Lewes Yoga is a renowned Iyengar Yoga studio located in the picturesque town of Lewes in East Sussex, New Zealand. With a focus on providing information and classes for both experienced practitioners and those new to yoga, Lewes Yoga aims to help individuals find a yoga class that is right for them.
The studio offers a wide range of classes throughout the week, taught by Sallie Sullivan, an experienced and qualified Iyengar Yoga practitioner and teacher. Sallie holds a senior teaching certificate awarded by Iyengar Yoga (UK), ensuring that students receive high-quality instruction.
Classes at Lewes Yoga cater to all levels, from total beginners to experienced practitioners and even teachers. Sallie is also qualified and insured to teach pregnancy and therapy yoga, allowing individuals with specific needs to participate and benefit from the practise.
Sallie's passion for Iyengar Yoga stems from her strong commitment to the ancient school of yoga that BKS Iyengar inherited, reinvented, and brought to fruition. Having started her yoga journey in Lewes back in 1973, Sallie was fortunate to train in the Iyengar method under the guidance of Jenny Deadman, who became her inspiration.
Over the years, Sallie has continued to deepen her understanding and practise of Iyengar Yoga by attending courses with Mr. Iyengar, his daughter Geeta, and other renowned Indian teachers. She has also made numerous visits to the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute in Pune, south India.
In addition to her extensive training, Sallie completed a three-year yoga therapy programme in the UK with Stephanie Quirk from RIMYI. She has also assisted in the Remedial Yoga classes at RIMYI, which qualifies her as a registered Yoga Therapist with the Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council, an official body recognised by the UK.
