Yoga Classes

I wrote a letter to my yoga practice. You can read it here.

I’m on a break from teaching public classes but when I’m back, there’ll be details here. Meanwhile, I highly recommend these studios: Manumission Yoga in Paddington, The Livingroom in Coogee, and Krama Yoga in Newtown.

My Approach

I support you in class to journey back to your true self.

Yoga isn’t about achieving a certain pose; it’s meant as a moving meditation. The breath and the body are your anchors whenever you get lost in a sea of thoughts.

As we move through an intuitive sequence – which builds on your muscle memory and feels fluid like a dance – I remind you to return to the present moment. You become lost, then you come back. Lost, then back. This is my invitation and I share it passionately.

I teach with traditional elements from Ashtanga Yoga, share reflections on the dharma (the truth of our nature), and allow a generous space for stillness and silence.

My hope is by the end of class, you will have returned home: to that spacious and empty place of pure awareness, your true nature, your essence.

Training

In 2019 I travelled to the island of Nusa Lembongan in Bali to deepen my practice, and was taught the Ashtanga Vinyasa method by David Adame of All Yoga School. I am devoted to practicing with various teachers in Sydney, learning great wisdom and technique by spending time with myself on my mat – the truest form of training.

Some Kind Words

Dear Margery, This studio and practice has transformed my life and ignited my love for yoga, and so much of that comes from you. I've loved being a part of the beautiful energy you create in every class. I'm not sure that any other classes will top yours, however I know that you have left a mark on how I will practice, wherever I am. Thank you for your support, the life lessons, the words of wisdom, and helping me become a better yogi. Lots of love always,

"Margery has a unique ability to immediately read and connect with her students. She, too, humbly assumes the role of student, but gently and fearlessly guides each class through any uncertainty or discomfort. You will leave each class of Margery’s feeling uplifted, positively challenged and whole – such is her impact. "

"Margery’s teaching brings me to a grounded sense of calm and alignment in body, mind and soul. Firmly rooted in time-honoured yogic lineage, her sequencing is balanced and thoughtful, offering a complete and nourishing practice, every time. She also often incorporates pranayama (breath work) to support the asana practice and dharmic sharing to reflect and inspire. Highly recommend!"

– Jane W.
"Margery is thoughtful and sincere towards her students, drawing the whole room in and making you feel at home. She has a way of challenging you while being lighthearted and fun. Her classes are like a dance - a delight to move through!"

“Margery never fails to pull you out of this mad world, ground you in breath and sensation, push you towards the potential of your strength and flexibility, and share an “uh huh” moment of wisdom and insight along the way.”
