Open Practice Spotlight: Rachel on Saturday afternoons.

Simon Joannou February 26, 2020 Leave a Comment

Open Practice Spotlight: Rachel on Saturday afternoons.

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 […]

Open Practice Spotlight: Denise on Friday afternoons.

What do you like about this time? I like weekday early afternoons as the Centre feels peaceful, in a kind of lull between the morning and evening classes. What do you normally practise? I don’t practise a set sequence. Rather, I use the open practices as an opportunity to focus on some ongoing problem areas […]

Open Practice Spotlight: Michael on Sunday Mornings.

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 […]

Backbends and the Practice Of

At Marrickville Yoga Centre we run two backbend practices per week. Maintaining a regular backbend practice has a hugely beneficial  impact on other asanas as through the practice of backbends the body develops enormous strength and resilience.

Yoga gives me a place to go when I ain’t got nowhere

Guest post by Tanya Lippman Yoga is often sought to heal or improve the body. However, this was not my experience.For me, yoga has filled a void. For me I sought yoga as a place of hospitality. For me yoga was a home I could turn to when there were problems in my own home, […]

The Good and Bad Pain

The Good and Bad Pain

November 20, 2015 Hasu Opa Clark 5 Comments

‘Since pain is inevitable, asana is a laboratory in which we discover how to tolerate the pain that cannot be avoided and how to transform the pain that can.’ B.K.S. 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 […]

What is Iyengar Yoga? Part 2

October 16, 2015 Hasu Opa Clark 2 Comments

Mr Iyengar says “Practice asanas by creating space in the muscles and even the bones of your body. Practice asanas by creating […]
