This will be a copy-paste from the Mitcham 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!!

Being my first foray into the world of yoga, I have little to compare to but I absolutely love this…read moreplace.

I signed up for a gentle haha yoga class at Koru Yoga via bodypass and was when I rocked up I was…read moresurprised to find that the studio is located at the owners house. There is only street parking and the house if located on a slope so don't be alarmed as it doesn't look like a commercial studio. Walking up the pathway to the front door you will find there is a noticeboard and a whiteboard to the left for you to leave a note if needed. Once you ring the doorbell, the instructor will let you in and the studio is to the right as you take off your shoes and leave your bag in the hallway. The studio has dim lighting and everything is provided (mat, foam block, bolster, eye pillow, pillow, blanket) and Kerry was very welcoming and got to know me before commencing the class. Unfortunately the other participants didn't show up but it was great to have a private class with Kerry as she really helped me adjust my alignment and posture in a gentle manner. Great instruction, friendly instructor, intimate studio. Really great what she has created so if you are after smaller and supportive place to practice, try this out.I didn't ask if there was a change room or shower so you'll have to find out.

What class did you try? I tried a mat Pilate's class with a short relaxation at the end…read more How many people were in the class? 5 of us plus instructor What equipment and facilities are there? You go up the stairs to the right to enter and the bathrooms are down the hall. I don't recall there being change rooms but there is water, table and brnches to rest, cubby holes and all equipment provided for (mats, bolsters, blocks, foam rollers). The first area of the studio is reception and reformers and then the yoga/barre/Pilate's is at the back room. What was not so good? Parking at Camberwell and people with physical disabilities may find it difficult to get up the stairs (not sure if there is an elevator). Level of happiness: 10/10 going to mat Pilate's...to be honest I never really liked Pilate's but now I'm getting it more. I don't sweat like crazy but my muscles burn baby burn if you do it right. So I guess it is about finding the right teacher who can explain it in a way I get it. This place explained it well so thumbs up.

I've set myself a one month bodypass challenge to try go to as many classes around Melbourne and…read morethis morning I attended Vinyasa Flow at Elevation Floatation and Yoga which is really close to the Rivoli Cinema and Firechief Pizzeria in Camberwell. Be mindful there is roadside parking or head to the massive parking lot out the back behind Dan Murphy's/Coles but make sure you read parking instructions as Camberwell ticketers are brutal. Moving onto the venue...simple and bright the entrance is a communal table serving as an office and reception and I believe there are three floatation pods out the back. I did not get to try this as it is not part of bodypass but I really want to give the pods a go! Our Vinyasa class was upstairs and there were only 2 of us this morning so the instructor was quite flexible and spent time getting to know us and what we wanted to do. As I sit down most of the day and the other participant stood lots we got some really good back + shoulder stretches, hip openers and hamstring stretches. We were encouraged to use props (mats, foam block, bolster, straps) to help us get into correct positioning and at the end there was a relaxation component. Great class with a wonderfully supportive instructor - a studio I would gladly visit again.
