RetreatsIyengar Yoga with Georgia Marnham
In Georgia’s classes, you will be guided by a Level 3 Iyengar Yoga teacher with more than 25 years of experience. Her teaching is precise, thoughtful and caring, shaped by years of working with students of all ages, backgrounds and levels of practice.
Each day follows a natural rhythm. Morning sessions are active and energising, while evenings focus on pranayama and the restorative side of yoga. Her classes build progressively, with each one flowing from the last to create a complete and connected experience.
Georgia teaches with warmth and compassion, creating an atmosphere where you feel both supported and encouraged. Her ability to guide mixed-level groups means everyone is challenged at the right level, often discovering new strength and space. You'll leave her classes feeling renewed, balanced and deeply energised.

Georgia Marnham
Yoga TeacherGeorgia is a highly qualified Iyengar Yoga teacher with more than 25 years of practice. She has lived and taught in Australia, England, Sri Lanka, South Africa, Brazil and now Portugal, where she is based. She holds Junior Intermediate Level 3 and has studied with senior Iyengar teachers worldwide, including periods of study in Pune with B. K. S. Iyengar, his daughter Geeta and his son Prashant.
Georgia understands the power of yoga to heal. Her teaching has a strong restorative and remedial focus, always meeting the individual needs of each student. The style is clear, calm and quietly encouraging, with alignment at the heart of every class.
At Ulpotha, mornings are active and precise. You will work safely into postures, learn how alignment supports freedom and finish feeling energised rather than strained. Evenings turn to restoration and tailored support, with time to address any personal concerns. Pranayama is included across the week.
Georgia believes the depth of yoga comes from a steady mind and honest self-observation. She brings warmth and humour to the room, and teaches both beginners and general level students. She is also a mother of three and practised throughout each pregnancy.
What you will experience with Georgia:
- Intelligent alignment that makes practice feel stable and spacious
- Restorative and remedial sequencing with thoughtful use of props
- Personalised guidance and practical modifications
- Pranayama to settle the nervous system
