See that grocery store? Go to the left and up the stairs and you will find Summer Healing!…read more Leave your shoes outside along the corridor and head into the studio to check in. I used Classpass to try it out and enjoy all the classes I have participated in. The studio itself is homey and not fancy but it gets the job done. The toilets are shared with other offices so I would suggest you arrive in your yoga gear and bring your mat otherwise you need to rent one. The studio provides blocks, straps and bolsters but water is not always available to make sure you bring a bottle! The instructors are friendly and always happy to provide options just keep in mind the classes can be very full so make sure you tell them about any injuries or if you need another option for your level. A few things I don't like so much: the studio can get really hot in the summer, there is a piano school next door so you often hear children having their lessons as the walls are quite thing, sometimes it gets a bit squishy as they are getting more popular. So far, my favorite classes are the sound healing + meditation and also their basics class.

This will be a copy-paste from the Balwyn North store, as the review is applicable to both!…read more Light Space Yoga is a relatively new-ish yoga studio situated in the otherwise minimally yoga-serviced suburbs of Mitcham and Balwyn North. Beautiful in design, they are quite cookie-cutter in their gorgeous simplicity, reminiscent of other architecturally-designed, light-filled, ply-wood clad nouveau yoga studios of Melbourne. But, if something has been done well before somewhere else, why not do it again somewhere new! And the team at Light Space DO it very well. Peaceful, slow-paced, the studios are upstairs, and as you do your tree-pose you'll find yourself gazing ahead at the trees themselves, a lovely change from some of the inner-city studios. There are lovely touches about too, a little reading area with books, a free organic fruit bowl.. at an easter vinyasa class we arose from our shavasana to find the easter-bunny had come and delivered us all wee chocolate eggs and aphorism cards (that cheeky bunny!!)! The teachers are really great, the classes are exactly what I was after (vinyasa and yin), and you can expect gentle music in your class, in a room with the lingering scent of nag champa and to be roused from your corpse pose by the ringing of a singing bowl. If you're in these areas, or you can get to them, I would highly recommend Light Space. I wish I was still living closer so I could keep going!!
