Kula Yoga Hawthorn — Local services in Melbourne

Three weeks ago from today, I was a complete newbie. I had never attended a yoga class in my life, and would have said the child's pose was the fetal position. But I was curious, and so signed myself up for their starter pack.

I pledged, to no-one but myself, that I'd give it a proper go. That I'd do every single type of class they offered, and meet every one of the teachers they had on staff. And as of today, I have completed my little challenge.

And I can say it was a wonderful experience.

The teachers, every single one of them, are all so wonderful. Kind, thoughtful, informative, and always helping those newbies (like me) from feeling lost or like we're falling behind. The studio itself is wonderfully calming, with a warm, soft atmosphere and an excellent ambiance.

If you're looking for a super beginner class (minimum workout or flexibility) I highly recommend Dhini's Sunday yin and meditation class. Dhini has been teaching for at least twelve years, and the experience really, really shows. Despite the low strain on the body, the excellent guidance through the meditation was second to none. If you're looking for a more spiritual, self-connective yoga, this is the class for you.

If you're after something a bit more on the exercise side, looking to build strength in cardio and in flexibility, the hot and flow yoga classes are excellent, but Lisa's early wednesday morning pilates/yoga combo reigns supreme. It will be tough, but I can honestly think of no better way to really find what you're capable of.

Ria and Emily are also both lovely teacher's I'd highly recommend, each with a very strong focus on the quality and innovation in the ways of practicing yoga. If you let go of that little voice that says you can't do it, you'll find your body in shapes you'd never dreamed of in their classes.

All in all, it was a stellar experience that I cannot recommend enough, and even as my first timer pass is expiring, I'll surely be getting a more regular one to come right...

After lockdowns and a change in life as we knew it and working in pretty unergonomic ways at the kitchen bench, I have been spending a fortune on remedial massage. A few weeks ago, I decided to try the 2 week unlimited trial at Kula Yoga and see what the Yin classes were like. After taking 6 classes over 2 weeks, this style of yoga has been a huge game changer for me and has done far more good than the massages. Love the convenience of the online booking system so I can plan my week and the team are very nurturing. Lisa, Victoria and Steph - all fantastic! Gorgeous welcoming studio. Very good on-boarding for new people via text messages, educational video links and welcoming messages and follow up from the studio manager and owner. Overall a great customer experience. Just committed to a 12 month membership!...

Having moved to the new neighbourhood, I'm very grateful to have discovered Kula Yoga.

One of the standout qualities of Kula is the experience and expertise of their teachers. Their deep understanding of the practice, as well as compassionate approach, creates a safe & nurturing space for practitioners of all levels.

I also appreciate the variety of classes and teachers, as well as special workshops offered by the studio. These provide an opportunity to either deepen mastery or explore new practices and parts of self.

The studio and amenities are very well maintained, which certainly adds to the overall positive experience.

Kula embraces and lives up to their name (Sanskrit word for "community" or "tribe"), creating a space where everyone feels like they can come to practice, play, explore,...
