The Daley Practice
At the Daley Practice we teach you yoga in the tradition of B.K.S. Iyengar who developed a innovative approach to classical Hatha Yoga. Iyengar Yoga emphasizes alignment while developing strength, stamina, flexibility, and balance while being accessible to everyone regardless of age, ability, or physical limitations.

Every effort has been made to go above and beyond what is normally accepted to create an environmentally friendly studio space that is truly unique and different in every aspect. We look forward to sharing The Daley Practice experience with you. The Iyengar method was developed by yoga master B.K.S. Iyengar.

Precise alignment is the hallmark of Iyengar Yoga. It is often called (classical yoga) and is referred to as alignment yoga which gives you an understanding of how the poses (asanas) work for your hips, your back, your shoulders, or your neck, etc. Iyengar Yoga is taught to help you have an awareness of your body so you have tools to help existing issues or to help prevent injuries.
If you're open to the discipline and detailed instructions of Iyengar Yoga, not only will your practice improve very quickly and dramatically, you will truly find your Yoga Practice!. Thea Daley (founder/instructor of The Daley Practice) began practicing yoga in 1997 and has been following and studying Iyengar yoga intensely since 2001.

Wonderful place to practice yoga. I'd been practicing for more than ten years before discovering it and I'm learning new things all the time and finding a new level for my practice.

Very beautiful studio with absolutely everything needed for Iyengar yoga; amazing, talented, thoughtful and deeply caring teachers; individual attention and a great group atmosphere; a welcoming, nurturing and fun place to do yoga. And in downtown Asbury Park. You couldn't ask for more.

Best yoga on the Jersey Shore! Thoughtful, dedicated instructors - every class builds on the one before. The practice is great for every level, from beginner to advanced. And the studio is a beautiful serene space in a great , convenient location. Can't rave enough.

Thea Daley has created an Iyengar Yoga studio that is a stand-out in the Asbury Park area (an area that is seemingly overrun with yoga studios). The studio itself is perfectly sized, beautifully designed, welcoming, and calm. The mats and blankets and props are clean and orderly; as is the bathroom. (NB: Iyengar yoga, specifically, employs lots of props to aid students in achieving correct and safe alignment and support while learning the various yoga asanas.)
As nice as the studio is, the real draw here is Thea, herself, and her team of skilled instructors. Students include first-timers, those

Sometimes it takes leaving to realize what a treasure you had.
We have been Thea's students for over 6 years and drove 1 hour each direction, 2x a week, to take class at The Daley Practice. You cannot find this quality of instruction and community anywhere else. Not only have I significantly improved my practice, but I've made life-long friends in the process.
Thea, Robin and Gopali are highly experienced and each infuses their own unique interpretation and personality to the instruction. There are not many certified Iyengar teachers, so definitely take advantage of this specialty when available

A few years ago, a good friend asked me to join her and take a Yoga class in the City (NYC). I told her that I had never tried yoga but wouldn’t mind trying it out. I told her that I was somewhat intimidated but curious since I had no experience with the practice. She assured me it was a beginner’s class, and that it would be fun and that I would enjoy it. I took her for her word since she is a workout alcoholic and practices many different sports and exercise regimes, and it would be fun to do it with her.
When I arrived I was slightly overwhelmed by the size of the class, there must have

This is the most thorough and comprehensive practice that I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. The classes are well instructed and move very slowly with the concentration on the breath and doing the poses correctly to avoid injury and getting the most benefit from the practice. Props are used both to help achieve the maximum results from the poses as well as assisting with any injury the person may have to work around. I can't say enough about the Daley Practice and Iyengar Yoga in general... wouldn't go anywhere else.

After trying every type of yoga out there and thinking I just "wasn't the yoga type" I tried a class at The Daley Practice last summer. I know Thea Daley as a friend so ventured in check out her beautifull studio and try Iyengar. It was the best experience ever and I was so impressed by the class I am now a complete convert to Iyengar yoga. I have experienced so many benefits from the practice in my overall fitness and energy level I am amazed. It is thoughtful, intelligent, alignment based yoga to gain maximum benefit from the poses. Thea gives excellent instruction and a lot of

The Daley Practice is an amazing place to experience and fall in love with Iyengar yoga, which is an alignment based school of yoga where you learn how to improve your overall well being through a carefully organized series of yoga poses. Both teachers Thea and Robin are Iyengar trained and take the time to make sure everyone in their classes gets the personal attention and instruction required to learn the fundamentals and eventually get you the next level in the practice.

The rope wall, a traditional element of the iyengar practice, provides support when needed and allows students an amazing

The Daley Practice is a beautiful, zen Iyengar Yoga studio owned by Thea Daley. If you love yoga and want to learn and understand it, this is our place. my practice went from 'meh' to amazing and my body literally transformed. Injury and pain is gone from my hips, my posture is straight and I am strong. Why waste money anywhere else where this is the only real deal in the entire area?

Thank you Thea- you are an inspiration every day and have changed my life. xo
