A method of yoga for ALL, Shane teaches in the tradition of B.K.S. Iyengar.
"The world is filled with movement. What the world needs is more conscious movement, more action." — B.K.S. IYENGAR
Shane Phillips, originally from the U.S., has devoted nearly two decades to the daily practice of Iyengar Yoga. His path was shaped by deep familial ties and an immersive training experience guided by mentors who accelerated his growth. Studying under the Iyengar family of senior teachers in Los Angeles, he continues to refine his practice with them and other senior international teachers.
Since moving to Paris in 2022, Shane has cultivated a thriving community across multiple studios. Teaching in English—honoring the Iyengar tradition within a French setting—he offers a space where longtime students and newcomers practice side by side. Many have followed his teaching for years, while others quickly find themselves at home in this evolving network.
With a focus on precision, consistency, and self-awareness, Shane empowers students to build confidence and deepen their connection to the practice.
Shane offers personalized private yoga sessions, in addition to his studio classes, tailored to meet your unique needs. Whether you're new to yoga or looking to deepen your practice, these one-on-one sessions provide focused guidance and flexibility. Available at home, online, or at your workplace, these sessions go beyond the studio, offering a practice designed to fit your lifestyle.
Steeped in the Iyengar Tradition
Iyengar Yoga, based on the ancient art and science of Hatha Yoga, combines postures, breath awareness, and moving meditation to unify body, mind, and breath. This practice promotes profound benefits, fostering inner harmony, strength, and well-being.
As a seasoned practitioner with deep respect for B.K.S. Iyengar’s teachings, Shane guides students with an emphasis on alignment, mindfulness, and strength, helping them develop mental clarity and tap into yoga’s transformative potential.
Iyengar Yoga offers lasting benefits for all levels:
• Stress relief and tension reduction
• Sharpened focus and mental clarity
• Improved posture and alignment
• Increased strength, flexibility, and vitality
• Better sleep and overall well-being
"Through cultivation of friendliness, compassion, joy and indifference to pleasure and pain, virtue and vice respectively, the consciousness becomes favorably disposed, serene and benevolent." — PATANAJALI
Founded by Guruji B.K.S. Iyengar, this practice combines precise alignment, breath awareness, and props to turn movement into active meditation. Rooted in the eight limbs of yoga from the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, Iyengar Yoga has shaped modern yoga worldwide.

Shane’s teaching deepens this tradition with Restorative Yoga, promoting relaxation with props, and Ropes Yoga, enhancing alignment by working with the body’s natural support. Both methods complement a focus on mindfulness and strength, helping students refine their practice.
For more information on these methods, see the Deepening Your Practice section. Shane offers these transformative practices in his public classes several days a week.
