OUR STORY
The Journey
Bruce and Helen founded Penrith Yoga Studio in October 2016. Prior to that, Iyengar Yoga in Sydney stopped at the Inner West and started again at the Blue Mountains. We began with just Beginners Courses for a few months and 4 years on, we have a maturing studio in a vibrant community. We run classes from Beginners through Foundations to General and Advanced. We are thrilled to have moved to a bustling, vibrant part of Penrith CBD.
ALL CLASSES ARE CURRENTLY ONLINE
During Lockdown
We are currently running a limited timetable of online classes. You can start with an online membership now, and change to a face to face membership later if you wish.
BEGINNERS - HOW TO START ONLINE
Start in a Beginners/Foundations Class
Thursday 5:30pm, Saturday 10am, Sunday 9:45am. These classes are suitable for Beginners.
MORNING YOGA INTENSIVE
ONLINE 6:30AM TO 7:30AM
AUGUST 2 TO 6
Having an established pranayama practice can bring many benefits to our lives, and particularly at stressful times like these. But to gain benefit from pranayama, we need to prepare ourselves physically and mentally, through asana practice. This intensive will explore how asana practice can support and facilitate pranayama practice.
Bookings are for the full week. Attendance at all sessions is recommended.
Free if you have an Unlimited Membership
This intensive is definitely going ahead, as we have the minimum of 5 bookings.
MORNING YOGA INTENSIVE
ONLINE 8AM TO 9AM
AUGUST 9 TO 13
In this intensive, we will look at the twin pillars of yoga - practice and detachment. We tend to come readily to practice - it's what we do; it's tangible. Detachment can seem more elusive, more esoteric. We'll look at how practice and detachment play out in this extended period of lockdown.
Bookings are for the full week. Attendance at all sessions is recommended.
Free if you have an Unlimited Membership
This intensive will only run if reach a minimum of 5 bookings.

Up to 17 Classes per Week. Classes 7 Days.
Bruce
I started yoga in 1993 and recommend it to everyone. Not just for the physical benefits (the strength and flexibility). But also for the way it can help to shape how we feel about ourselves, how we relate to others and our perspective on life.
Helen
I began practising Iyengar yoga in 1991, and began teaching in 2007. I feel blessed to be able to run Penrith Yoga Studio - combining my passion with the need to earn a living.
Kathryn
I started practising Iyengar Yoga in my early twenties. I became a teacher in 2010 and have taught at various Iyengar studios. Regularly teaching and practising Iyengar Yoga gives me a firm sense of focus and calmness and continues to maintain my mobility, flexibility and mindfulness that penetrates all aspects of my life.
Simone
I began practicing yoga in 1999, and have been teaching since 2007. I love the Iyengar method. Teachers and students are supported and encouraged to have continual growth.
I draw from my yoga daily, both on and off the mat.
Yoga has also gifted me with community and friendships that will last a lifetime.
