Private Class Sessions with Richard
Want some Special Help?
Private Sessions (Appointments) for 1-2 persons can help immensely in getting off to the right start with Iyengar Yoga, with getting help with a challenge that can't be addressed in a group class. As good as group Iyengar Yoga Classes are, sometimes we all need specialized sometimes more intricate uses of props, sequences, and stages that are not taught in a group class.

Authentic Yoga, Not Trendy Yoga
Authentic Iyengar yoga doesn't keep the room artificially heated to sauna like temperatures; we keep it comfortable. We don't play music when we teach; you should hear the valuable things your teacher says, be calm & quiet within, and hear your breath. We don't need to be more overstimulated than we already are in modern life. We don't blend in weight lifting; Iyengar yoga develops useful strength & good body tone. Yoga correctly done is enough to offer immense benefits for your mind & body.
Classes For Everyone!
The Center is known as a remarkably welcoming place: for the brand new beginner, for the student who has tried and practiced other methods of yoga but is looking for more, as well as for the dedicated student looking for more expert feedback and guidance for their practice.
We Have Decades of Teaching History in the Seattle Area Since 1980
Richard Schachtel is one of the most highly trained and experienced yoga teachers in the Northwestern United States. He has assembled a group of talented, inspiring and relatable teachers to form his staff. The Center's teachers are all serious students of yoga who practice what they teach! Many have trained with Richard in his weekly classes or his teacher training courses, and have personally apprenticed with him.
