She started yoga with three practices a day when she was 26 and spent two months with BKS Iyengar in India in 1977 while he was still teaching classes. She co-founded the Balmain Iyengar Yoga Studio in 1980 and has been director and principal teacher there ever since. Pixie also teaches in New Zealand and Europe and continues to go back to study with the Iyengars on an almost yearly basis.

It was nice hearing Pixie’s voice. Well done on the podcast.
Pixie has been my teacher for almost 1.5 decades before I moved overseas. She has made a tremendous difference in my life.
Even when my life was challenging she was there with me in my practice.
We talk of lineage in Iyengar yoga and I very grateful to have Simon another student of Pixie’s as my mentor as well as Pixie. To listen to this podcast confirmed a lot of things for me and strengthened my connection. Thank you Linda for bringing Pixie to me for more then an hour even though I know live half a world away.
Thanks Petra – I’m glad I was able to bring Pixie to you. Thanks for your kind words, it’s great to know that my friends are listening to the podcast and appreciating it. Much love to you.
