2025 News Update

Happy New Year to you all! I hope you have had an enjoyable start to the year and have managed to find some downtime and rest. We remained open over the New Year period, and it’s been wonderful to see the terrific response.

Yoga Atma first opened its doors on November 25th, 2014, and this year marks our eleventh year in this location. As I reflect on the years, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude. As I mentioned at our end-of-year break-up soiree, the Yoga Atma space is a beautiful reminder of the power of unity and love. Bringing together students from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and faiths, we have created a space that transcends differences.

Yoga Atma is more than just a school; it’s a vibrant community centered around the practice and philosophy of Iyengar yoga. Here, students can deepen their understanding and experience of yoga in a setting that values holistic well-being and personal growth. Whether beginning a journey in yoga, looking to deepen an existing practice, or exploring the therapeutic benefits of yoga, Yoga Atma offers a comprehensive, enriching experience in a serene and welcoming environment.

2025 Teacher Training Course

Yoga Atma now offers a comprehensive program for students who wish to not only deepen their personal yoga practice but also to teach Iyengar yoga. Iyengar Yoga Australia is dedicated to honoring and promoting the work of B.K.S. Iyengar in Australia. Today, it has grown into a vibrant and welcoming community committed to learning, practicing, and sharing the art, science, and philosophy of Iyengar yoga.

The Association, through its Certification Committee, administers and regulates the requirements and standards for the training and assessment of Iyengar yoga teachers. The assessment and certification procedures are guided by the Ramamani Iyengar Memorial Yoga Institute, the home of Iyengar yoga.

The Association upholds rigorous ethical guidelines, based on the limbs of Yama and Niyama as laid out in the Yoga Sutras, and certified teachers are recognized internationally.

The Introductory level certification program allows you to teach as a recognized Iyengar Yoga teacher and use the Iyengar Certification Mark.
