My Story

Our story is once again my story, I am Julie Anderson, Senior Teacher at Yoga on Tay,  and I love Iyengar Yoga!

​

With 40+ years experience as an Iyengar yoga practitioner I aim to inspire and encourage students to excel in their practice of yoga through sharing my enthusiasm and knowledge, as well as creating unique, safe spaces in the community for practice. I like to introduce a sense of 'serious' fun through the asanas (poses) while generating an eagerness to learn - adding layers of understanding for our students over time to guide them in realising their full potential. ​​​

 

My yoga story actually began before that when I was 15 and attended 'other' yoga with my Mum and sister when I instantly got the yoga-bug. Age 19 I found Iyengar yoga and since then I have never looked back. Feeling totally fulfilled by Iyengar yoga led me to train obver many years: first as an Introductory teacher, then Intermediate and finally Senior. By this time I was also assessing and teacher training for IY(UK) the professional body that regulates our rigorously high teaching standards. 

​

For many years I taught in local venues in The Scottish Borders before it became our story when I moved to Fife and ran a bespoke yoga school with my partner, Marieke in Newport on Tay called Yoga on Tay and now I continue with this name and enjoy teaching in local venues once again.
