From bikram to ashtanga, hatha to vinyasa, yoga has exploded onto the scene. The discipline, which originates from ancient Eastern tradition, encourages positive health and well-being via a combination of poses, breathing exercises, mindfulness and meditation; here is our pick of best yoga studios in Sydney.
In Yoga
In Yoga is all about sharing positive vibes. Not only does this studio offer a peaceful sanctuary for its students to retreat after a long day, but In Yoga also donates 10% of all profits to local charities. This practice is called Karma Yoga or “seva” (selfless service). This spring, In Yoga is also offering a two-week $20 unlimited trial for new students. Namaste!
Egg of the Universe
Consisting of a yoga studio, café and wellness space, Egg of the Universe is undeniably one of the top spaces to train in Sydney.

Egg of the Universe also offers pre-natal classes, teacher training, workshops and masterclasses.
BodyMindLife
With four locations in Sydney, BodyMindLife may not offer the most intimate yoga experience, but it does have classes around the clock to suit even the busiest of bees – and wonderfully experienced teachers too. The studio also offers workshops for pilates, meditation and even yoga teacher training, offering a truly holistic experience. Monthly trial passes for newbies range from $38-98.
Humming Puppy
Humming Puppy is aesthetically beautiful and serene, the ideal space to channel inner chi. The studio, which has locations in Sydney and Melbourne, offers four levels of classes ranging from beginner to advanced, the style being a fusion of various types of yoga.

Barre Body fuses vinyasa yoga, pilates and elements of ballet barre conditioning exercises to create a truly unique and challenging workout.
