I absolutely adore this studio. Such a warm and welcoming place. Everyone is so friendly, and they…read morehave a really in-depth knowledge of yoga and anatomy. I feel very comfortable practicing yoga there.

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.

This is the best place in Melbourne for to start and maintain your fitness through both Pilates and…read moreYoga. Don't miss the reformer classes, I can't even say how much working out on a reformer has increased my core strength and helped me reconnect my self to my body after too long not being fit. Jodie, one of the instructors will make you feel right at home. My other favourite teacher, Mel, always knows exactly how to correct my form when I am off balance. I highly recommend this Studio to anyone wishing to find a place where they feel right at home. NO PRETENTIOUSNESS, Just FITNESS!

I've been doing kx pilaties for over a year on and off due to injuries…read more Love kx pilaties great full body workout if you do it 3x a week with a bit of cardio plus a decent diet you will notice a change in your body shape It's great for that toned look Today I tried kx barre for the first time which is a mix of ballet/pilaties and yoga If that sounds easy to you prepare for the burn it's quite a challenge using your body weight hand weights and a squishy ball to balance I found it to be a great workout and actually found it harder then the kx pilaties class probally because I'm used to it even though I had 4 months off I would alternate and do both a week as they are complimentary

They offer clinics on everything from inversions to meditation and everything in between. Definitely worth your visit.

And I reckon Yogascentials has got all the right ingredients. Firstly, a supportive teacher - Maghie, the yoga instructor here, has trained for over 20 years and has a natural knack for teaching and offering guidance. Then, each class duration is 1.5 hours, which I reckon is the ideal length for a yoga class - long enough for your muscles to get warm and stretchy, to work on breathing technique, and to enjoy well-deserved relaxation/meditation. And finally, the room at Yogascentials is pleasantly lit, a good size for class numbers, and is clean. Yoga mats and other equipment are provided, but if you're going to practice yoga regularly, it is well worth it to buy your own mat. Casual classes are $17 or you can purchase a 10-class pass for $150. Alternatively, sign up for a 10-week course for $150. And there are classes to suit all levels of yogis. The number 1 and 8 trams stop outside on Lygon Street.
