Yoga in Somerset: Iyengar Yoga in the Chew Valley

Yoga is a stimulating form of exercise which tones the muscles, strengthens and invigorates the whole system, and thereby relaxes the mind and body.

Nick Long - Iyengar Yoga Teacher

Nick Long is a fully qualified Intermediate level Iyengar Yoga teacher. He has practised Yoga for over thirteen years, which includes four years of Teacher Training at the Iyengar Yoga Institute in London and the Bath Iyengar Yoga Centre. Nick has also studied for a month with the Iyengar family in Pune, India.

He currently offers two weekly classes for regular students.

This term runs from 6th January through to 1st April 2010 (except for half term week beginning 15th February).

All students need to ensure that they have completed a Health Declaration Form to ensure that the teacher takes into account any relevant conditions.

Starting in 2010, I am also offering four week Foundation Courses for beginners in Iyengar Yoga and those who want to revise basic skills. These classes will be limited to five people maximum and will get students up to a level where they can comfortably join the regular weekly classes. I will be flexible about the timing of these classes to suit the students who want them. Cost will be £25 for the four week course. Please contact me if you are interested.

Private tuition is also available.

Students' Comments

"I believe the view of Blagdon Lake combined with the comfort of the room together with Nick's personality all helps to create the perfect environment for Yoga practice. Every class is different with each person working within their own capabilities. Practice can be hard and demanding but always ending with a wonderful sense of achievement resulting for me in greater strength and flexability."
Pam, Nailsea

"A lovely, friendly class. First class instruction from a dedicated follower of yoga. You always leave feeling happier than when you arrived."
Jo, Winscombe

"I joined Nick's yoga class in 2008 to combat stiffening joints and to regain some lost flexibilty, I am happy to say that yoga works for me. The class is fun and the other students are a good crowd."
Dietrich, Ubley (Jan 2010)

"After each class I feel satisfaction and feel as though I have progressed. We work on improving every posture from the foundation but there is also the opportunity to try more advanced variations so it can be as challenging as you want it to be. Nick gives clear instruction and guidance throughout the class. I always look forward to going and his classes have noticeably improved my strength since having a baby a year ago"
Kate, Bishop Sutton

"For me Nicks yoga classes have kept the ageing process at bay. No matter how tired or despondent I might feel before the class afterwards I am so glad I made the effort and commitment. My previously aching body is renewed with vigour and imbued with a sense of calm and peace. Having little willpower to practice on my own I rely very heavily on Nicks class every week."
