Welcome to the Yoga Nook, located in the vibrant inner-west Sydney suburb of Dulwich Hill; we warmly welcome yoga enthusiasts seeking the transformative teachings of BKS Iyengar yoga. Since its inception in 2002, the Yoga Nook has been a sanctuary crafted by Linda Apps, a dedicated practitioner and advocate of the Iyengar tradition. Our school is a beacon of Iyengar yoga, fostering growth, alignment, and holistic well-being.
“BKS” stands for “Bellur Krishnamachar Sundararaja,” the full name of B.K.S. Iyengar, the founder of this yoga style.
The Yoga Nook is run by Linda and a team of experienced teachers, who have trained under the guidance of Australia’s most esteemed Iyengar teachers or are in teacher training with Linda. Our school offers diverse classes tailored to suit practitioners at various levels, accommodating beginners, general students and those seeking more advanced instruction. Additionally, we provide intensive sessions, specialised workshops, and immersive retreats designed to facilitate and expedite students’ progress along the profound path of yoga.
At the heart of Iyengar yoga lies an emphasis on alignment in asanas—a practice that extends beyond physical alignment to encompass mental and emotional harmony. Through precise guidance and attention to alignment, we aim to enable practitioners to fully immerse themselves in an active state of meditation during their practice. Through this alignment, we encourage our students to integrate their whole being, fostering a mindful and unified presence on and off the mat. Students are encouraged and enabled to develop their own yoga practice.
Our dedicated instructors embody the essence of Iyengar yoga, offering guidance and support as students navigate their yoga journeys. We create a nurturing environment that encourages self-exploration and personal growth, empowering practitioners to develop unique yoga practices tailored to their needs. Whether you’re stepping onto the mat for the first time or seeking to deepen an existing practice, our classes are crafted to meet diverse needs and abilities.
The Yoga Nook isn’t merely a place to practice yoga; it’s a community where like-minded individuals come together to share their passion for this transformative discipline. Beyond the physical postures, our school is a space for self-discovery, resilience, and inner peace. Yoga isn’t just about what happens during the practice; it’s about integrating its wisdom into our daily lives, fostering balance and mindfulness in every aspect.
As we delve into the depths of BKS Iyengar’s teachings, we aim to guide our students on a journey of self-exploration and growth. Through precise alignment, thoughtful guidance, and unwavering support, the Yoga Nook is committed to nurturing each individual’s potential to achieve a harmonious balance of body, mind, and spirit on their yoga path. Join us as we embark on this transformative journey together.
