Purna Yoga: Making Yoga Complete

John Ogilvie
17 – 23 October, 2010

John teaches a style of yoga called Purna, a Sanskrit word meaning ‘complete’, ‘integrated’ or ‘full’. He seeks to integrate all 8 limbs (Ashtanga) of yoga the way it was originally taught, more than 3000 years ago in India. Yoga asanas, or postures, are just one of these limbs. The other limbs are equally important, including meditation, pranayama breath control, and the personal and social code of ethics, the yamas and niyamas. Each yoga session includes the physical postures, pranayama and meditation.

John believes the practice of yoga is intended to be joyful and to lighten the heart and mind by calming and energising. He encourages students at all levels to build flexibility, strength and stamina of body, mind and spirit. Yoga philosophies, such as ahimsa (non violence), are threaded throughout each class. This helps bring about a deeper understanding of the key yogic values including diet and lifestyle aspirations. His practice is challenging, yet he offers variations of each posture to suit students of all levels.

John Ogilvie is one of those rare people you meet with whom you feel an almost instant heart connection. There is a glint in his eyes that tells of an inner-spring of joy and a hint of boyish cheekiness. His presence is one of yogic lightness developed over twenty years of regular yoga practice.

John is one of Australia’s most respected and experienced teachers, and founder of Byron Bay’s long-time yoga school, Byron Yoga Centre, established in 1988. He teaches regular classes as part of the weekly timetable and heads up a popular teacher training program at the school, attracting students from around the world, who come to learn from his years of experience.
