What do you like about this time? I have been doing Sunday morning practice from around 7.45 to 9.25 am, since April last year. I use it as a good lead into Robyn’s general class which begins at 9.30 am. Sundays mornings are generally a pleasant time to walk down to the studio, plus it […]

Open Practice Spotlight: Arabella on Wednesdays @ 6am.

What do you like about this time? I’ve come to love the early mornings, but in truth my habit of getting up early in the morning was as hard for me as anyone else – I found it was the only time in the day I could have to myself with work and family commitments […]

Open Practice Spotlight: Robyn on Fridays @ 7.30am.

  What do you like about this 7:30am time? I generally like to practice in the mornings. My mind and body are fresh and then I can enjoy the benefits of the practice for the rest of the day. There is also a beautiful natural light streaming in through the window at the studio that […]

Why go to Pune? Guest post by Lynn Holt

‘Why go to Pune?’ Guest post by Lynn Holt. Part One of our Pune blog series. If you are a serious yogi the better question is why would you not go to Pune.  Once you are here then you will ask yourself why didn’t I come sooner?  When you arrive in India and if you […]

  ‘I don’t bring yesterday’s poses to today’s practice. I know yesterday’s poses, but when I practice today I become a beginner. I don’t want yesterday’s experience. I want to see what new understanding may come in addition to what I felt up to now.’ ― B.K.S. Iyengar   We’ve made a few changes at The […]
