It was a pleasure to be in the company of so many passionate lovers of last weekend.

We gathered over two days, volunteering our time and efforts, to listen and learn from each other's experiences of Yoga.

The potential and potency of Iyengar Yoga Australia as a national association lies in its capacity to unite a diverse community of teachers in a common cause.

That is, to uphold the lineage and teaching of .to the best of our current understandings and knowledge base

We are by no means perfect and, in many ways, that's the point of getting together as a community.

To challenge each other's assumptions and preconceived notions of best practice, requires both intellectual rigour and an open heart.

Thank you IYA for facilitating such an extraordinary gathering of like minded souls.

It is always interesting to engage and be a part of something that is much bigger than each of us as individuals.

Thank you also to all teachers who covered classes whilst I was away

Ross Parris , Sandy Curtis, Dan West and Jan Hollingworth I can't do what I do without you 🫶🏼💕🙏🏼

After participating in teacher development at the NZ convention, our principal teacher Ann Dragon has been attending a meeting of senior teachers in Melbourne.

Our timetable of classes will return to normal programming from Wednesday this week, upon her return.

Trainees to Level 4 certified teachers, all had so much to learn from Abhijata’s teacher development session. One of the key messages throughout the convention, which was consolidated today, was the importance of context in all learning. We cannot simply take one idea we have learned and apply it to every situation. There needs to be greater intelligence in our teaching and practice than a simple copy and paste approach.

“Together we can make a better world” her final words to us, reminding us of the importance of unity and collaboration 🪷🙏🏾

Teacher development with Abhijata Iyengar on the final day saw around 80-100 teachers voicing questions and working with each other to gain confidence and clarity in purpose.

It was a very interactive session, with Abhi setting up pairs and groups to practice adjustments on different body types.

We learnt how to lift each other in handstand and headstand. We stabilised the front knee for lateral angle pose whilst learning to open the chest.

Then we sat and listened to each other's teaching concerns, fears and doubts. The energy of openness was refreshing, with Abhi's clarity and depth of understanding bringing confidence and joy to the proceedings.

Many many laughs were had, contacts shared and connections made.

It was a dynamic end to the four day event.

Thank you Abhijata for continuing to light the path your grandfather walked 👣🤲🏼🙏🏼

May we all strive to uphold Iyengar Yoga with lightness in our hearts ✨🕯️✨

Break time on day two with Ahbijata Iyengar.

This morning we considered what it is to have an "open mind". We questioned why we often 'hold ourselves back" in asanas.

Loving it and isn't the music divine

Dr Geeta Iyengar explains how 'the use of ropes for asanas' is a preparation for the mind.

Going from known to unknown ... to develop the courage ...how to develop the freedom of the body ... and the mind

In the coming weeks, we'll be emphasising Yoga Kunta as we continue to work with 'attributes' and changing perspectives.

NPYR is eternally grateful for the wealth of knowledge Geetaji gave so generously. It is a privilege to uphold the Iyengar tradition and a responsibility not taken lightly.

I spy with my little eye something beginning with ..... community activation.

Last year's engagement with the Town Team Movement weekend has generated curious spaces where people of all ages explore, create and play.

Thanks also to the City of Vincent for engaging with our community to foster the type of local environment within which we all can thrive.

If you'd like to be more involved within a community of 'positive doers' join us for a cuppa
