Private Tuition & Group Bookings - with Maree O'Connor, Certified Iyengar Yoga Teacher. Maree has been living, practicing & teaching in Maleny for over 35 years and has real life experience in the ability of yoga to heal the physical body & mind. Her passion is to share the practice & teachings of Yogarcharya BKS Iyengar - the integrity of the Iyengar Lineage. Classes are structured around alignment-based asana or yoga postures - which create an awareness of the body in space - building strength, stability & balance. Guided by the unique techniques & instructions - and the use of 'props' - an understanding of how the body, mind & breath integrate, develops. This grows and evolves with your practice, and it adapts with one's life circumstances. All classes include a deep relaxation, leaving you feeling calm & energized. Maree maintains a freshness in her teaching with regular PD studies in Australia & at the Iyengar Institute (RIMYI) in Pune, India - the home of the Iyengar family for over 85 years.

Yoga Studies-Saturday 28 February | 1.30-4.30pm |
Sensitivity as the Heart of Practice
Join us for a reflective Yoga Studies session exploring sensitivity as the essence of true practice. Drawing on B.K.S. Iyengar’s insight that “breath is the bridge which connects life to consciousness,” we’ll investigate how awareness and sensitivity arise from within—beyond physical form.
Through asana, breath observation, and shared reflection, participants will cultivate deeper listening and integration of body, breath, and mind.

is a perfect way to release the back after backbending.

This set up with my feet against the wall felt incredibly grounding. Here i’m pressing my feet to earth from my sacrum to the feet and further secure the thigh flesh to the bone. Resting my thighs on the support helps lengthen and release the lower back.

The height under my shoulders supports the soft lengthening of the neck and the lift of my sternum.

Honestly I could stay here all day just quietly watching my breath, but life awaits 🤩.

Salamba Sarvangasana – Chair Supported

A supported approach to the “Mother of Asanas.”

With the pelvis lifted and the legs either reaching upward or resting on the chair rail, the body can remain longer — without strain in the neck or shoulders.

This version is especially beneficial during times of fatigue or recovery. The support allows the chest to open, the circulation to reverse, and the nervous system to quiet.

Even fully supported, the tremendous healing qualities of Sarvangasana remain — steadying the heart, balancing the endocrine system, and bringing clarity to the mind.

Stay. Breathe. Absorb. 🙏🏻

🌿 In Paschimottanasana, the instruction to *broaden the front ribs* is not a detail—it’s the key.

If the front ribs narrow, the spine collapses.
If the ribs broaden, the spine extends.

The action is clear:
• Move the back ribs forward into the front ribs
• Widen the front cage
• Hit the side trunk out toward the side wall

This creates ✨space inside the torso✨, allowing the forward movement to arise from an extended spinal axis—not compression.

The same principle appears in twists:
If the groin is locked, the abdomen has no room to rotate.
When the groin descends into the leg, space is created.

Whether twisting or folding:
👉 Space first
👉 Axis steady
👉 Movement follows

This is geometry in yoga—not flexibility.

✨ RESTORATIVE & PRANAYAMA ✨

Restore. Breathe. Heal.

In a world that demands constant motion, restorative yoga and pranayama offer something sacred: permission to pause. These practices calm your nervous system, restore your energy, and bring you back to balance.

In Iyengar Yoga, restorative poses use props to fully support your body, allowing deep relaxation and healing. Pranayama—the conscious regulation of breath—enhances the flow of energy, quiets mental chatter, and brings clarity to the mind.

Together, they remind us that healing happens in stillness, and that the most powerful practice is sometimes the gentlest one.

Ready to restore yourself? Join us this week for practices that nourish your whole being. 🙏

Our Story

Maleny Yoga Centre was founded in 2013 by long term resident and teacher of Yoga - Maree O'Connor:

It is the first fully equipped ‘communal’ yoga space in Maleny township - where teachers of different yogic traditions, styles and allied practises are invited to run their classes. That way the yoga community can take advantage of a centralized place to practise in town - not having to make a special trip just for class. This also benefits those without a vehicle, as the bus stop is just across the road in Maple street. Thus “For the Wellbeing of our Community’.

We currently run classes 4 days a week in Iyengar Yoga - with new classes in Radiant Light & Vinyasa in March. All classes are suitable for Beginners. There are also Slow Paced / Seniors classes suitable for the those with limited mobility including pre / post natal. Our monthly Workshops and seasonal Intensives provide the more experienced students & teachers the opportunity to study yoga on a deeper level.

No bookings are required. Please arrive 5-10 minutes before class. Yoga is practised on an empty stomach. A snack 1 hour before is ok. Please wear comfortable active wear and clean bare feet. Slip on shoes are recommended as the toilets are outside if required during class. The studio is efficiently airconditioned for your comfort, with the option of open doors and fresh air flow when suitable.
