Iyengar Yoga Center of Raleigh

Sep 2023

I have been taking yoga classes from Graham since 2010. She is not only highly skilled, but also intuitive, thoughtful, and patient. Iyengar yoga involves utilizing props as needed to achieve proper alignment in the poses. This allows students who may have physical limitations or injuries to realize the benefits of the pose in the body. Since practicing Iyengar yoga, I’ve learned that allowing my body to remain in properly sequenced poses for several minutes with adequate support and alignment is very beneficial. I now have better posture and body awareness which has improved my overall well-being.

Graham is the best yoga instructor I've ever had. I started yoga with her in 2008 due to my scoliosis and back pain, and since then have taken classes in a number of different cities, yet have never had a teacher as kind, dedicated, and caring as Graham. Her instruction is straightforward and engaging. She isn't as harsh as some Iyengar teachers I've had. Since I left Raleigh I really missed her, but with the pandemic I have been able to take her online classes and they're great too! If you're even thinking about signing up for her classes, DO IT! She's the best! Thank you, Graham! <3

I have been practicing yoga under Graham since shortly after she opened her Raleigh practice in 2008. Graham has given me tools for a lifetime. With her step by step gentle reminders, I know I’m entering into and coming out of each pose in the correct way. I hear her voice correcting my posture even when she’s not around. She provides alternate poses depending on the physical challenges I’m facing to help me get the most out of my class and to ensure no harm comes to my body. She is an amazing instructor and no one comes close to the structure and setting she offers. I’m forever grateful.
