Welcome! I'm Asha.
Pines Iyengar Yoga came into existence in 2017, born out of my desire to share the therapeutic techniques learned from my 15 years of experience, studying and practicing yoga.
My journey began after two car accidents one week apart. They resulted in muscle spasms, multiple prescriptions for pain medication, stress, and intense fatigue. I found yoga after my physiotherapist recommended it as a means of managing the pain.
After a few sessions, I overcame the physical limitations and went on to discover a healthier and more grounded version of myself that had not existed before. There began my passion for the therapeutic applications of yoga that exist to this day.
After over fifteen hundred hours of training and over a decade of client contact, I became a Certified Teacher in the Iyengar Yoga Method (CIYT).
The Iyengar method provides a safe and systematic approach to learning yoga. It was developed by BKS Iyengar, the world's foremost authority on yoga, and is known in the industry for its skillful use of props.
The method works by realigning the body to work at its optimum, thus leading to an overall sense of well-being. In general, it increases strength, stamina, and flexibility and can be used to complement any workout routine.
Very famously, however, it is used in the prevention and management of pain. Reduced backache, reduced knee pain, better breathing, reduced anxiety, and better posture are only some of the benefits often reported. The method ensures that regardless of your age or level of flexibility, the many benefits of yoga will be accessible to you.
