekeeper and also a bicycle enthusiast.

“Since I was a student in Manchester yoga has become as important to me as food or sleep. Yoga practise keeps me healthy in body and mind, I can’t imagine life without it”
