Rathdowne Yoga Room

Rathdowne Yoga Room A down-to-earth Iyengar yoga studio in the heart of Carlton North, Victoria with a range of friendly Mr BKS Iyengar founded the Iyengar style.

He is known for bringing yoga to the West and is renowned for his innovative use of props (ie blankets, belts, blocks) to support yoga practice in order to avoid strain and risk of physical damage. In our studio classes we start with a few moments of quiet to prepare for the yoga. Preliminary poses mobilise, open and activate the body to encourage a focused, concentrated state of mind. Standing po

ses promote the fundamentals of how to adjust and align the body correctly, and which then informs the practice of more advanced poses such as inversions (handstand, headstand) and backbends.

Our Story

Located in the heart of Carlton North, Rathdowne Yoga Room has been bringing Iyengar yoga to the community since 1987.

With over 25 years of yoga teaching experience and as director of Rathdowne Yoga Room since 1997, Frank Alberti’s pragmatic approach to Iyengar yoga is accessible and down-to-earth. Class sizes are small and friendly, ensuring individual attention is provided, and asanas (poses) are taught with the aid of props and equipment to ensure students practise safely and within their own range of ability.

Iyengar style yoga emphasises balanced body alignment, strength and flexibility, leading to improved stamina and concentration. The Iyengar approach allows people of all ages, levels of health and fitness to enjoy the benefits of yoga practice, including the ability to face the physical, mental and emotional challenges of contemporary life with strength, vitality, mobility, thoughtfulness and equanimity. Current students range in age from 20 to 84 years old!
