Becky Lloyd is the director of the Audubon Yoga Studio and is a Level 3 Certified Iyengar yoga instructor. Becky founded Audubon Yoga Studio in 2000.
Becky is a dedicated Iyengar yoga practitioner. For 30 years she has been deepening her yoga practice by studying with the Iyengar family at their Institute in Pune, India, as well with Senior Iyengar teachers Rebecca Lerner, Randy Just and Patricia Walden. She was fortunate to have Karin O’Bannon as her mentoring teacher for many years until Karin’s passing in 2013. She and Karin established a vibrant teacher study group in New Orleans for practitioners from all parts of the country. Becky has enjoyed mentoring numerous students throughout the years, many of whom have become Certified Iyengar Yoga Teachers.
Becky playfully balances the precise nature of Iyengar yoga with the wisdom offered in the yoga sutras. She received a BA in music and considers the sequencing of asanas for each class much like a composition in which the body and mind are taken through stages of movement and stability with the goal of connecting with our Divine nature. She calls this approach ‘Divine Play’. She is passionate about providing a safe and accessible space for everyone at any stage in their life, regardless of ability or previous experience.
Becky finds joy and inspiration in nature while traveling, camping, and bird watching. She has been an active volunteer with Audubon Louisiana working with shorebird surveys and the Prothonotary Warbler Nest Box Projects in Jean Lafitte. New Orleans has been her home since 1987.
