Welcome to Iriness, home of Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga and wellbeing in the charming West Sussex town of Horsham. The name was devised by Patrick, the husband of our founder and yoga teacher Irina Pashkevich Bourdier. Victoria House, the home of Iriness, was envisioned and built by Irina and Patrick in 2016-2017.
The studio was created for yoga and holistic wellbeing. Benefiting from a wooden floor, underfloor heating, and air-conditioning, it provides a cozy atmosphere, full of light and warmth. We're so happy to welcome you to our intimate space for "peaceful miracles". We offer empowering tools to nurture all aspects of your being.

I couldn't recommend Iriness wellbeing studio more highly. I feel that the way Irina shares her deep understanding, experience and technical knowledge of all aspects of yoga makes her classes ideal for complete beginners and more advanced yogis. The studio is a wonderful bespoke space; welcoming, safe, and never intimidating, as some places can be to those new to yoga (the under floor heating makes shavasina incredible too!)

If you want a lesson which provides you with a greater understanding of yoga and strengthens you both mentally and physically then look no further. Irina is by far the best teacher I have ever experienced with her close attention to detail and extensive knowledge. I guarantee you will receive a warm welcome. Highly recommend.

If you are looking for an authentic yoga space, you should go to Iriness. Irina’s style of teaching is from her own enquiry over all limbs of yoga with great sense of humour and precise explanations, and she always gives us a signpost of our yoga journey. I recently completed her Pranayama & Meditation course which was full of knowledge and exercises which I looked forward to every week, and that is what a real yoga teacher can do - she gently wakes up the yearning heart for an adventure which each one of us carries deep within.

I have been with Irina since before Christmas. I have MS and obviously was very anxious about attending a new class and whether I would even be able to do yoga at all! I needn’t have worried, Irina has been beyond supportive and has put together an individual programme just for me where she has adapted moves to allow me to feel confident!! I am so thrilled with my new “family” at Iriness. Five stars are just now enough for with wonderful practice or teacher x

Iriness studio is a warm, welcoming purpose built space in which to practice Ashtanga. The experienced instructor Irina teaches with warmth and compassion. Every student is unique and it is the individual attention which makes the Ashtanga journey special here. I always leave with a new nugget of information about myself!
Thank you for sharing your passion Irina!

I've had the pleasure of attending Irina's classes for two months now and I'd recommend it to anyone interested in improving their overall well-being. Irina is a great teacher and she gives everyone the attention they need.The atmosphere of the classes is wonderful and I usually leave calm and energised. :)

Wow! What a difference 4 weeks can make :-) I joined the beginners yoga course at Iriness having done some yoga previously, but I can certainly say its already changing my life. I have mild scoliosis and have suffered with back issues for many years. Having done just 4 weeks of Ashtanga Vinyasa yoga with Irina, my physiotherapist remarked on how strong I had become especially on my weaker side. Irina really cares for all her students and its a joy to attend Iriness. Irina is building a fantastic yoga community in our town and it's infectious! Her warmth, kindness, fun and passion are with her in

I’ve just completed the beginners yoga course and it’s been the best thing I’ve ever done! Irina is such an amazing yoga teacher and person, her love for yoga and passion for her students goes beyond anything. I can’t wait to continue my yoga journey with Irina and see Iriness yoga & wellbeing flourish.

The beginners class is an excellent way to learn Ashtanga yoga. I have learned more in a few weeks than I thought possible. Excellent tuition in a supportive atmosphere. The 'mixed ability' (Mysore) class format is also great as beginners can attend and be guided to progress at their own level in a no pressure environment.
