We are The Yoga Factory est. 2007

A yoga school and community in the heart of Sydney’s Inner West.

Our primary purpose is to make the teachings of yoga accessible to everyone. All you need to do is come regularly. Yoga, in turn, as it has for thousands of years, will improve every aspect of your being immeasurably.

We offer daily regular yoga classes: Level I for newer students and Level II for more advanced practitioners.

We also regularly run a Beginner Yoga Course, Yoga Teacher Training, Post-Graduate Training (Mentoring), and a Yoga Course for Pre-Teens and Teens.

Additionally, occasional yoga workshops and special events are happening at the school — an opportunity to deepen your practice and theoretical understanding of yoga and connect with the community.

WHAT WE TEACH

Yoga is a science, therefore, it is important how the yoga practice is put together.

At our school, we practice the 8 limb path of yoga. In modern times this path is more commonly known as Vinyasa, a dynamic yoga practice with an emphasis on breathing.

The 8 limb path of yoga has a foundation of repetitive asana which not only lends itself to familiarity but also gives the student an opportunity to evolve safely along the path of practice. This is hugely important. Too often students of all levels are thrown into gymnastic-style classes that are continually and randomly changed by the teacher. 

Each limb of the 8-limb path is very specific. When it is followed, attention is drawn continually to a holistic approach. Nothing is overlooked. We become very observant of our minds, bodies, and breath.

The asana content of the yoga practice is gradual. We ascribe to the use of props and modifications, so students can experience asana without injury, fear, or pressure to perform in a competitive environment.

Your practice can be as strong and challenging or as graceful and nurturing as you would like it to be. We take the utmost care in guiding each and every student through the practice in a way that is suited to their needs.

There is absolutely nothing arbitrary about the 8 limbs of Patanjali’s yoga. The path begins in our world, all the things we touch, smell, name, and interact with. Our world being a reflection of internal machinations. Once we get on the 8-lim

When it comes to teaching yoga, there are two paths you can take. One is to register for any training, possibly with the least effort involved, maybe even online, or perhaps, go somewhere wild for a month to make your training a holiday. This way, yo
Years have passed since MS wrote those words, the contemporary yoga has been through countless metamorphoses. But still, like everything else, it is stuck in a vicious circle of the fear of sameness. It keeps trying to reinvent itself in the race for
