Yoga Classes
Everyone is welcome to come to our classes - from 6 years to 99. You don’t have to be fit, strong, relaxed or even flexible - although you may end up that way! Yoga is not competitive or judgmental although it is, at times, challenging and will demand your attention. Our classes and courses will teach you how to build the foundations for a practice that has the potential to engage and support you for the rest of your life.
At Black Lotus Yoga Studios we offer a range of courses for beginners and open yoga classes for those who already have some yoga experience. We regularly run intensives, special focus workshops and retreats. Private classes are available on request. We have a once a month charity class - all the proceeds of this class go directly to a nominated charity. Yippee-i-yoga is a Black Lotus initiative to get kids into their bodies in a safe and supportive environment.
All of our yoga classes are taught in the tradition of B.K.S. Iyengar. BLYS teachers are qualified to teach through the BKS Iyengar Yoga Association of Australia or are in training (with Peter Thomson). We all travel regularly to India to study at the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute (RIMYI).
The Iyengar method of teaching and practicing yoga is famous for its unique use of props such as blankets, belts and blocks that help students to achieve the poses safely and effectively.
