IMMUNE SEQUENCE WORKSHOP
The Immune Sequence is a well-known practice within the Iyengar Yoga tradition, developed by B.K.S. Iyengar. It combines supported forward extensions, backbends, inversions, and restorative postures in a carefully considered order designed to quieten the nervous system, improve circulation, support the respiratory system, and help maintain balance in the body's natural defence mechanisms.
In this workshop, which is being run both in the studio and online, we will explore the sequence in depth, learning how the sequence works together to create a powerful and integrated practice. Suitable for general and experienced students who are experienced practising Headstand (Sirsasana) and Shoulderstand (Sarvangasana), this workshop offers the opportunity to develop a sequence that can become a valuable resource during times of stress, fatigue and seasonal illness.
The workshop consists of two complementary practice sessions held on the same day and is designed to be experienced as a complete programme. The morning practice is 1.5 hours in duration, followed by a 1-hour afternoon session that builds on and completes the work of the morning.
Cost of the workshop $55.
Online attendees will be sent the Zoom link once they have booked the workshop.
Collective+ Members receive a discounted workshop price of $45.
To access the member rate, please book and pay directly at the studio.
BENDALONG WINTER RETREAT
One of the loveliest times of the year is the end of winter, when nature quietly begins to prepare for spring. The days slowly grow longer, the sun carries a little more warmth, and there is a subtle sense of spring in the air.
What better time to step away for five days of yoga, rest and good company on the beautiful South Coast? Just three hours from Sydney, our Bendalong Retreat offers the time and space to immerse yourself in your practice, reconnect with nature and simply enjoy being away.

YOGA THERAPY TRAINING WORKSHOPS
Yoga therapy sits at the heart of MYC, and this program reflects our long-standing commitment to it. Participants in the program will have the opportunity to explore, adapt, and engage with yoga therapy through a practical, hands-on approach.
For teachers and experienced students who attend they will gain insight into seeing body and feeling the benefits of yoga as a therapy. While also learning how to apply these principles in guiding others safely and effectively.
Our Yoga Therapy Training weekends are offered both in-studio and online.
We will be offering two weekends over the year each with a Friday evening and Saturday afternoon session.
The first weekend took place in June and focused on the Back of the Body and the second weekend will look at the Front of the Body in September.
