Graham Williams was introduced to Iyengar Yoga in 1993 while living in Crested Butte, Colorado. Diagnosed with scoliosis at age 10, she was drawn to the Iyengar method for its precision, structure, and therapeutic potential. Her early teachers connected her with scoliosis specialist Elise Browning Miller, with whom she studied extensively, completing Elise’s scoliosis teacher training in 2004.

Graham holds a Junior Intermediate II certification (CIYT) and is a Certified Yoga Therapist (C-IAYT). In 2006, she founded the Iyengar Yoga Center of Raleigh, the first and only Iyengar Yoga studio in the Triangle, and became the first Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher in Raleigh. She has since mentored several local teachers through the certification process.

Her commitment to lifelong learning has taken her on three trips to Pune, India, to study directly with the Iyengar family. She continues to deepen her studies with Abhijata Iyengar and her long-time mentors, Dean and Rebecca Lerner.

Graham is passionate about helping students experience the physical and emotional benefits that Iyengar Yoga has brought to her own life. She remains deeply grateful to her teachers, mentors, and students who continue to inspire her path of study and teaching.
