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. All classes include a deep relaxation, leaving you feeling calm & energized.

“In each asana, if the contact between the body and the floor-the foundation-is good, the asana will be performed well. Always watch your base: Be attentive to the portion nearest the ground. Correct first from the root. The standing poses are meant to begin providing this foundation for life. They strengthen the ankles and the knees. When a person is mentally disturbed or dejected, you'll notice he can't stand firmly on his feet. These postures teach one how to stand straight so that the brain can float in its position. Feet are like the root of a tree.
If one can't stand properly on one's feet, one develops a negative attitude toward life, and one's yoga too becomes unsteady. These postures help one to maintain stability in times of difficulty and even when catastrophes occur. When stability becomes a habit, maturity and clarity follow. Stability requires balance.”

Twists: “ letting go of what was. Being with what is here now”

“You can carve an elephant from stone and from wood too. But with clay you can make and break and re make and enjoy the process of formation.

The remoulding each time is a fresh opportunity. It teaches you more about the process, the formation and the conditions along which you travel.

In this process the level of your input rises. The peace with which you work gives you that quietude. This quietude is that element in your asana which makes your asana a prayer, an offering.”

In Iyengar yoga, we focus on alignment, which naturally strengthens areas we might not normally activate or use.

When we practice yoga asanas, we often don't realize that the benefits extend throughout the entire body, fostering communication between all our systems. This happens subconsciously. Our body is a gift—an amazing technology containing miraculous solutions for our anatomy, mind, intelligence, and autonomic and energetic systems. When we care for ourselves, our mind and body reciprocate by caring for us.

Salamba Sarvangasana: the queen of asanas. Take time to walk the shoulders back and come to the tops of the shoulders before lifting the legs. Press the shoulders and upper arms down, walk the hands down the back, lift the sternum, sacrum and legs. Stay.

“Yoga is about the will, working with intelligence and self-reflective consciousness, it can free us of the inevitability of the wavering mind and outwardly directed senses.”

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.
