Iyengar Yoga

Iyengar Yoga is derived from the teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar. His teachings are a unique and contemporary interpretation of classical Hatha Yoga as defined in the 2000 year old text The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.

Iyengar yoga distinguishes itself from other styles of yoga by:

  • Placing an emphasis on precise, detailed teaching instruction. This attention to detail aims to bring the body into healthy alignment – whilst bringing the mind into harmony with the physical body.
  • The use of props (such as blankets, cushions, belts etc), aimed at making yoga accessible and safe for all body types and ages, irrespective of ailment or injury.
  • Ensuring rigorous standards of accreditation and teacher training

Marrickville Yoga Centre acknowledges the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation as the traditional custodians of the Marrickville region and recognises their continuing connection to land, waters and culture. We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
