Blye was first introduced to Iyengar Yoga in the mid 1980’s and she knew from the beginning that it would always play a big part. During the busy period of bringing up her children, yoga study and practice were reduced to reading books and attending classes sporadically. It was not until 2003 that regular classes became possible again. In 2005 she first began attending classes at the Sydney Yoga Space with Iyengar Yoga teacher Peter Thomson. The importance of ‘intelligent action’ that runs through all Peter’s classes began to give some understanding that dedicated yoga practice can be life, and culture changing.

She has attended numerous intensives and workshops with Peter in Bali, Thailand, and Sydney as well as an ongoing teacher development program which provides a forum to a community of teachers globally. The training that these meetings provide help immensely with teaching students about the subtle aspects of yoga practice.
