At JLYC we are passionate about yoga because we believe that yoga offers tools to improve health, promote mental clarity, and foster emotional well-being and equanimity.
We practice and teach the Iyengar method of yoga, developed by renowned, living yoga master B.K.S. Iyengar of Pune, India. Iyengar Yoga is one of the world's most influential and widely-practiced methods. This method emphasizes correct alignment of all parts of the body within each asana (posture). This precision enables students to achieve maximum benefit. We are honored to be the B.K.S. Iyengar Yoga Center of Portland. This honor was granted to us by Mr. Iyengar himself and we endeavor to uphold his highest standards of teaching.
JLYC offers a range of weekly classes to suit all stages of practice, from beginning through advanced. We invite you to join us, regardless of age or ability. We believe you'll find your experience of yoga to be transformational.
