BIOGRAPHY:

Margaret is a Senior level III  Iyengar Yoga teacher, and has been  teaching since 1979. She has visited the Iyengar Yoga Institute in Pune, India many times and was privileged to have been  taught by BKS Iyengar himself, since the late seventies, in England, Europe and U.S.A, and from 1981 at the institute in Pune;   and latterly taught by  his daughter, Geeta, and his son, Prashant;  and now his granddaughter Abhi—who has taken up the mantle from her revered grandfather much more since his death at age 95.   And since the sad death of Geeta Iyengar   Margaret has also studied  remedial yoga with Stephanie Quirke (who has worked directly with the Iyengars in Pune for many years).

Margaret has developed, over the years, through her experience in Yoga, pranayama,  meditation and Chinese Medicine, a complete practice in order to reach a deeper spiritual awareness   It is a lifetime’s learning process and is a very exciting and stimulating journey.  Margaret has boundless love and passion for her practice and her teaching and finds it very rewarding to help her pupils discover a deeper level of Yogic awareness.  She has boundless compassion for finding ways to practice with difficulties or injuries.

Margaret teaches weekly classes and  one-to-one sessions  locally in Cookham,  Maidenhead and Marlow; monthly Sunday morning workshops (now on Zoom) for intermediate students to further their practice; weekend and one day workshops in England and Ireland; and also, several times a year she runs Yoga holidays  –  in Crete, Spain,  Italy, Turkey, Canaries, and  Kerala, India, and other locations; as well as guest teaching mainly in Europe and the U.S.A.
