Babs Lehner-Platts, founder of isvarayoga, has been involved
in teaching fitness and dance from an early age and it eventually
became her career. After traveling the world as a professional
dancer for a few years, she qualified in teaching Aerobics, Dance
and lots of other types of fitness classes. She also successfully completed a 2-year course by the University of Surrey and earned her ‘Certificate of Education’ with Distinction. After becoming certified in Power ChiYoga with Ian Fox and Fitness Yoga with Rachael Holmes, Babs began to develop her very own unique and personal teaching style. Her inspiration comes from international teachers, such as Shiva Rea, Mohini Chatlani, Seane Corne, Howard Napper and David Svenson and her ongoing studies include different practices of yoga, from Kundalini to Vinyasa Flow, Hatha to Ashtanga and meditation. After in-depth studies and earning her Birthlight Diploma in Pre-and Postnatal Yoga, Babs then expanded into teaching Pregnancy Yoga and classes for Mums and their babies. In collaboration with a highly qualified and experienced midwife, isvarayoga also offers birth preparation courses as well as one-to-one sessions.
Babs is constantly widening her experience by attending workshops and always strives to keep up-to-date with the latest developments in Yoga and Fitness Science. Her most recent involvement is teaching Yoga Therapy at a rehabilitation centre for people suffering from various addictions, which has truly helped her grow as an intuitive and sympathetic Yoga instructor. Babs also organizes holistic workshops and fitness holidays in Europe (currently Germany, Spain, soon also Morocco and Egypt). Babs’ vision is to increase the isvarayoga class schedule
by working in collaboration with other Yoga instructors and to
produce her own Power Yoga DVD. MISSION STATEMENT
We place great emphasis on clear lesson structure with a strategic, but personal approach that makes our classes accessible to everyone, regardless of age, sex, experience, or background. We strive to effectively adapt the practices to individual needs and are committed to provide detailed all-level instruction of the practice of yoga in a safe, encouraging atmosphere.

While
keeping classes very diverse and a lot of fun, Babs encourages
every student to remain mindfully focused toward internal exploration
as a guide to experiencing yoga as it is meant to be practiced
– as a union of body and mind. Her clients’ ages range
from babies of 6 weeks to 80 years and require extremely flexible
teaching skills and a very comprehensive subject knowledge. 
ISVARAYOGA
