I took an 08:00 mixed levels class (drop ins are $19; your first month is $49 unlimited) on Saturday morning lead by Rosh. Including myself, the class had seven students so there was no jostling for space among us. The class was a very nice way to start the day. For the most part vinyasas were optional and Rosh - who trained in Anusara - did a great job of building up to an advanced posture (if you dig that sort of journey you will enjoy her teaching).

Let me tell you something about Preshana Yoga: it's a PHENOMENAL studio that embodies everything…read morethat you'll need. I'd always pass by it and seen the upstairs from Oxford Street opposite the road. But it was only a few months ago that I came here thanks to a friend who recommended that I try it out. Luckily, during that time, a promo was running that I took advantage of and afterwards, I renewed because Preshana is truly something special. I can honestly say that it's changed my life for the better through the knowledgeable and extraordinary instructors who will challenge you. Yoga is not just physical, it's a whole package: mind, body, and spirit and that's the very reason why I love it! It's not always easy but if you're open to it, this is a space that cultivates change and evokes you to dig deep within yourself and grow from it. Heart Glow by Kelli and Release & Re-align (and other classes) by Vanessa are the ones I highly frequent and recommend. Their style of teaching is different from one another but I adore their individual styles because it resonates with me. But give the other classes and instructors a go. Preshana Yoga is a down-to-earth studio and definitely something I recommend. LOVE | PEACE | BLISS = that's Preshana Yoga for you. Namaste!

They have beautiful images of Sydney waiting for you whenever you face forward and the mats are all set up for you at the start of class. At the end they rub your face and neck with lavender cream which was really relaxing. There's also tea which was delicious.

The entire place is beautifully decorated to help you feel like you've really escaped the city. There's a screen in the class with some scenery videos playing, it's not distracting at all. And the instructors and staff were very helpful and welcoming! Class was both challenging but also suitable for first timers. I find that I get more out of yoga classes with more of a vinyasa flow. I can't wait for my next class at Urban Yoga!

Blonde wood throughout…read morethe space imparts a clean, zen vibe - it's definitely the sort of place where you'd be happy hanging out before or after class. Shiva, the room where I took Theresa's 06:15 flow, almost had a museum-like (starkly pretty) quality about it. The class itself was dynamic and a lovely way to start an early winter morning. You can turn up to InYoga with nothing but yourself and still be fine for class. Mats are available to rent for $2 and if you do bring stuff there are lockers with keys in the changing rooms. I'd definitely come back to practice here!

I visited Humming Puppy through ClassPass and can't wait to get back. I'll get to the yoga in a second but I think it's worth mentioning all of the amenities these guys provide. Want to take a shower? They provide complimentary towels and bath products. Need to charge your phone? They've got portable chargers. Thirsty? Have some coconut water or a tea. Forgot your hair tie? They've got you covered. There's a great area outside of the studio that I could definitely see hanging out in just to avoid leaving this studio! The studio itself is a bit dark and mysterious looking, and it "hums." I took a Mellow Hum class, which was a yin-esque class where the room was heated to 27 degrees. The instructor was amazing, and the hour flew by way quicker than I wanted it to. This studio is also a 5 minute walk from the Redfern station so really easy to get to!

I just love Barre. Especially this studio - not only is it the biggest in the Southern Hemisphere,…read morebut they also have the nicest staff as well! It is relatively new and is quieter than its city counterpart which I prefer. They have a huge range of class times, morning and afternoon as well as the weekend. The owner Suzy is warm and welcoming and so encouraging. If you haven't tried Xtend before, make sure you try this place first. Before you know it, you'll be - eat, sleep, Xtend, repeat!!

I've been to this studio twice, once in 2017 & once in 2018. It's in a strange location so if…read moreyou're new it might seem difficult to find from the street. There is a small cafe on the first floor, if you walk around the building towards the right, you'll see the sign & entrance on your left. Go up the stairs. You leave your shoes on that second floor but the studio is on the 3rd. This is a very large studio that can accommodate up to 100 students. There is a large community area with couches and such in the lobby. They sell or rent items such as: towels, mats, water, retail clothing, etc. There are separate changing rooms for men & women however the shower stalls are outside of this area so bring what you need to be able to shower in one location and dress in the other. They provide hair dryers, plastic bags for wet clothing, etc. If you want a lock for you locker, they just need something like an ID to hold as collateral for the usage. They only offer the 90 minute Bikram Yoga unfortunately. The heating system in the room is adequate and the instructors do occasionally open the doors to ventilate. The students here are friendly. You can see that most of them have been practicing for awhile but there are new students too, it's a good mix. The only thing I didn't like about the room is the columns in the middle and the dreary curtains. I think it would be nice to have natural light coming in. I heard this studio was recently purchased by new owners, I met both of them and they were very sweet & welcoming. I plan to return!

Though the website says otherwise, socks were not required (I prefer barre in bare feet when it's done on wood floor as it is here). Barre Body bills this class as "...strong and dynamic." I'd say I found that to be true. If you've done Dailey Method, Pure Barre or Bar Method, you'll feel right at home. And if you've never done barre before but have done yoga and/or pilates, you'll do fine too. This is a small studio with no lobby so you probably don't want to rock up more than 10 minutes prior to class.

I was…read morereally happy to know that during a recent visit to Sydney I was able to use my membership to attend a class at the Surry Hills studio, and could book the exact same way as I do at home via my Barre Body app. This studio is clean and minimalist. It's a serene environment to work out and it's nicely located to public transport for easy access. The classes themselves are varied, with different styles and intensities available depending on your ability and mood. Like my experiences in Melbourne, the teacher at my Surry Hills class was absolutely delightful and had a terrific way of leading the class and encouraging everyone.
