Testimonial

Both Karena and Liz have been my Iyengar yoga teachers over the past 5 years. It is evident through their teachings that they see yoga as a way of life not merely a hobby or a source of income. They have constantly challenged me with my practice and at the same time cared for me as a person.
Each class is different providing an exceptional variety of Iyengar poses. Both Karena and Liz create a safe environment by thoroughly explaining all poses along with the benefits. They make the precision of Iyengar very pleasurable! They also have the incredible ability to keep an eye on everyone at the same time and tailor poses to individual needs and levels of experience.
As well as weekly classes, my experience with Karena and Liz has also expanded to yoga indulge days and a trip to Cambodia this year –both not to be missed! I strongly recommend both Karena and Liz at the Byron Yoga Lounge – they have been a true inspiration to me and ensured that my healthy addiction to Iyengar yoga continues……

I have been a Yoga student since my early 50’s. I started training under Liz not too long after that and Karena about 7 years ago.  What a journey it has been! I have watched both Karena and Liz go from strength to strength as teachers as they continue to study and train in the Iyengar System – their commitment to the discipline, their study and the school is very inspiring!  After practicing/attending regular classes with their guidance and love for their art – it has inspired me to a higher level in my own life.  Both are compassionate, caring and disciplined top shelf teachers not to mention joyful and fun to be with!  It doesn’t matter what level or age of the student – they will recognise that in an instant and assist as appropriate to help all students who walk through their door.
