Iyengar
With Larisa
This style emphasises alignment and safety within the practice. Yoga postures are held for longer, allowing tight muscles to lengthen and relax, and helping to focus awareness. Yoga props such as blankets, blocks and straps are used.
Abut Larisa

After a period of time she developed problems with her joints and spine which led to her leaving sports as well as all professional athletics. Larisa started to search for a way to address her physical issues, and went on to study classical massage and started to practice yoga. In 2003 she discovered Iyengar Yoga. Studying for three years she completed a three-year Iyengar Yoga training program for yoga teachers with the Iyengar Yoga Russian Association. In addition to leading Russian teachers, she has attended seminars and conferences in Russia and India held by B.K.S.Iyengar, Geeta Iyengar and Gabriella Giubilaro

“…Sri is the name given to the divine feminine that manifests in so many forms around this wonderful universe. It is believed in the Vedic tradition that Sri is indeed the power that creates, nourishes, protects, heals and eventually liberates. She also expresses herself as energy and pervades through every being, bringing light and life, knowledge and illumination, purity and sacredness. She is also half of the universal polarity principle and is the connecting force through which the two unite as one, transcending the domains of matter and consciousness….”
