About Eve Holbrook

Eve has been practicing yoga since 1994. Initially drawn to it for relief from chronic back pain following a childhood horseback riding injury, she has grown to view yoga as an exploration of the nature of life and what it is to be a human being; to see ourselves truthfully, discover what is important to us, and weave that insight into the way we live our lives. She strives to communicate the possibility of being effortful without aggression, of embodying the depth our ourselves without strain. 

Eve is certified Iyengar Yoga teacher with 25 years of teaching experience. She is on the faculty of the Iyengar Institute of New York, where she completed the two-year teacher-training program with Mary Dunn from 2003-2005. She now lives in Copenhagen, Denmark, and teaches classes at Yoga ved Søerne (a space for independent Iyengar Yoga teachers). Additionally, Eve teaches online classes and workshops for the Iyengar Institute of New York as well as her own platform, Eve’s Yoga Space. She became a certified Iyengar Yoga teacher in 2006, and currently teaches at Level 2 (Junior Intermediate Two). Eve is also co-owner of Samamkaya Yoga Back Care & Scoliosis Collective, a studio dedicated exclusively to yoga for back care and scoliosis, and founder of The Nerve of Expression, a community project offering yoga to artists with multiple sclerosis.

In June of 2006, Eve traveled to Pune, India to study with BKS Iyengar, his daughter Geeta, his son Prashant. Since then, she has returned three times for extended periods to develop her practice and assist in the medical classes there. In New York, Eve studied extensively with her mentors Mary Dunn and Lara Warren, as well as with Kevin Gardiner, James Murphy, Glenn Ceresoli, and Stephanie Quirk. For many years, she was a contributing teacher in the Specific Needs class at the Iyengar Institute of New York, and is well practiced in Iyengar Yoga therapy as an effective tool to help injuries and other conditions.

Eve is currently immersed in a yearlong study of the Kaivalya Pada of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali with Gitte Bechsgaard.

Eve has a background in the performing arts, and has worked extensively in theatre and film. She also loves to sing and play guitar.
