Woah, I was hummed right into a state of utter relaxation! We opted for their most relaxing class…read moreand were not disappointed. A mix of yin and other less dynamic styles of yoga, and finishing with some meditation activities, I left feeling about five years younger! The interior is very chic and set-up much like a day spa, including free hairbands, towels for use and coconut water and tea on arrival. They even have lockers with phone chargers in them, hello 2016! Wish I lived in Melbourne so I could attend this studio's classes regularly.

I really do love it here. The studio is sleek and clean with heated polished concrete (Studio 1)…read moreto keep you warm while you sweat it up. There are 2 hot yoga studios (studio 2 located outside the main location) as well as hot pilates coming this week (again will be a seperate studio). The teachers are welcoming and always provide alternatives to poses, useful if you just can't get that bind right or you want to take your practice to the next level. Being an hour means you get a decent cardio workout, without it become too overwhelming or boring (like I found with Bikram). Embrace the heat.

The studio is just like in the pictures, clean, modern and fresh. However I found for my first two times to the studio, that the staff weren't very helpful in explaining the studio. Having to line up several times to ask questions, as they didn't tell me the info straight off. Studio 2 is also down the road, 2 doors down, supposedly you can't miss - which I did. While I loved the studio and the class, I felt the staff weren't the most helpful/friendly so I will continue the hunt for another hot yoga studio.

There are actually two areas to practice in this studio, one main downstairs space and a smaller upstairs studio. I have attended a few times here and teachers are great and they offer a good beginner's 6 weeks unlimited attendance course as well. Couple of cool things, they have clean toilet/shower facilities and you can leave your mat at the studio on the wall as long as it is clearly rolled/tied up and labeled. Be mindful it gets packed really easily so try to remember to book a spot as you might not be able to attend if you don't reserve!

In an attempt to mix things up a little I deviated away from my traditional, weekly exercise…read moreroutine and battled the heat in my very first Bikram Yoga class. Pre-Bikram nerves were raging, yet I was also excited for the challenge. I entered with little knowledge of the activity, other than that I was about to torture myself with ridiculous poses in a 40 degree Celsius room for 90 minutes. It's actually a wonder why anyone would be interested in such a thing. But let me assure you, even after one class I think it will be my new addiction. The facilities offered at the Prahran location were fantastic; clean rooms and super friendly staff keen to make your Bikram experience as comfortable as possible. I will warn you however, be prepared for the overwhelming smell of sweat that hits you in the face like a tonne of bricks the first second you walk in. Give it 5 or 10 minutes though and the smell somehow becomes normal...well, bearable at least. Interestingly, the turn-out of males in this class was overwhelming. I wondered if they actually knew what they were in for or if they had been dragged in by their 'other halves'. I powered through the class - for the first 60 minutes - yet completely struggled with the last half hour. By the time 8.15pm rolled around I was drenched and exhausted. Don't forget your yoga mat and especially not your water bottle. Another must is a towel. Trust me you will be wiping sweat out of places you didn't even know could sweat. Bonus* first-timers pay $19 for a 10 day trial. Yoga mats available to hire for $1.

The staff were super-friendly and the facility is charming and welcoming. I love the astro turf in the lobby area. Shower were great. They also had locking lockers, which we don't see much at yoga studios in the US. The studio itself is very wide but narrow front-to-back. Seemed like a hard place to get the temperature and humidity right, but both were perfect. Overall, a great location, great facility, and a friendly, welcoming staff. The next time I'm in the Melbourne area, I'll be back!
