The word ‘iam’ comes from the greek word iam meaning ‘to be present’ which is deeply rooted in the style and practice of our teachings, encouraging students away from the ‘autopilot’ style of movement and thought. We recognize that people have many reasons for starting to do yoga that range from those that are purely physical to emotional or spiritual motivations – We think that every reason is just as good as any other. We do not project traditional ‘ideas’ around the meaning of ‘yoga’ onto our students or in our classes. Our instructors guide students and assist with adjustments to make each posture, breath, and action as effective as possible for the mind and the body – encouraging each individual to seek out their own definition of what ‘yoga’ should mean for them.
