"George Purvis is a frozen rope of Iyengar purity in this languid world of limp linguini yoga eclecticism."
- The Big Turtle Himself

George’s teaching is characterized by his gentle manner and sense of humor which encourages students of all ages and abilities to achieve excellence and insight. He brings to his teaching 30 years of experience and his exceptional personal practice as well as his study with B.K.S. Iyengar in India. He began his practice of Iyengar Yoga in 1977, received his first certification in 1983 and is currently certified at Senior Intermediate III. He took his first trip to India in 1984 to study with B.K.S. Iyengar.

From 1989 until December 2007, George taught at the Houston Iyengar Studio. George is delighted to be back in Dallas where in 1977 he introduced the Iyengar system to the Dallas community and the State of Texas.
