Iyengar yoga Sydney: the short answer
You can do Iyengar yoga in Sydney by joining Flametree’s LIVE online classes from home. A Senior Iyengar Yoga Teacher guides you on screen and sees you, so you get on-the-spot tips just like in a studio. Flametree is a Darwin studio, so these are online classes, not a Sydney studio.
- What: LIVE Iyengar yoga by Zoom, taught by Christine (Chris) Lalor and the Flametree team.
- Who for: beginners, returning students and anyone who wants careful, clear teaching.
- Time zone: Sydney is 1.5 hours ahead of Darwin from October to April, and 30 minutes ahead the rest of the year. Check the timetable before you reserve.
- To start: your first online class is free. Then 12 beginner classes are $59.50 if you are new, or $39 for 14 days of non-beginner classes.
- Next step: see the beginner timetable and pick a class.
LIVE online classes bring Iyengar yoga to you, wherever you live.
Why choose LIVE online Iyengar yoga?
Iyengar yoga is about clear, careful teaching. You learn each pose step by step, using props such as a chair, a belt or a wall to help. A LIVE class lets the teacher see you and give tips for your body.
- Guidance on the spot: the teacher can see you and help you fix a pose.
- Regular times: a set class time makes it easier to keep going.
- Company: you practise with others, which helps you stay with it.
- From home: no travel, and online passes cost less than studio passes.
