THE JOURNEY INWARD Elevating Inversions, Pranayama and Inner Vitality with Peter Scott
WS3130
12 - 14 December 2025 | Starstreet Precinct - Wan Chai
ABOUT
The Journey Inward
Inversions and Pranayama are essential for advancing your yoga practice, unlocking the essence of long-term mind/body health and well-being. These practices re-energise, revitalise, and restore focus, equanimity and compassion. Unique to yoga, inverted poses counteract the effects of gravity to re-circulate blood and energy. However, they require heightened perception and awareness. Pranayama, in particular, taps into deep reservoirs of energy.
This workshop will guide participants in developing and advancing their inversions and pranayama practices through the actions cultivated in other asana groups (asana families).
Nourishing the Spine and Nervous System
This workshop emphasises resetting, reconnecting and reactivating abdominal actions (jatara kriya) to nourish the spine and nervous system. Contrary to the misconception that abdominal action is about tightening the abs, we explore refined techniques to avoid unnecessary tension and congestion that can negatively impact digestive and reproductive health.
Participants will learn how abdominal actions in standing poses and twists elevate inversion practice, building confidence and strength for variations. The workshop also introduces foundational pranayama techniques in supine poses with breath awareness, progressing to seated poses for greater subtlety.
Participants will learn:
- Standing Poses & Inversions:
- Utilise leg actions to activate and lift in inversions.
- Strengthen the spine for stability in inversions, enhancing pranayama practice by building nervous system capacity.
- Open the chest in standing poses to improve breath circulation and awareness.
- Twists & Abdominal Actions:
- Move abdominal muscles in various directions through twists.
- Link standing and seated twists to twisting variations in inversions.
- Tone abdominal muscles and organs while creating space to prevent tension.
- Pranayama Practice:
- Develop breath retention (Kumbhaka) after inhalation (antara) and exhalation (bahya) in seated pranayama with deep twists.
- Use appropriate abdominal actions to prevent prana congestion and restriction.
Pre-requisite
This workshop is designed for students with at least 3 years of yoga experience who regularly practise Sirsasana (Headstand) and Sarvangasana (Shoulderstand).

About Peter Scott
For over 40 years, Peter has immersed himself in the study and teaching of Iyengar Yoga since a simple café poster in San Francisco re-directed his path as a young sports enthusiast. His teaching embodies a rare fusion of deep technical knowledge, intuitive insight, and compassionate guidance—honed through decades of practice with the Iyengar family and students worldwide.
Peter’s classes are living laboratories of exploration. With precision and warmth, he unravels postures to reveal their anatomical, philosophical and Ayurvedic layers. Women in particular resonate with his nuanced approach to cyclical body wisdom—a gentle continuation of Geeta Iyengar’s teachings. Whether guiding beginners or advanced practitioners, he replaces rigidity with mindful enquiry, helping students shed limiting habits and discover their body’s innate poetry.
As former president of Iyengar Yoga Australia and an international examiner, Peter remains a devoted student at heart. His teaching illuminates that moment when breath, alignment and awareness converge—when a quiet sigh signals the spark of understanding. This is the essence he has cultivated for four decades: not privilege, but sacred service to yoga’s transformative power.
