Peter Thomson, Senior Iyengar Yoga Teacher

2026 Singapore Programme at Oasis Yoga

General Level Yoga Workshops
with Peter Thomson, Senior Iyengar Yoga Teacher
2024

The General workshops are for students of yoga with some experience (at least 12 months) who are ready and wanting to invest more seriously in their yoga and develop their fundamental understanding. It is not for beginners or new students to yoga who would be better off preparing with their existing teacher.

The workshops explore fundamental and essential principles of yoga practice in the context of their practical application. The aim is to provide students with an intelligent and safe reference for their ongoing yoga development along with some sense of where that development might go and how it might proceed.
Peter is a very experienced and highly skilled teacher of yoga in the Iyengar tradition. The opportunity to receive this guidance from him is a valuable opportunity for those seeking to establish themselves in the practice of yoga.

Students who are more experienced and have prior consistent attendance may apply for the Level 2 Intensive.

Dates
1) 8 to 10 March 2024
2) 30 August to 1 September 2024

About Peter Thomson:
Peter has been practicing yoga since 1979 and a student of the Iyengar family since 1981. He has traveled to Pune to study at the Iyengar Institute well over 20 times and has been a participant in most special intensives and courses at the Institute over the years, including (notably) the backbend intensive with Mr. Iyengar in 1991.

Peter is one of Australia's most senior and most experienced teachers and practitioners and has been heavily involved in the development of Iyengar yoga both in Australasian and more recently in the South-East Asian region. This is so in terms of basic teaching but also in terms of teacher training and certification processes.

Peter’s particular interest in the practice and teaching of yoga is the depth of perception, inquiry and understanding that sustained practice can develop and in making that understanding directly accessible to students so they can claim it as their own in their practice and in their lives.

Level 2 Yoga Intensives
with Peter Thomson, Senior Iyengar Yoga Teacher
2024

Peter Thomson is conducting 2 intensives for teachers and experienced students at Oasis in 2024.

These intensives are aimed specifically at the needs of teachers, teachers-in-training and experienced to advanced students. They are not suitable for new or recent students to yoga or to the Iyengar method. The general workshops are there for that purpose. As a guide all students are expected to be engaged in their own practice and should be accomplished in sirsasana and sarvangasana.

Peter's particular approach is process or practice-based rather than prescriptive or conceptual and is built off the establishment of clear perceptual foundations that support our on-going yoga development. It demands therefore (and relies on) continuity of attendance and process. All participants in these intensives are therefore required to attend all 2 sessions for the year unless otherwise expressly negotiated with Peter.

Dates
1) 11 to 15 March 2024
2) 2 to 6 September 2024

Peter Thomson has been practicing yoga since 1979, and has been a student of the Iyengar family since 1981. He had early yoga experiences in Sydney, London and Japan, before heading to Pune itself. Peter went on to found or co-found a number of significant schools in Sydney — The Yoga Space, The Sydney Yoga Centre, Mosman Yoga Room, the Glebe Yoga School, and finally, Sydney Yoga Space. From 2007, his teaching has focused on intensive courses for yoga students and teachers around Australasia, and on practice-based retreats. Peter is keenly interested in the depth of perception that sustained practice can develop. He teaches in a way which aims at making that practice-based understanding accessible to students so they can claim it for themselves.

Thank you all for participating and see you on the mat!
