🌿 IYCE CELEBRATION WORKSHOP – 30 YEARS! 🌿

📅 Saturday 15th November 2025
📍 Highwood Village Hall, Loves Green, Highwood, CM1 3QG

Join us for the final 30th Anniversary Celebration of the Iyengar Yoga Centre for Essex (IYCE) — a free event open to all practitioners!

✨ The day includes:
🧘‍♂️ Yoga Workshop with Paul Brown – 9:45–11:45
🪷 Talk by Susan Long – 11:45–12:45
💬 Q&A with a panel of Level 3 Teachers
☕ Refreshments – 12:45–14:00

In February 1995, a small group of Iyengar Yoga practitioners met at Susan Long’s home to discuss how to develop Iyengar Yoga in Essex. From that gathering, the Iyengar Yoga Centre for Essex (IYCE) was born — and 30 years later, we’re celebrating how far it’s come!

About Paul Brown:
Paul is a much-loved Level 3 Iyengar Yoga teacher — one of the first to be trained in Essex. Over the years, he’s refined his practice and teaching and now leads several popular classes across the county.

🎟️ This event is FREE, but booking is essential as places are limited.
Bookings will be taken on a first come, first served basis.

If you have a question you’d like to ask our teacher panel, please include it when you book!
