NOOSA YOGA CENTRE
Founded in 1988, Noosa Yoga Centre is Noosa’s longest establish yoga studio. Owned & operated by Di & Jeff Campbell, the studio offers classes based on the teachings of B.K.S. Iyengar.
Iyengar Yoga is dynamic, physical and rejuvenating, and we cater to students of all levels of experience, age and fitness – with an aim to make yoga accessible to all bodies at all stages of life.
Hosting intimate classes in our small studio, we create a personalised experience for every student and supply all the required props including mats, straps, blocks, bolsters and wall ropes.
YOUR TEACHERS
We are two of Noosa’s most experienced Iyengar yoga practitioners, here to guide you to improved health and mindfulness.
After 20 years at our premise in Noosa Junction, we made the difficult decision to close the studio in late 2019 to focus on our family – our son’s autoimmune disease required a live kidney donation from Di (Jeff having previously donated a kidney in 2012). Happy, healthy and recovered, we’ve reopened Noosa Yoga Centre as a home studio, welcoming students from January 2020.
In both yoga and life, balance is important – as we age (gracefully), we are shifting our focus to offer intimate classes to our beloved students four days per week. Our methodology is simple – we offer structured classes in a peaceful setting to ensure each student gets the most out of their practice.
YOGA
Yoga is an ancient art, science and philosophy for the well-being of all mankind. In the West, the best known form of yoga is Hatha Yoga in which physical postures and the breath are used to move the mind towards meditation. Yoga is not a religion but a deeply spiritual practice that can be done by people of any religion or by those with no religion at all.
B.K.S. IYENGAR
Asanas, or physical postures are used to calm and quieten the mind and bring energy, health, and vibrancy to the body. B.K.S. Iyengar is an internationally renowned Yoga master who lived in Pune, India. He is considered the world’s foremost authority on yoga and in 2004 was listed by Time magazine as one of the 100 most influential people in the world.
Until shortly before his passing on August 20, 2014 at the age of 95, Mr Iyengar continued to practice, teach & write about yoga daily. The body of work he has created is enormous and has demystified and developed yoga into its most accessible form. People from all over the world and from all types of yoga are continually influenced and inspired by his practice, dedication and knowledge.
The Iyengar Yoga system has developed from over 80 years of dedicated practice, teaching experience and study of classical yoga and medical science. He is the author of the classic texts, Light on Yoga and Light on Pranayama.
