Edgar Stringer
This weekend, we’re looking forward to welcoming Edgar Stringer to Bournemouth, for a workshop at the Queen’s Hotel. This replaces our workshop with Judith Jones, who unfortunately had to cancel at the last minute. We hope we’ll be able to welcome Judith back again in the future, but we expect Edgar to provide an excellent workshop in her stead!
Edgar teaches Iyengar Yoga in the South West region and runs ‘Yogatree’ studio in Corsham with his wife Lydia Holmes. He also holds classes in Bristol and workshops around the UK and abroad. Edgar started learning Yoga in Manchester in 1991 and is a qualified Senior Level 3 teacher. He visits Pune regularly to study in the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute. Edgar’s enthusiasm for Yoga is reflected in his classes, which are lively, focused and engaging.
