Community Yoga - All Levels Welcome

A gentle yet nourishing class to share with family, friends and the Ashtanga Yoga Centre of Melbourne Community.

We will move mindfully and deliberately through a sequence of accessible postures, allowing for more challenge where appropriate and covering the fundamental principles of the 8 Limbs Yoga system (postural alignment, simple breathing techniques, use of gaze points and internal muscle contractions to support the spine and organs).

This class is suitable for beginner practitioners, anyone returning to Yoga after a break or injury - modifications and variations will be provided - and regular students looking for a "back-to-basics" kind of class.

If you struggle with low energy levels, blood pressure issues or issues standing for prolonged periods of time, please let us know in advance, so we can make sure to keep your body safe and happy with a modified practice.

About our Studio

Born out of the bonds of close friendships and dedication to our traditional practice, the Ashtanga Yoga Centre offers a warm and inviting home for all of our students, whether new or established in the lineage.

Our Shala is a beautiful and serene space, used by Yogis several times a day, and humming with their energy long after they've left.

With three practice studios, honeyed real wood floors and high ceilings, we host a wide variety of classes, workshops, community and social events. Huge windows spill natural light into the main studio, making it a creative, reflective and energising space.

A communal kitchen infused with the aroma of home-brewed Chai tea has become a fond memory for Yogis around the globe as a place to share stories and experiences after practice.

Our generous space also includes changing facilities with toilets and showers, and mat storage facilities for our regular members. Visiting students can borrow practice mats, Yoga blankets, straps, blocks and bolsters to assist in their class.
