Changes at the Institute

The last day of public classes at our 3rd Street location is July 25. When we re-open at La Cienega Plaza, our class prices are going up. Not a lot, but enough to permit IYILA to continue offering the same high-quality instruction by Los Angeles’ best certified Iyengar teachers, in Los Angeles’ newest yoga facility.

However, if you are a currently enrolled student at IYILA you can take advantage now of a great savings on class prices before the move:

Between July 4 and July 25, any currently enrolled IYILA student may purchase a one month unlimited pass to begin in the month of August for $140. (a 20% discount from the current price), or a 1 year unlimited pass at $1050 (a 30% discount from the current price). (If you currently have a one month unlimited pass, your new discounted pass would begin the next day in August after your current one expires.)

Manouso Manos

Weekend Workshop - August 1, 2 and 3

Please join us for our new Institute inaugural celebration throughout this weekend!

Manouso is one of the most capable and experienced of the Senior Iyengar Yoga Teachers.

He began his studies with Sri B.K.S. Iyengar in 1976, and served as chairperson of the First International Iyengar Yoga Convention in 1984. After numerous trips to Pune, India and over 25 years of personal practice, his understanding of and insights into Iyengar yoga are conveyed with authenticity and precision.

Methodical in his teaching, Manouso lays a solid foundation and progressively refines each of the asanas. His sense of humor and sensitivity shine through as his dynamic and challenging teaching style moves his students beyond their perceived limits.

NOTE: The location for this will be at our new La Cienega Plaza location.

Friday (All levels) 6 - 8pm
Saturday (All levels) 9 - 11am
Saturday (All levels) 12 - 2pm

PARKING AT IYILA

PLEASE RESPECT OUR NEIGHBORS RIGHTS BY NOT PARKING IN THEIR RESTRICTED PARKING SPACES. YOUR CAR WILL BE TOWED!

Parking behind the Institute is limited for every business sharing our lot, please respect their needs and the law by not parking in unauthorized spaces. Our neighbors have the right to tow your car and due to unintentional recent parking infringements by some of our students, they have informed us that they will excercise that right should your car infringe on the ability for them to conduct business. We understand this is frustrating, it affects all of us. There is ample 2hr. parking at most times on Sweetzer, south of 3rd. as well as other neighboring streets. We have a map detailing the various restrictions to help you. Please download the map and try to find alternative and legal parking when the spaces behind the Institute are full.

Welcome. . .

Let the goal be to reach Perfection, but be content with a little progress toward perfection every day.
- B.K.S. Iyengar in Light on Life

Welcome to the B.K.S. Iyengar Yoga Institute of Los Angeles (IYILA) website.

We have put together a PDF Welcome Kit that has the basic information we think you need to get acquainted with Iyengar Yoga as well as a parking map (Here we are on MapQuest).

Our entrance is in the back alley off of Harper. We have limited parking there, but once you‘re familiar with the neighborhood you’ll find there is really no problem parking a couple of blocks away.

Please check back often for schedules, updates, workshop flyers and all kinds of interesting stuff about Iyengar Yoga in Southern California.
