The Iyengar Yoga Center of the Lehigh Valley

- 514 3rd Ave 2nd Floor, Bethlehem, PA 18018

Welcome to The Iyengar Yoga Center of the Lehigh Valley, a dedicated space in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where the ancient practice of Iyengar yoga comes to life. In a region bustling with activity, our studio provides a serene and focused environment for individuals seeking a deeper, more intentional yoga practice. We specialize in the Iyengar method, which is globally recognized for its emphasis on precision, alignment, and the use of props to help students of all levels achieve and sustain poses safely. Our approach is not just about physical postures; it's about fostering a profound connection between the body and mind, leading to improved physical health and a greater sense of inner peace. Under the expert guidance of our lead teacher, Holly Walk Kostura, students are encouraged to embark on a journey of self-discovery, strengthening their bodies and quietening their minds. This is not a fast-paced, watered-down version of yoga, but a rich and authentic tradition that honors the spiritual principles at its core.

The Iyengar method is particularly beneficial for those with specific physical needs or limitations. We've seen firsthand how this practice can help individuals find relief from chronic issues, as one of our students shared, "I came in having practiced yoga for many years, yet with chronic low back issues, Holly's guidance has been astute; and with her discerning eye and skills to draw from, I have experienced major relief, gained immense strength, overcame the worst, and moved beyond my greatest expectations!" This is the essence of what we offer: a safe, knowledgeable, and transformative experience. Our commitment to direct, honest feedback, though it can be challenging for some, is an essential part of the learning process that leads to genuine growth. We are fortunate to be a part of the vibrant Bethlehem community, and we are dedicated to providing a high level of integrity and care to all who join us on the mat.
