Balmain Iyengar Yoga Studio

Balmain Iyengar Yoga Studio Pixie Lillas, director of The Balmain Iyengar Yoga Studio, started practicing yoga in 1976 and currently holds a Junior Advanced Certificate.

Established in 1980 by internationally-renowned teacher Pixie Lillas, the Balmain Iyengar Yoga Studio is one of Sydney's oldest studios and one of Balmain's longest-running businesses. She has been closely involved with the BKS Iyengar Yoga Association since it started in 1985 and with the running of assessments for teacher certification since that time. Pixie continues to go back to study with the Iyengar family on an almost yearly basis. Every teacher at the school has been personally trained by Pixie, which ensures an international standard for all students attending The Studio, from beginners through to advanced.

🌺Yoga Retreat
🌿Location: Dolcedo, Italy
⏱️When: June 28 - July 5
🦎Teacher: Pixie Lillas

Pixie Lillas will be teaching a one-week (7 nights) retreat for experienced students in Dolcedo, Liguria in Italy.

Unlike a yoga holiday, a retreat offers the opportunity to absorb oneself in the study of asana and pranayama without the distractions of everyday life. Participants are encouraged to approach the week from the perspective of immersion and reflection.

Students who attend Dolcedo will have the opportunity to explore the effects of pranayama once or twice a day and to have ongoing sequential asana sessions which allow for the development of particular yoga techniques and concepts tailored to the group.
