Zen Yoga Central is run by Arjuna Roberts and he has designed an innovative and
progressive combination of Hatha yoga and Zen meditation derived from over sixteen
years of intensive practise, study, exploration and teaching.

YOGA

The yoga classes at Zen Yoga Central combine the alignment principles of Iyengar Yoga
with the energetic principles and flowing nature of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga, along with
influences from other styles including Sivananda Yoga and Satyananda Yoga. Our yoga
classes can range from very gentle nurturing practices through to vigourous and highly
energetic practices - all with a deep foundation and focus on meditative awareness.

Arjuna has trained with two of Australia's most highly regarded Yoga masters Nicky Knoff
(senior Iyengar & Ashtanga Yoga teacher) and Pixie Lillas (senior Iyengar Yoga teacher)
as well as Zen meditation masters (see below).

MEDITATION

Along with the study and practise of classical yoga Arjuna has been practising Zen with
two western masters since 2001, the first is Susan Murphy Roshi based in Sydney and
the other is Jun Po Denis Kelly Roshi based in the USA.

Arjuna is currently Australia's only Mondo Zen facilitator authorised by Zen Master Jun Po
Denis Kelly to teach his method of meditation practise and inquiry. Zen Yoga Central
hosts Jun Po's visit to Australia every year in March and he also takes part in teaching
a number of workshops and retreats throughout the year. (see www.mondozen.org for
more details on Jun Po Kelly)

KIRTAN (CHANTING)

Arjuna is also a musician (pianist and singer) and regularly leads chanting nights at the studio
with his band. His kirtan influences come primarily from the Siddha yoga and Satyananda
yoga lineages as well as USA kirtanists Krishna Das and Jai Uttal.
