After a busy day at work on my feet I booked in for a session of Yin Yoga at the Yoga Corner using…read moremy Bodypass. It was exactly what I needed! You have to find the place first though so here are a few tips: it is opposite the RACV shop and on the left hand side of Bagel works...you need to go down the escalators and it is the first left with a yellow sign in the window. Yoga corner focuses on hot yoga, hot basics, power vinyasa, yin yoga/meditation and even prenatal. There are heaps of different membership options and you don't need to bring a mat as this is included along with corck blocks, straps and bolsters. The facilities: there is 1 practice room, change rooms with showers, and the toilets are located outside of the shop. They lock the shop up during class so you don't really need lockers. The yin class was suitable for all levels of yogis and I'll admit I nearly fell asleep due to the ommmm soundtrack and warm environment (25c). Instructor Ariana was very patient and helpful letting everyone be comfortable and safe while getting getting the most out of your practice. Here you clean your own mat after class but our instructor let us all zone out for as long as we wanted after the class finished which was great! Will be back to try another class soon.

Pilates on Bourke is currently my favourite place for reformer classes. They are fairly small with…read moreonly 8 machines. This means lots of individual attention. And the instructors are super-helpful, not afraid to get hands on and complement you when you are getting better. The jumpboard classes are especially good, but I have not had a bad class here. I have also tried their barre class which was one of the better ones in the city. Natalya is really fun and her play list veers more into the pop territory, which is great for keeping the energy up during class.

I'll start by saying that I really like the concept of barre body & it's a great workout. The…read morereason for the lackluster score is twofold- 1. I think the price is utterly ridiculous & 2. There's no good 'beginner class' options which means people are more prone to injuring themselves due to lack of knowledge or technique. I did about 3 weeks of classes (and intro 2 week deal and a week afterwards) and went probably 9 times so I got a great overall view of the classes. The teachers were really lovely but a few moved far too quickly through the yoga components of the classes & I could see people struggling to keep up & rushing their poses to do so (which will lead to injury eventually). There was no explanation to newbies about the poses and no real extra attention paid to them. For those in the know the workout is excellent - it's quite lower limb heavy but different classes are varied and it is hard work- my butt & legs were killing me for days after each class!! The price. Woah. It's so expensive. Over $200 a month for unlimited classes! That's too much by anyone's standards. Their overheads are not that excessive. So what's my summary - eh, if you can afford it, do some yoga classes somewhere else first so you get to know the poses and then go nuts. You'll get a great workout with lovely teachers in a truly gorgeous space.

I admit I was pretty intimidated about the idea of doing a Barre class. I always thought it would…read morebe some kind of ballet show-off session with super toned chicks in impossibly skimpy outfits making me feel fat and frumpy. After some friends and my Pilates teacher filled me in on what REALLY goes on here, I thought I'd bite the bullet and give it a try with the two week $50 pass as a way to shake up my exercise regime. I'm really glad I did and can confirm a few things for anyone else wondering if they should take the plunge. 1) There's women of all shapes and sizes here. I once also saw a guy, but usually it's a women only affair. 2) Apart from the Barre that you use for some exercises and a couple of ballet terms, it's not very ballet/dancy at all. 3) The teachers are very kind and super lovely. There's none of that "look at me I'm so great" attitude you might get elsewhere. 4) The Barre Tone classes will make you sweat and work muscles in small but excruciating ways. 5) Your arms, legs and bum will look and feel better in just a month! I'm now attending two or three classes a week (mostly Barre Tone and Barre Body ones) and really love how it has improved my fitness, flexibility and strength in just a couple of months. The online booking system is very easy to use, though I wish you could book more than a week in advance as I like having my schedule organised a fortnight at a time. I also really like that I can use class credits in any of the Barre Body studios around Melbourne and Sydney as this gives me more flexibility when travelling.

I had the worst experience with this Studio - please know that the Yoga Place is no longer run in…read morethe West Melbourne space. It is held in a recreation centre. The teachers are lovely and enjoyed their class, but the organiser, Sue has left this place with a bad taste. I arrived for my beginners class and paid for the 4 classes. The organiser did not know the code to get into the recreation centre, and left us stranded on the street when class was meant to be starting. Her phone was dead and she claimed the code would be in her emails, so she went back home to go charge her phone in attempt to find the code. We waited about 25 minutes into the lesson time before giving up if she was coming back or not, no communication with the teacher of the class. Extremely unprofessional and inconsiderate of customer's time. I requested a refund for the one class at least and take a loss of the other 2 classes. Sue agreed but has not refunded me at all after a month of following up with her and no response. She finally responded only to request to remove this review then she will give me a refund. She is full of excuses and makes up false stories to try and get around taking blame. Don't waste your time on this studio - there are plenty of amazing yoga studios in Melbourne.

Even the resting poses felt like a work out to me! Having said that, by the end of the 12-week beginners program, I had significantly improved. That's all thanks to Frank, who knew to push me a little harder than I wanted to go and to give me little bits of encouragement when he could see my muscles shaking and the strain on my face, when the rest of the class looked as though they were peacefully meditating. Having now done two beginners courses at two different Yoga centres, both of which I have thoroughly enjoyed, I think Rathdowne Yoga's course was a little more intense than the one that I'm currently doing at Gertrude Street Yoga, so if you're looking for something a little more cruisey and relaxing I might suggest the later. But if you want to push yourself a little more (and are less interested in the meditative aspect of Yoga), Rathdowne Yoga is the place to go!
