Led Practice
Led Practice
Led Practice is open to regular students at Hamilton Yoga only. Led practice is not a class but a weekly practice session for experienced students.
Led practice is as the name suggests, not a regular class with a teacher. Led practice rather provides a way to transform a student from receiving instructions in class to developing their own practice, which is what lies at the heart of becoming a practitioner of yoga.
One of our experienced students will often lead the session by calling the pose name of a predeveloped sequence and demonstrating it. No further instructions are given.
Attendance to our led practice sessions is free for those with a Standard or Dedicated Membership, or can be attended by purchasing a led practice pass.

Why we chant
Chanting at the beginning of our experienced yoga classes has been a regular feature at our yoga school over the decades. The chanted Invocation to Patanjali is a very centering practice before the beginning of each yoga practice.
Story of a Newcastle yoga teacher
I often get asked this question, "What do you do for work?". When I reply that I am a full-time yoga teacher in Newcastle, many more unspoken questions arise. In reality, there is not a simple answer to this question.
The Wall is Our Friend in Iyengar Yoga
The wall is probably one of the most versatile props that can be used in yoga based on our individual needs. It provides gentle support, is great for restorative work, or can provide that extra challenge. Making use of this in the practice of yoga can prove to be an invaluable asset to facilitate self-correction and learning.
