I happily travel over an hour to practice here. Best Yoga studio & teachers in Melbourne.

Such a calming zen space to have in the midst of the sprawling boxes that Melbourne is!

The tropical temperature is always an oasis in the middle of winter.

The yin class stretched me in place as I never knew could!

Approximate cost: $25

I've been to a few different yoga studios and classes, and Yoga Academy are by far the best! When you step in to AYA you really do enter a very special and sacred space. The 90 minute classes are challenging, invigorating, and relaxing at the same time. The room is heated to 28 degrees to allow a very light sweat. Great in winter!! I love the Vinyasa style of yoga -dynamic sequences of the Sun Salutation. Following the Vinyasa yoga you practise some static asanas as well, and there is a relaxation at the end. The teachers are just wonderful - all very experienced, clear instructions, encouraging, and give individual feedback as much as possible. No bookings are necessary for classes. Highly recommended for anyone already practising yoga or looking to start.
