So you came to Bondi Beach and want to do some yoga? No surprise there, this beachside town is a…read morehot spot for health, fitness and good looking flexible hotties from the young to the, well, less young (but still arguably fitter than a lot of people in the thirties elsewhere). Having mentioned my yoga tendencies to our air bnb host, we're staying in Bondi for a month during our twelve month working holiday, she keenly handed over two free class passes to BodyMindLife Yoga. Having walked past the studio a few times and enquired about their starter offer for $48 which to me is great value for unlimited 30days yoga, considering you've all the time in the world when on holiday here, I was keen to see what it was like inside. They have a range of classes to choose from and if you ask you can find out which teachers are suitable to your level of experience. We started with a essentials at 28degrees practice, there's also the open practice which is available at 28 or 30 degrees and yin yoga, meditation is also available. Being that in England I found practicing flow yoga in a church hall during winter too hot, I wasn't sure what to expect when you turned the temperature up to what is essentially a heatwave in England, I bought a towel and large bottle of water in anticipation. (I can tell you now, I sweat my arse off, so I'd advise you do the same.) The women were lovely, a quick tour of the place, a few guidelines on etiquette, which I always appreciate - there's nothing worse than someone distracting your meditation with a phone going off of whispering. Though two women didn't fully embody this attitude at the start of the lesson and I did feel distracted from settling into my space. Essentials class is there to introduce the key poses to those newer to yoga and fully emphasise the posture and alignment of poses to those who practice. For myself I found this really helpful, there was both an instructor and assistant who would come and adjust your pose to the correct alignment and my god do you feel it in certain positions. For others I think the basic process of movement into the pose was really beneficial. I am used to vinyasa or flow yoga, this class actually holds poses for a lot longer so the focus on core muscle strength is intense but really I found it helpful to come back to basics and recognise the muscles that need to be engaged and focus on my alignment. I would advise this for anyone at any level to refresh and refine your key poses. This class for me didn't hold much mental relief as I was holding so much concentration on extended poses and my alignments that I actually forgot to breathe at times and at other times my breath ran away from me, occasionally we were encouraged to bring it back with deep inhales and exhales in between, I would just say if your looking for a mental stretch and relax then a different choice of class would be more beneficial - I haven't tried the others as of yet so I can't advise on those, but as a company they seem friendly, capable and clean. I definitely feel like I've had a good work out and found myself a few new muscles to engage! Namaste.

I recently got an intro pass to check out their pilates reformer class. A few notes:…read more Pros: -they offer many reformer classes daily with varying levels (Align, Flow, Dynamic) -clean studio -variety of instructors -intro pass was a great deal ($48/4 reformer classes) Cons: -Difficult to reach via phone, I called several times and left a message but never got a return call. I had to actually go in person to have my questions answered -They do require you to take a basic reformer class (Align) prior to advancing to their more difficult classes. This is great if you are a newbie, however, if you have any basic understanding of the reformer, you will find this unnecessary and a waste of an hour as you may not get much of a workout -they are super strict about their late policy. I was only 3 minutes late and was told I could not join the reformer class. I understand 10-15 min late, but under 5 minutes...really? A bit unnecessary given it only takes 30 seconds to adjust the reformer bed to your height, meh :/

I took an 08:00 mixed levels class (drop ins are $19; your first month is $49 unlimited) on Saturday morning lead by Rosh. Including myself, the class had seven students so there was no jostling for space among us. The class was a very nice way to start the day. For the most part vinyasas were optional and Rosh - who trained in Anusara - did a great job of building up to an advanced posture (if you dig that sort of journey you will enjoy her teaching).

Let me tell you something about Preshana Yoga: it's a PHENOMENAL studio that embodies everything…read morethat you'll need. I'd always pass by it and seen the upstairs from Oxford Street opposite the road. But it was only a few months ago that I came here thanks to a friend who recommended that I try it out. Luckily, during that time, a promo was running that I took advantage of and afterwards, I renewed because Preshana is truly something special. I can honestly say that it's changed my life for the better through the knowledgeable and extraordinary instructors who will challenge you. Yoga is not just physical, it's a whole package: mind, body, and spirit and that's the very reason why I love it! It's not always easy but if you're open to it, this is a space that cultivates change and evokes you to dig deep within yourself and grow from it. Heart Glow by Kelli and Release & Re-align (and other classes) by Vanessa are the ones I highly frequent and recommend. Their style of teaching is different from one another but I adore their individual styles because it resonates with me. But give the other classes and instructors a go. Preshana Yoga is a down-to-earth studio and definitely something I recommend. LOVE | PEACE | BLISS = that's Preshana Yoga for you. Namaste!

Sounds straight forward except the room is heated to a temperature of 40 degrees with high humidity. The practice has a real cult following and this studio teaches the very same methods and techniques you will find in any certified Bikram Yoga studio across the globe. The room is large and never cramped which allows you your own personal space to perform your own way. The staff here are incredibly friendly and great you personally by name and if they don't know you they make an effort to ask your name so they will remember next time. They are mostly ladies and happy to answer any questions. The studio rents its own towels and mats if you need for only $2 which is very good considering that prob cost you just as much if you had to wash your own after each class. Toilet and changing room facility's are clean but the mens changing room needs a blow dryer. That's really my only issue. The studio offers a lot of different price options from single classes to yearly membership.

There are a lot of instructors so you will have to find your favorite and give other instructors a shot if you're unhappy with your first experience. I LOVE SUZY. She is amazing. You will definitely love her. The other instructors are pretty unfriendly, but that shouldn't deter you because the classes are fine. You can rent a mat for $2 and a towel for an additional $2. Unlike other places I've been, lots of students do this so it feels very acceptable. If you're a beginner considering trying this place, there are a few things you should know: (1) There is a first-time Bikram student in every class without fail, so you will not feel alone at being a newb. I've never been in classes with so many beginners, and it was comforting as I don't know what I'm doing. (2) The classes are huge, so you will get less firsthand attention than you will at other studios. After doing it for a couple weeks, I was frustrated at how little they were helping out first timers with really important and obvious adjustments. You might find this lack of attention frustrating. (3) There is a 10 day pass for $20. It's a steal, so you should try Bikram out here to see if you like this style of yoga in general.
