Shri and Padman have created a beautiful, tranquil and spiritual environment in which to practice Iyengar Yoga. Having experienced back pain, tightness and poor flexibility from years of distance running, I was advised to take up yoga and began practicing Iyengar yoga at The Yoga Temple when it opened in 2005. My flexibility and wellbeing have improved dramatically and I am now able to extend myself in ways I never thought possible. I particularly like the use of props which enable the body to stay in alignment. I highly recommend The Yoga Temple to anyone interested in yoga – it is a life changing experience.

The Yoga Temple offers true Iyengar Yoga, this style of yoga has improved my wellbeing and vitality considerably. Iyengar Yoga is a very unique system with a strong focus on body alignment and strengthening in the postures which is what appeals to me. You can't cut corners with this style, to achieve maximum benefits I fully endorse this refreshing style of yoga.

When I first arrived in Manly I struggled to find a yoga class that matched the quality & content of the classes I had come to take for granted in England. When ‘The Yoga Temple’ opened I had high hopes that it would fit the bill ~ it has in fact far exceeded my expectations. The environment is spacious, relaxing and the teaching of Iyengar Yoga is of the highest standard for all levels. Classes flow with a warm, spiritual ambience, adapting to suit individual needs without any disruption to others. ‘The Yoga Temple’ is exactly what I have been looking for.

I have done many types of yoga in my life and gone to many classes with many different teachers. The Yoga Temple is a very professional and highly accredited school. My body feels less resistant and having endured years of back pain, my visits to the osteopath have become almost non existent. My energy level is higher yet calmer and my mind is quiet.

As a bricklayer in my late 30s and having surfed all my life, my body aches, pains and problems have gradually got worse in recent years. Since I started regular classes at the Yoga Temple , I am more flexible, am less likely to pull muscles in the surf, and have noticed a distinct improvement in the lower back pain I suffer, which is caused by a compressed disc. Both Shri and Padman know I have back problems and advise me on how to accommodate that in classes. My health has definitely improved since I started Iyengar yoga.

Both Shri and Padman approach their classes with a high degree of clarity and professionalism. It is like 3 classes are packed into one, and I feel I am getting so much out of each class. The guidance is gentle, yet reassuring. They have a way of assisting with corrections and offering support where necessary. Their approach is incredibly focused, yet the atmosphere is one of warmth and sincerity.

Shri and Padman have created a very lovely yoga space to complement their excellent teaching. Iyengar Yoga’s focus on bodily alignment has assisted me to improve posture, flexibility, and the shape of my body. I have also eliminated a lower back and hip problem that has plagued me for years. I really love having Iyengar Yoga as a part on my life.

I was recommended to start practicing Yoga to improve my flexibility and overall strength. I was lucky enough to start at The Yoga Temple where the teachers are focused on conducting Iyengar classes with precise professional instruction in a relaxed atmosphere. With each new class I achieve better body alignment, flexibility and personal gain through practice of the asanas. I particularly enjoy the breathing techniques of Iyengar Yoga. The calming benefits of meditation leave me feeling refreshed and energized.

Having practiced yoga on and off for 20 years, I have found the Iyengar method the most interesting, inspiring and rewarding. I particularly like the attention to alignment in the asanas
and the use of props allows me to understand and get the benefits of postures I wouldn't be
able to accomplish on my own. The harmonious atmosphere at The Yoga Temple supports a
focused and very enjoyable class.

I started Iyengar yoga at the Yoga Temple 9 months ago and It has changed
me in a number of ways, all positive. I have finally found relief from
chronic back pain which I was finding increasingly difficult to manage and
now I have better flexibility and strength while feeling physically fitter.
Iyengar Yoga has also helped me find mental focus, clarity and balance which has brought calmness and lack of tension. I utterly recommend the classes at
the Yoga temple, which are a taught by highly professional, experienced
and friendly teachers in a well-equipped, calm and pleasant space".

I have found Yoga practice to be the
best way of managing back pain.
Iyengar teachers have extensive knowledge and experience on the effect
of Yoga practice and its effect on the
body and mind. We are privileged to have such professional and dedicated
Iyengar teachers in the Manly area. The Yoga Temple is such a beautiful open space to practice yoga in.

The benefits of Iyengar Yoga are many and varied. After every class you walk out feeling refreshed and revitalized. Padman and Shri create a calm and relaxing envrionment and their instruction on the various positions and nuances of Iyengar yoga are world class, with a focus on both physical and mental alignment.

I come to Australia to visit my daughter, Cath, and this is the second time I have attended a series of Iyengar Yoga classes. I had done a little yoga in England but was very much a beginner, and when my daughter suggested I attend a yoga class with her I was very apprehensive because of the wide gap in age and ability. I found that Iyengar yoga has very calming effect, yet manages to stretch ones ability.

Our modern lives are filled with many distractions and endless stimulations. It is a rare pleasure to find a place of peace and learning. With the establishment of the Yoga Temple Shri and Padman created an oasis in the midst of life’s many complexities. If you are looking to rejuvenate your health through disciplined practice of their Iyengar Yoga not only will you gain internal physical strength but your spirit will be renewed.
