I've been at Raleigh Yoga Center off and on for about 15 years. I began attending because I was working toward a certification program to teach children's yoga, and the program required some basic Iyengar training and knowledge. The teachers are fantastic, top notch. You will find few other yoga practitioners in the area who have such extensive knowledge of anatomy and the science of yoga. I enjoy classes with Jane and Kirsten. Details to enter poses correctly are emphasized. You will know what you are doing, why you are doing it, and how it will help you. Of course modifications are available and encouraged, as yoga should always offer. Yoga truly is for everyone.

I've been taking yoga with Jane Barrett for 11 years. I look forward to my class every week. Jane is a skilled Iyengar teacher who pushes her students to further their poses, but always maintains a safe environment where students aren't going to get injured. Great find!

I have studied yoga at Raleigh Yoga Center for more than 12 years. I believe every body can benefit from yoga and Raleigh Yoga Center is the best place in town to learn and practice. The studio is warm and personal (and it has two walls of wonderful big windows!), its location in Cameron Village is ideal and it offers classes for every level. The Intro & Fundamentals classes teach the basics that every new yoga student needs. The instruction was incredibly thorough and taught me correct form and how to use props to make even the poses that were challenging at that time, attainable. As I progressed into the more advanced classes, I developed more knowledge, flexibility and strength than I ever imagined possible. Because of my experience at RYC, I plan to study and practice yoga for the rest of my life.
