Real Yoga for Real People
ABOUT US
Demelza Campbell is the principal teacher and founder of Iyengar Yoga Dunedin.
Her yoga journey started in Palmerston North after having several surgeries. At the time she had a stressful corporate job with large responsibilities. Yoga was a form of healing post surgeries.
Having never forgotten what it was like to be a raw beginner with an inherently stiff body that did not move, she has great compassion for those starting out on their yoga journey.
A fortuitous meeting with Kelly Sobanski pre-pandemic led to Demelza working with both Kelly and Lois Steinberg (both in the USA) as her teachers. This has deepened Demelza's practice and teaching and allowed her skill and knowledge to flourish.
Demelza has been selected for the past 2 years in Lois' International Therapy Intensive as a teacher working with students who have significant physical and medical issues in their bodies.
Demelza is the only Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher in Dunedin having passed International level exams to become certified.
Demelza has studied with the Iyengar family at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute (RIMYI) in Pune, India.
She is a member of the New Zealand Iyengar Yoga Association
and the Iyengar Yoga National Association of The United States.
Classes are taught with compassion, encouragement and are inclusive and supportive.

IYENGAR YOGA
BKS Iyengar, the world’s foremost master of the art developed an innovative approach to classical Hatha yoga by introducing props. Props allow students to work safely, at their body’s ability. They provide support and allow the benefits of the asana (pose) to be experienced regardless of any physical restriction. Iyengar Yoga is for every
body irrespective of age, condition or flexibility.
The Iyengar name is a trademark of the Iyengar family and only certified Iyengar teachers are entitled to use it. The study and training to become a teacher is rigorous, spans several years and includes passing International exams. Demelza is the only certified Iyengar teacher in Dunedin.
