A level 3 teacher who has been teaching since 2002, she is also co founder of Yogapushpanjali, the Iyengar yoga family camp based in Sussex.

  • Biba Tiana

    Biba discovered Iyengar yoga two years ago after 30 years of regular yoga. Her practice enables her to inhabit body and mind with a better sense of inner and outer space and this helps when her job involves a lot of sitting around at the computer! She find being a member of the IYS committee is grounding and enjoys building a like-minded community, life-changing and inclusive for all.
