Iyengar Yoga Sydney
What do you like about this time? I have an irregular working week, doing what I do (I’m a musician). If I’m not performing, Saturday is one of the quieter days in my week, and so coming in on a Saturday afternoon to practice is the time when I feel mentally quite spacious. I have […]
What do you like about this time? It can be quieter compared to class times & less people come in the afternoon it seems. What do you normally practice? It depends how I am feeing and or my body is feeling. What do you find the difference is for you between coming in and doing a practice, and […]
