Black Lotus Studios, Iyengar Yoga and Natural Therapies Centre
Welcome to ‘BLYS – Black Lotus Yoga Studios’
‘BLYS – Black Lotus Yoga Studios’ is a new yoga and natural therapies centre in Enmore. We are located right at the edge of Newtown on top of the iconic graffiti covered ‘Ausscrap’ building. You’ll find that we are a quiet haven rising up out of the scrap yard…….
BLYS opened its doors in October 2007 and has been attracting newcomers to yoga ever since. From the moment you walk up the stairs you know that BLYS is a unique yoga school. There is a sense of space, light and artistry as you walk through the centre. You might be here for a yoga class, a workshop, a treatment, a massage, a performance or a community event – the centre itself is responsive, flexible and intriguing. If you are a newcomer to yoga we offer regular beginners courses and for the more experienced we have an ongoing weekly timetable of open classes.
Yoga Classes
Everyone is welcome to come to our classes – from 6 years to 99. You don’t have to be fit, strong, relaxed or even flexible – although you may end up that way! At ‘BLYS’ we offer beginners courses, open classes, intensives, workshops and retreats.
We have classes and courses that help you to build the foundation for a practice that has the potential to engage and support you for the rest of your life. To study yoga is to study our selves – in action. While you have breath in your body you are a built in study lab. Yoga teaches you how to look and to see what you are looking at. Yoga is not competitive or judgmental although it is, at times, challenging and will demand your attention.
All classes at BLYS are taught in the “Iyengar method”. The Iyengar method of teaching and practicing yoga is famous for its unique use of props such as blankets, belts and blocks help you to achieve the poses safely and effectively.
