There are a number of Iyengar teachers in Leeds that run classes like this. I first came across Iyengar yoga at university and when this class stopped the teacher pointed me in the direction of a church hall in Headingley, St Michael's. 2 teachers run classes here, on a Monday and Wednesday evening for beginners and intermediates. If you have done yoga before but not Iyengar Yoga it is best to go to a beginners class first as it is quite different from other styles. It is not only for total beginners class as everyone works to their own level, so complete beginners are welcome. It is really good value for the high standard of teaching you receive, only £5.50 for an hour and a quarter. You can find classes by the same teachers in Meanwood, all on a drop-in basis.

The teacher is very welcoming and makes you feel like you fit in, so that you can focus on getting the most out of the exercises. The other people who go are really friendly too, and there is a general feeling from everybody that you are doing something that is good for you. I would say its definitely worth giving this a go if you are thinking about it.

Leeds is a pretty starved of actual yoga studios but The Yoga Space is its saving grace. From the…read moreinside you would never know it was situated on a busy main road, a short bus journey away from the centre of town or Headingley. The building is a beautiful old church acting as the perfect space for saluting the sun. If you're into Ashtanga yoga, this is the place for you as the majority of classes here are Ashtanga-based - some of them are termed Vinyasa-flow, Mysore style or dynamic Hatha classes. They offer a range of classes. Absolute beginners can take one class a week for 6 weeks whilst anyone else with some experience can drop into improvers or intermediate classes. If you have been doing yoga for a while but not the Ashtanga style, don't be shy about joining a beginners class as the practice is dynamic, strong and assumes you have previous knowledge of the poses and the series. Classes are cheaper if you book in blocks, which can be used over several months and students can take hour or hour and a half classes for £5/6. It is more expensive to take the occasional drop-in class compared to the usual yoga sessions at a gym or community centre in Leeds, but you get the quality you pay for. The unique thing about this place is that they offer a self-practice session from 6.30-9.30am every weekday with Joey, who will guide you through the series, no matter what stage you are at in your practice. I cannot recommend this guy highly enough as his classes and enthusiasm (especially to get you to that 6.30am practice) is not matched by many other Ashtanga teachers in the area. And don't worry; you can always turn up at 8am! This is predominantly a space for yoga but they also offer break-dancing classes, Tai Chi, Tai massage and extend to postnatal yoga, family yoga and regularly run the kind of one-off workshops that cannot be found elsewhere in Leeds.

I attended classes at the yoga space for just over a year and have finally decided that no matter…read morewhat the yoga is like, I will not be duped and tricked over the prices any more. In one year I experienced: 12 session and 6 session passes mysteriously 'expire' with no warning. I turn up for sessions only to find they have been swapped for something else and the teacher then pretends that you have made a mistake. Classes are changed for something else which costs more and you are expected to pay the extra. A generally bad vibe. I don't think I am the only one to experience this feeling of being duped by a particular person at the Yoga space. Also it is freezing in autumn to spring! I have rarely left bad comments for anyone or anything but I am so annoyed and feel that I cannot be the only person to feel like this. Isn't yoga supposed to be about treating other people with respect?
