What our students say about the workshops:
"Demelza's yoga teaching style is inclusive, empathic and encouraging" - Colleen
"The spotless and welcoming school is a testament to Mr Iyengar's legacy. Demelza is more than a teacher. She is a model for us all. My retreat in November 2022 was an inspiring and joy filled experience" - Wendy
"I feel calm and peaceful after Demelza's workshop" - Uschi
"I loved the yoga sessions. I so appreciated the way you are able to "breakdown" yoga poses. This helped me understand the poses better and gave me more confidence in my own yoga practice" - Judith
"I learn so much from these workshops! - Michelle
What our groups say about their experience
As part of Mental Health Awareness Week, the team at BB&S had a session with Demelza at Iyengar Yoga focusing on Pranayama - the breathing practice of yoga and active meditation. Everyone really enjoyed the session, including many of whom had never visited a yoga studio before or completed any form of breathing exercise. Demelza began the session by sharing her own personal experience of stress in the corporate workplace that led her to Iyengar Yoga so it was clear she understood what we needed and why. Her clear explanations and guidance helped the team get into the zone. The studio was warm, welcoming and a perfect atmosphere for a fun team event. It’s easy to overlook the impacts of stress on the mental health and well-being of yourself and your team but a session like this where the whole team takes the time to ‘stop and breathe (literally)’ puts the need for it into perspective. I would highly recommend a group well-being session with Demelza at Iyengar Yoga! - Christine BB&S
Personalised to your needs
Dunedin Iyengar Yoga has been great for the wellbeing of staff at the Southern DHB. Demelza’s flexibility to offer weekly in person, Zoom and recorded classes enables accessibility for all staff. Props are provided in the studio and alternative suggestions are given around objects that people can use in the office or at home. Catering for all, Demelza gets to know everyone individually and offers options and support for personal abilities.
Our staff often put our patients before themselves so Demelza’s classes have been a great way for people to put themselves first, step away from work, shift the focus and reset. After yoga everyone goes back to work feeling more energised with a clearer mind. We couldn’t recommend the beautiful Dunedin Iyengar Studio or Demelza’s lovely teaching style more highly - Kaye & Mel Southern DHB
