What class did you try? I tried a mat Pilate's class with a short relaxation at the end…read more How many people were in the class? 5 of us plus instructor What equipment and facilities are there? You go up the stairs to the right to enter and the bathrooms are down the hall. I don't recall there being change rooms but there is water, table and brnches to rest, cubby holes and all equipment provided for (mats, bolsters, blocks, foam rollers). The first area of the studio is reception and reformers and then the yoga/barre/Pilate's is at the back room. What was not so good? Parking at Camberwell and people with physical disabilities may find it difficult to get up the stairs (not sure if there is an elevator). Level of happiness: 10/10 going to mat Pilate's...to be honest I never really liked Pilate's but now I'm getting it more. I don't sweat like crazy but my muscles burn baby burn if you do it right. So I guess it is about finding the right teacher who can explain it in a way I get it. This place explained it well so thumbs up.

I love this place! I've been to a lot of different yoga studios in my time and I have never felt so…read morecomfortable than I have at Jessica Dewar Yoga. The head teacher, Jess is not only an excellent teacher but she just knows how to make you feel both supported and motivated to train hard. On top of this, a majority of the classes are donation based and allows other teachers from Melbourne and interstate to teach at the studio. It just ends up creating a really exciting atmosphere and an awesome community of people. Love love love this place!

As a newcomer to yoga in my late 30s, I was looking for somewhere less intimidating than many…read morestudios I found. After a couple of years of physical injuries, anxiety, depression and weight gain, I found myself needing somewhere I wouldn't feel so uncomfortable in my current state. I found this studio and loved the ethos, and her background in physical therapy made me feel confident enough to book the 4 week beginner course. If you're struggling with things that make it difficult to attend group classes, I hear you. Every week took me an hour of coaxing myself out of the house. It was worth it. Every student is in the same boat relatively, the classes are small, and for someone not used to group classes, it helps with motivation far more than I ever thought! Both Jessica and Tegan are great teachers. They listened to my concerns with my back injuries. You can sit out poses you just aren't up for, and they offer slightly different techniques for back injuries. There's a big emphasis on accessibility - physical, financial - for everyone which is what drew me in, and having been through it, it's legit. There's gentle encouragement without feeling pushed. I'm writing this in case it helps other people in similar situations. It can be so intimidating and overwhelming to know where to start but I never felt anything less welcome here. :)

I've set myself a one month bodypass challenge to try go to as many classes around Melbourne and…read morethis morning I attended Vinyasa Flow at Elevation Floatation and Yoga which is really close to the Rivoli Cinema and Firechief Pizzeria in Camberwell. Be mindful there is roadside parking or head to the massive parking lot out the back behind Dan Murphy's/Coles but make sure you read parking instructions as Camberwell ticketers are brutal. Moving onto the venue...simple and bright the entrance is a communal table serving as an office and reception and I believe there are three floatation pods out the back. I did not get to try this as it is not part of bodypass but I really want to give the pods a go! Our Vinyasa class was upstairs and there were only 2 of us this morning so the instructor was quite flexible and spent time getting to know us and what we wanted to do. As I sit down most of the day and the other participant stood lots we got some really good back + shoulder stretches, hip openers and hamstring stretches. We were encouraged to use props (mats, foam block, bolster, straps) to help us get into correct positioning and at the end there was a relaxation component. Great class with a wonderfully supportive instructor - a studio I would gladly visit again.

Health and Yoga Melbourne is located up the staircase between snap fitness and is a perfect place…read moreto start your morning! I have done 2 classes here with Owner/Instructor Roman who is super patient and inviting and you will get something out of a class with him no matter your fitness level. Class 1: Gentle Qi Gong - As we were headed towards a long weekend, I had this class all by myself and Roman was good enough to still take me through the whole hour. I had never tried Qi Gong and really had no expectations but I was hoping it would be a relaxing and almost gentle dance like and it certainly was. Class 2: Chi Yoga - slightly faster paced Qi Gong combined with yoga really helps warm up the body for a busy day ahead. This class had around 7 people and they were all regulars but very friendly and introductions were quickly made. I enjoyed both classes and would encourage people to try a class here with Roman as is good at showing you how to not overdo "poses" but really use your breath and core to get the most out of your class. Note: not parking lots, street parking and be careful of clearway signs. Change room available and workshops are often run here.
