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.

Some wise words to inspire your practice.

"You know the known, so go a little into the unknown. The mind that is caught up in the known- extended a little beyond reason. The moment you go beyond, you move in the soul."
BKS Iyengar

⚠️ Why you shouldn't rush into deep breathwork.

Pranayama is more than just "breathing exercises." It is a powerful tool for healing, but as B.K.S. Iyengar taught, it requires a strong vessel.

If your body lacks structural integrity or your nervous system is weak, forcing the breath can lead to restlessness and imbalance rather than peace.

The Rule: Build the structure first.
When the body is free from ailment and the spine is strong, the breath can finally do its job: balancing your "fight or flight" response and clearing the path for your inner light to shine. ✨

What a great way to start the year! Thanks Pixie for your excellent 7 day January intensive. As a result I feel younger this year than I did last year!

Yoga is not a philosophy to debate or a puzzle to solve.
It is a practice to be experienced.

We can talk endlessly about yoga, but true understanding only comes from the imprint of direct practice. Discussion has value—yet it is meaningful only when rooted in what has been personally lived on the mat.

✨ The Science of Direct Knowledge
When experience and intellect unite, factual knowledge is born.
This happens when what you feel in the body precisely aligns with what you know and visualize in the mind.
That meeting point—where experience and thinking tally—is the essence of yoga.

✨ Closing the Gap
Have you ever noticed a gap between how a pose should look and how it actually feels?

When experience and thinking don’t align, it usually points to one of two things:
🌿 Experience is still developing — more time, repetition, and observation are needed.
🌿 Thinking lacks precision — mental alignment needs refinement and clarity.

Neither is a failure. Both are part of learning.
✨ True yoga lives in the precision of the present moment—where what you do and what you know become one.

💭 Reflection:
Have you ever had a moment in practice when a posture suddenly clicked—when sensation and understanding aligned?

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.
