We are committed to interpreting and sharing the work of BKS Iyengar. We practice and share in the method with honesty, creativity and with empathy. We collaborate together with a number of the worlds leading Iyengar yoga teachers to bring online workshops to many around the world for educational and development of the practice.

Iyengar Yoga offers enormous physical, mental and spiritual benefits. In an increasingly busy world, yoga can act as an antidote to the stress of daily life, and many studies have supported the potential of yoga to decrease physical pain and prevent disease. Improved energy levels, strength and emotional wellbeing are just some of the benefits of Iyengar Yoga.

No prior yoga experience is required however, we ask students new to yoga to complete all of our recorded Beginner level classes before attending our General level live online classes.

Our Beginner classes included the following:

• 6-Week Beginner Course with Simon. This is a free course.
• 8-Week Beginner Course with Simon. You need to be a member or purchase a casual passes to access this course.
• 40 x 1 hour Beginner Classes. You need to be a member or purchase casual passes to access this course.

When doing yoga its important to work carefully with any limitations that you may have eg. injuries, muscular restrictions, illness etc. Many of the standing poses in the free 6-Week Beginner Course can be practiced leaning against a wall and also a chair can be used in front on you if you are experiencing any issues with balance. If you are unsure if you should practice yoga with illness or injuries that you currently have, please consult your GP and email us for guidance.

If you are unsure if the Beginner classes are suitable for you, please email Stuart at online@marrickvilleyoga.com.au.

For those keen to start yoga who do suffer from serious injury or illness, we do not recommend starting online Yoga classes. If you live locally to Marrickville, we suggest our Yoga Therapy class as an ideal place to start. In a Yoga Therapy class you will have the opportunity to receive one-on-one attention and will be able to get the advice that can help you move forward in yoga. Please see our website for more information on Yoga Therapy.

If you are unsure if you should practice yoga with illness or injuries that you currently have, please consult your GP and email us for guidance.

The most important equipment is a non slip Yoga or exercise mat that you can practice on. Other props that would be useful include:

• A bolster or pillows, cushions, blankets / towels that can be made into a shape like a bolster. If you don’t have a bolster, thicker blankets and towels can be rolled together to get the same shape as a bolster. Often an additional folded blanket or a towel is required to place under your head to bring even length on the front and back of your neck.
• Blanket/s – depending on the climate you are in and the room you practice in, you may also like an additional blanket to cover yourself when we relax at the end of the class in Savasana.
• A chair. Ideally the chair will be like a Yoga chair however, most dining room chairs can also be used for supported and seated poses.
• A belt. Ideally the belt will be a Yoga belt however, a standard belt used in trousers or rope can be can also be used in most cases.

We sell some yoga props through our in-studio school Marrickville Yoga Centre. Please email us at info@marrickvilleyoga.com.au if you would like further information. If we don’t have the yoga props you require, we can provide you details for online suppliers we recommend.
