Introducing: Robyn Pearson.
Robyn completed her teacher training with Pixie at the Balmain Iyengar Yoga Studio in 2012 and she has been teaching at the Studio ever since. Robyn brings a maturity, genuineness and clarity to her teaching that her students highly appreciate.
Robyn was also involved as a Board member of the Iyengar Association of Australia for 4 years and continues to contribute her energy to the association, and to our Studio.

"Always looking again at how to create balance..."
A glimpse into the retreat that is unfolding in Dolcedo, Italy with Pixie Lillas this week. Those who have attended know how extraordinary it is: staying near a tiny, traditional Italian village in a converted mill. The sound of water burbling in the stream, and frogs croaking at night. Swimming in the cool water, and dozing under the trees. Pranayama first thing in the morning, then silence and self-study over breakfast, as...ana later, and inversions and restorative in the afternoon. It is magical. Most attendees are longtime students of Pixie's. The atmosphere is very special, and deeply conducive to rest, recuperation and reflection.
Cath Morgan, who was trained by Pixie and who now runs Hope Valley Yoga in the UK, shares photos of this year's retreat and says: "Pixie explained that we shouldn’t just treat these points mechanically but use the actions to make observations that we can then act upon. She made us think very clearly about the balance on the right and left side in so many ways but always stating nothing was right or wrong, it was just information that the body was giving us. The only thing that could be perceived as “wrong” was knowing something and not doing anything about it and not trying to find that elusive sense of balance."

“Yoga practices are integral. Yoga is a unified state. If you cook a dish, you might add sugar, salt, something pungent, something hot. Then you get a mixed taste. You cannot say this is a sweet dish or this is a salty dish. Everything is unified there.”—Prashant Iyengar
Today, July 2, is Prashantji’s birthday. Many happy returns! You can read Prashant on āsana practice here: http://iyi.org.uk/prashant-iyengar-on-asa na-practice/
