West Coast Yoga

West Coast Yoga West Coast Yoga - an Iyengar yoga school at Piha, NZ. We teach weekly group classes and privates. West Coast Yoga classes began in 2019.

West Coast Yoga is the Piha-based yoga school, led by Kylie Bailey. Kylie was born and raised in this coastal community, which is just 45 minutes from Auckland's CBD. She has been practicing Iyengar yoga for more than a decade and is a certified Iyengar yoga teacher. In fact, it was a first-ever yoga class in the local hall at the age of 15 that first sparked her fascination with yoga. Kylie teaches weekly group yoga classes both online and in the old Piha schoolhouse and hosts yoga workshops and healthy events. Also a well-known health journalist and science communicator in New Zealand, Kylie is the co-founder of online health and happiness hub, Good For You. She believes in using her practice, teaching and writing to support, collaborate and spread the word about how to live your healthiest life and be part of a more connected world.

Wrist release…

When we move the hands into different positions and bear weight onto the ball, we free up the congestion in these narrow structures that is caused by using devices.

Our 9.30am Sunday class this week is being taught by Ting Ting Leigh.

Ting Ting is a certified Iyengar yoga teacher, who lives out west. Originally from Taiwan, she has called Aotearoa home since 2006. Being a percussionist in music bands has featured throughout most of her life, along with the study and practice of jazz. Drumming has been just one of her passions.

After the birth of her baby girl, and an unfortunate sacroiliac injury that soon followed afterwards, she was introduced to Iyengar Yoga in 2014 and has been enthralled and stimulated ever since.

“Iyengar yoga has assisted and supported me to be able to stand behind my instruments throughout my performance, knowing that I can focus and help my fellow musicians to do the same as well. With my desire and heart, I decided to dedicate my life to yoga and yoga teaching.”

Ting-Ting is also a teacher at our sister school .winds.yoga and she teaches online for the Chinese community.

The chest felt heavy this morning as a winter cold hit the respiratory system. 🤧

When I’m under the weather, I usually turn to Light On Yoga to check out what Mr Iyengar recommended in a practice context.

After working with inversions and forward bends, his sequence wound me into the seated twists of Ardha Matsyendrāsana I (pictured) and Pasāsana, where I used the mini whaler for heel support.

These twists (practiced three times each side) instantly helped clear out the sinus and I left the mat feeling lighter in the lungs. 🫁

Love it when the practice delivers such immediate relief. 🫶🏾

Parivrtta means to revolve…

In this series of standing postures, the spine works against the containment of the front leg’s outer femur.

This creates torque in the base of the spine, allowing energetic action to permeate vertebrae above and release the upper back.

“Regular practice of Śīrșāsana makes the mind clear and serene.”

- B.K.S Iyengar

For the last three classes, we’ve explored the different leg variations in Śīrșāsana and the āsanas that support these. The journey continues today.
