“Yoga allows you to find a new kind of freedom that you may not have known even existed” BKS Iyengar
Iyengar Yoga has had a continuous presence in Alice Springs since 1996, when three young students, who wanted to deepen their practice starting teaching. From a dojo room , an industrial shed, a Satyananda yoga hall and finally a renovated fitted out studio space (Rhebo Hall), a strong community of students has grown.
Alice Springs Iyengar Yoga Led Practice Group formed from this dedicated group of students who wanted to maintain and evolve their own practice in the absence of a certified teacher.
A led practice is where the leader creates an asana sequence that they call and do in real time along side other practitioners. The leaders are established and committed students but not certified teachers and therefore each student takes responsibility for themselves and as such it is not a class. However, leading and attending a led practice is a great way to build confidence and self-discipline in a caring environment.
The Led Practice Group is supported by Sally Mumford and other visiting Iyengar Yoga teachers who regularly come to Alice to run courses and weekend workshops.
The Alice Springs Iyengar Yoga Practice Group can be contacted via their Facebook page.
