I couldn’t believe my luck to be hosting such a workshop, to share this amazing gift that is Iyengar yoga with ‘so many people’ and that Peter Thomson would come fo r actually such a small group of people. Everyone was so happy!
[/et_pb_text][/et_pb_column][/et_pb_row][/et_pb_section]So here we are, in 1996, after Peter Thomson’s workshop (he is leaning against the wall). Rian who’s ute it was is holding the sign. And Phil is there leaning against the bonnet. Phil was a student who believed in Yoga and the good it could bring the community. He was instrumental in getting us moving from Aralia street to our current stunning studios. He crushed the numbers for me and assured me with beaming confidence: ‘You can do it’!We are in the dirt car park outside our little yoga shed in Aralia street. The exuberance is palpable! That’s because not everyone has the interest aka financial incentive (and it’s got no glamour) in coming to Darwin to teach us, play music for us, dance for us. So when someone comes we tend to appreciate it more.

The place and its people are down to earth and not hung up on social class structure in general too much.

It deserves a showing on its own because I love this photo which was taken at the end of one of the first Iyengar Yoga workshops in Darwin. On top of being in love with yoga I had just fallen in love with Darwin and the photo represent so many things that people love about Darwin.
