No one is too stiff, too out of shape, or too old to begin Iyengar yoga. You are welcome here regardless of your fitness level, age or abilities. We will help you find the right teacher and the right path for you.

News from Our Studio
We are unable to safely open our studio doors at this time.
All classes continue online for the Winter Quarter.
The response to our October plea for students was overwhelming! Thank you all so much! We surpassed our $5000 goal for that month. That is our break-even, pay-all-our-bills, number. Attendance dropped in November and December. So please sign up for classes. We need your ongoing support and participation. We so look forward to the day when we can be in the studio, together, in person!!!!

IYIP Classes
Our classes have three focus areas:
Beginner to advanced yoga practice
Yoga therapy and rehabilitation
IYIP classes run in 12-week sessions with a short break between quarters. Most classes build sequentially throughout the quarter, but you are welcome to begin or drop in at any point.
You can pre-register and pay for classes using IYIP’s Namastream Website or pay at class time with cash or check made out to Iyengar Yoga Institute of Pittsburgh (IYIP). No need to call ahead; just come a few minutes early for your first class to meet your teacher and fill out our New Student Registration form.
