What Makes Us Different
This Isn't Your Typical Yoga Class
If you've tried other yoga and felt lost in a crowded room, or worried you weren't "flexible enough," or wondered if yoga could actually help with how you feel day-to-day—you're in the right place.
Here's what Providence students love:
✓ Clear, step-by-step instruction so you always know what to do
✓ Props that make poses accessible for every body and ability
✓ Small classes with personal attention (teachers actually see YOU)
✓ Two beginner tracks: Foundations (all ages) or Foundations 55+
✓ Certified Iyengar teachers with years of training and expertise
✓ Real results: More energy, less pain, genuine confidence
We're not about perfect poses. We're about helping you move with ease, feel calmer, and gain lasting confidence in your body—whether you're 25 or 75, flexible or stiff, experienced or brand new.
Our Unique Rope Wall
We're home to Providence's Iyengar rope wall—a specialized tool that lets you experience poses with support and traction you simply can't get any other way. It's transformative for:
Building back strength safely
Understanding shoulder alignment
Lengthening the spine without compression
Exploring inversions with confidence
Students travel from across Rhode Island just to practice on our rope wall. It's one of the unique offerings that makes our studio truly special.

What Providence Students Are Saying
"I've tried other yoga studios in Providence, but Iyengar Yoga Source is different. The teachers really take time to help you understand what you're doing. I've learned more in 3 months here than in years elsewhere."
— Sarah M., College Hill
"As someone over 60 who thought I was 'too stiff' for yoga, the Foundations 55+ class has been life-changing. I can move better, sleep better, and actually feel confident in my body again."
— Robert T., East Side
"The location is so convenient—I walk over from my office downtown after work. The small class sizes mean the teacher actually knows my name and helps with my specific issues."
— Jennifer L., Downtown Providence

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be flexible?
Absolutely not! Yoga is how you become more flexible. Our teachers work with bodies of all shapes, sizes, ages, and abilities. We use props to make poses accessible for everyone.
I have back pain / shoulder issues / [injury]. Can I still practice?
Yes! Many students come to us specifically for therapeutic work. Our certified teachers are trained to modify poses for injuries and help you build strength safely. Please let your teacher know about any concerns before class.
What's the difference between Iyengar and other yoga?
Iyengar Yoga emphasizes precision, alignment, and the use of props. Classes are slower-paced with detailed instruction—you actually understand what you're doing and why. It's less about flow and sweat, more about building lasting strength, flexibility, and body awareness.
How do I choose the right class?
Start with Foundations if you're new to Iyengar Yoga (any age and fitness level). If you're 55+, our Foundations 55+ class moves at a gentler pace. Not sure? Contact us—we're happy to help you find the perfect fit.
Is there parking near the studio?
Yes! We have a shared parking lot with Ogie's Restaurant. There's also free street parking after 6 PM and on weekends, plus the Hospital Trust Garage nearby.
Can I take classes online if I can't get to Providence?
Absolutely! Our livestream classes let you practice with us from anywhere in real-time. You'll still get the personal attention and community connection, just from your own home.
