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 […]

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.

Top 5 Reasons to Love Backbends

#1 They make us feel good Yep, they sure do. Backbends are some of the most uplifting asanas, creating a more positive sense of self. There is something about the head being down and the chest being open that changes the physical body and alters the mental perspective. As we go around in daily life so much […]

Inversions Every Day

By Simon Joannou There is something about doing inversions that changes how you feel. If you come to your yoga practice feeling scattered, overwhelmed or anxious, doing Salamba Sirsasana (headstand) and Salamba Sarvangasana (shoulder stand) can help bring you to a state of calm. The reason we as practitioners do inversions every day is because […]

The Good and Bad Pain

Hasu Opa Clark November 20, 2015 5 Comments

The Good and Bad Pain

‘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 3

Iyengar yoga is interested in perseverance. In yoga asanas, we find ourselves in a state of discomfort and the question is put to us: what are we going to do about it? Pain is an inescapable aspect of life and yoga teaches us to develop skills to bear pain and go through it, rather than […]

What is Iyengar Yoga? Part 2

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 […]
