Hi and welcome to BodyMindLife Yoga.

Please fill out the form and we will have you discovering the wonders of Yoga before you know it! Have a great day and we look forward to seeing you soon!
Book a class nowOur Progressive classes are for those who want to challenge themselves in a safe and healthy way. In these classes our teachers use more creative sequencing aimed at building the strength and stability you’ll need to explore some of the more challenging asanas in a fun and playful way. You might experience a Shiva Rea-inspired Mandala/Fluid Power class, or some partner-assisting, or inversions – depending on what the teacher’s focus is for the day.
Open classes are just that – open to everyone, from beginner to intermediate. If you’re new to Power Vinyasa Yoga, however, we suggest taking some Essentials classes first to learn some technique. An Open class will follow a flowing format of standing poses, balancing poses, forward bends, backward bends, twists, arm balances, hip openers, and inversions; finishing with deep relaxation and meditation. You’ll be flowing smoothly from one pose to the next, as each segment of the class is linked by a Sun Salutation (Surya Namaskar). Each class will vary slightly depending on the teacher, but all classes will follow a general structure to ensure that your overall experience is balanced and cohesive.
Our Essentials classes are highly recommended for those who are new to yoga or transitioning from a more static yoga practice like Bikram, Iyengar, or Hatha Yoga. Each Essentials class has a particular thematic focus following a rolling eight-week curriculum, which students can join whenever they like. In our Essentials classes you’ll be exposed to all the techniques you’ll need to ensure a safe and healthy practice for years to come. You’ll discover ways to modify your practice so that it’s less strenuous, while cultivating a strong foundation aimed at setting you up for success as you move forward in your yoga practice. Essentials classes are also great if you’re recovering from injury, returning to practice after a yoga sabbatical, or simply want to enjoy your practice with less intensity.
Yin Yoga is the polar opposite to our dynamic flowing classes, and a superb complement to the more “yang” style of Power Vinyasa Yoga. Yin classes involve long, luxurious holds in restorative forward bends, hip openers, and inversions. You’ll focus on your breath like never before, and will experience deep release as we work through areas of the body that habitually hold tension and stress. Quietening of the mind is the supreme focus of these classes, as you work toward meditation and deep relaxation. A must for all yogis, beginner to advanced!
Community classes are one-hour classes taught by fully qualified teachers who are just beginning their teaching journeys. These classes are open to all and are run on a donation-only basis ($5 suggested donation).
Yoga will support your health and well-being on many different levels throughout your pregnancy and is an excellent way to nourish mother-to-be and baby within. It is an ideal preparatory exercise while pregnant, combining the building of strength with the opportunity to relax and let go. It also offers a chance to practice useful skills for birthing. We offer specialist training in cultivating breath awareness, strength, flexibility and the necessary surrender for mothers to be.
Meditation classes are 45 minutes long and open to all.
A post-natal class for new mums/dads and their bubs up to 12 months old.

Advanced classes are scheduled once a month at both the Surry Hills and Rozelle studios, and are an addition to the regular class timetable.
These two-hour classes will offer students the opportunity to experience a practice that will take them to the next level! You'll experience dynamic flowing vinyasa, as well as arm balances, backbends, and inversions; balanced by pranayama, meditation, deep relaxation, and long, healing Savasana.
The emphasis will be on exploring yoga in a non-competitive and playful way, and some classes may include interactive demonstrations to introduce new techniques. Each studio will have a monthly Advanced class on a different date, so if you're really keen you can take an Advanced class every second week!
Advanced classes are included in BodyMindLife Full Memberships (Annual or Direct Debit Unlimited Passes), all others pay $20 per class.
The New Year has been unfolding with a great sense of promise and with this we are excited to announce the reincarnation of the Rozelle studio. For many moons we have been working on plans to refurbish our space and expand into the neighboring building (previously known as the Wash House Gallery). Our Development Application has been approved, the builders are ready to go, and we are putting the finishing touches on our interior design right now!
The whole project is focused around sustainability and ultimately what we aim to create is an incredible community space with an expanded class and workshop offering, along with our very own organic whole food café. Just imagine sipping chai beneath the large Chinese Elm in our new Zen garden after a divine yoga class...
The below text covers the need-to-know points for the coming weeks:
The Build Schedule:
Since 2003 our current studio space has been a thriving little hub of yoga activity and the community that encapsulates all of our teachers and students has developed to be a beautiful thing. What we hope to create through the studio refit and cafe launch is a new style of center that offers everyone a broader experience of the gifts that yoga can bring. We are especially excited to have more space and the excuse for all of us to meet and hang out, so that we can more easily build upon the bonds that naturally emerge from practicing yoga together. The work we are about to commence will become the studio's most exciting incarnation to date and we greatly appreciate your patience, understanding and continued support during the building process.
