Friends of Marrickville November 2018

  ‘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 […]

Iyengar Iyengar yoga teachers will sometimes ask: ‘Is it good pain or bad pain?’ This may seem like an odd question. After all, pain is pain – what’s […]

October 16, 2015 Hasu Opa Clark 2 Comments

Iyengar yoga is interested in integration. Although we work with certain parts of the body in certain asanas, the Iyengar method teaches us that all asanas originate in the core of one’s being. Mr Iyengar says “Practice asanas by creating space in the muscles and even the bones of your body. Practice asanas by creating […]
