15.01.2022 With the extension of Melbournes lockdown until 27th September I’m happy to teach yoga from my home to yours . Clifton Hill Yoga Studio has an online library with a wide range of recordings (classes and courses) yet a LIVE experience and connecting on our mats through yoga keeps us in the here & now, connects us with our community and is uplifting. . Should at 27th September the restrictions get loosened, we still remain online on Zoom until 26th October, next stage is... up to 23rd November!! From 26/10 to 23/11 outdoors yoga with a maximum of 10 people will be possible. Hopefully the doors of our studio will then reopen from 23rd November, time will tell. Until then, we are spoilt with choices, and what we do with our time . In my daily yoga practise I uncover treasures that give me deep trust and more than that, faith to follow this yoga path that unfolds, seeing the silver lining in every experience that comes to me. There I loose my sense of I-ness and allow light to shine on my ignorance, desires or afflictions. It is a gross yet subtle and organic process that takes its own time. I enjoy it, my internal garden . Patanjali says, have full faith in yourself. Trust yourself and your efforts. Be confident. Apply your efforts totally, with full physical, moral, mental, intellectual and spiritual strength. ~ BKS Iyengar, Light on Astanga Yoga Edition 2012

14.01.2022 Good morning everyone

13.01.2022 That was it! Holidays are over for me, and the New Year has started with glorious warm days and freedom to travel beyond 5km and be with each other. Precautions of social distancing and hygiene are still advised in Melbourne also at our studios... but we are OPEN!!! I hope your year has started well and if you still have time off, I wish you a lovely relaxing time. . Somehow saying happy New Year, feels a bit odd to me considering the losses, pain and grief many people... are going through. It’s okay if you don’t agree, we all have different perceptions. Compassion and contentment are keywords for me. I can’t wait to see everyone again, face-to-face and back-on-the-mat . I totally understand if you don’t want to read about me. So feel free to not read on but those who do: I love water, rivers, ocean, and I love cycling so its an awesome and enjoyable way to move around and blow those cobwebs out of my head I was delighted to discover there are some very courageous spirits who cycle long distances through the Outback of Australia, and their adventures inspire me I hope to explore more if Time allows . . . #happynewyear #2021 #cycling #cyclingaustralia #outbackaustralia #morningtonpeninsula #backonthemat #yogateacher #yogastudent #iyengaryoga #holidayseason See more

10.01.2022 B.K.S. Iyengar 14 December 1918 - 20 August 2014 The beauty of backbends by Guruji Iyengar... And now to speak of the emotionswhen you do backbends, what happens to the emotional center? Does it not open more? Does it not go to vastness? So as we say that the empty cup alone is useful, you are creating tremendous vastness so that it can accumulate [absorb and withstand] all types of pressures and strains. So emotionally there is no chance for a person who does backbends to get depressed or distressed.() Backbends give stability, or maturity, where there’s ripeness in the brain, ripeness in the emotion. So we cannot become victims easily, those who very accurately do backbends. You can take catastrophes with a calm mind, which others cannot do. INTERVIEW WITH B.K.S.

09.01.2022 For a nice energetic start of your weekend: tomorrow morning from 7 - 9AM on Zoom with Rita... Yoga from my home to yours Book now at www.iyoga.com.au and follow the prompts to Clifton Hill Yoga Studio.

09.01.2022 When you look inside what is it that you see? Not what you want to see, but what do you really see? Honesty towards ourselves is like a prisma, it is non-judgemental Self love, self care and selflessness all belong to that triangle of altruism. Yoga darsana provides the mirror and we walk that path, all you have to do is be present in the now.

03.01.2022 Born on 14 December 1918 Bellur Krishnamachar Sundararaja Iyengar. My believe is that he wants us to celebrate his life and his teachings, and continue his endless and selfless work progressively and in purity and complete honesty towards ourselves today would’ve been his 102nd Birthday ... Live happily, die majestically. ~ BKS Iyengar
