Cissy has practiced Iyengar yoga since 1981 and became a certified teacher of Iyengar yoga in 1986. Her teaching is committed to the systematic approach set out in Geeta Iyengar's texts – all students are encouraged towards daily practice.
Cissy was taught in person by B.K.S.Iyengar in 1984 when he visited Sunderland. Iyengar’s openness and ease were profoundly striking. Cissy trained to teach in the North East with senior teacher Margaret Austin.
Cissy has spent time in Pune, India, studying under the guidance of the Iyengar's, and she continues to study with senior teachers in UK and Europe. She has taught in Nottingham since 1990, trained ten teachers and was a national assessor for Iyengar Yoga Introductory & Intermediate certifications for 17 years.
