Manchester and District Iyengar Yoga (MDIY) based in Dukinfield is the oldest and one of the largest Iyengar yoga organisations in the UK. They provide a wide range of opportunities for students to practise and develop their understanding of yoga and we are committed to spreading an awareness of the benefits of Iyengar yoga to as many people as possible. MDIY was established in 1972 and has been running classes in and around Manchester for over 40 years.
The organisation came about through the dedication of a group of Manchester-based yoga enthusiasts who, over forty years ago, saw the potential of the Iyengar method and thus formed the MDIY. These early pioneers included Jeanne Maslen, Tricia Booth and Pen Reed who, along with many other supporters and volunteers and our president, Yogacharya Sri B.K.S. Iyengar himself, built the organisation and our centre into what it is today. We have three beautiful, fully-equipped studios, named in honour of Jeanne Maslen (Maslen Hall), Tricia Booth (Booth Hall) and Pen Reed (Reed Studio) to show our appreciation of their inspiration, commitment and hard work on behalf of MDIY over many years.
