I'm new to yoga, what do I do?

  • Arrive 15-20 minutes before class starts
  • Introduce yourself to the instructor so we know a bit about you and can explain what we do
  • Let us know if you have an illness, injury or medical condition before the class begins
  • Don't eat a big meal 2-3 hours before class
  • Drink 1-2 litres of water 2-3 hours before class
  • Please bring your own yoga mat and towel
  • Wear light fitting clothing, like shorts and a t-shirt
  • Be prepared to work hard and sweat
  • Relax, smile and talk to your fellow yogis

Class Description

  • Hatha Vinyasa
    A modern, dynamic, flowing style of yoga. The focus of each class is varied; backbends, forward bends, twists, strength etc. The emphasis is on responding to the needs of your body and strengthening the calmness of your mind.
    ALL LEVELS
  • Yin
    Yin Yoga is a more passive, meditive style that works deeper into the muscles and joints. Ideal for sporty people who don't stretch enough, Yin Yoga generally targets the connective tissues of the hips, pelvis and lower spine.
    ALL LEVELS
  • NAAM
    Naam Yoga is an alchemy: merging the science of NAAM/divine word and sound with the science of yoga, breath, mudra/hand therapy and rhythmic movement with the science of Universal Kabbalah and eastern energetic practices. Profoundly purifies, strengthens, uplifts and invites success, peacefulness and longevity into your life.
    ALL LEVELS
  • Jivamukti
    This style of yoga will appeal to those who want a good workout and more, since a healthy dose of chanting, music and philosophy accompanies each class. It is a vigorously physical and intellectually stimulating practice combined with an equally strong foundation in the ancient spiritual traditions of Yoga.
    ALL LEVELS
  • Barefoot Basics
    Highly recommended for those new to yoga. The emphasis of the class is on the basic techniques you’ll need for a safe and healthy practice for years to come. This class is also great if you are returning from injury or some time out or simply want to practice with less intensirty.
  • Rhythm Vinyasa
    A flowing sequence set to a funky playlist.
    A Friday night celebration!!!
    ALL LEVELS
  • Meditation
    This is a perfect class for beginners and equally rewarding for advanced meditators.
    You will experience simple and easy, yet powerful meditation techniques that can be used in every day life.
  • Yoga'd Up! Kids 8-12 year olds
    Classes include a variety of postures, partner poses and fun yoga games. Children end the class with relaxation and visualisation techniques. The combination of all these ingredients help and support them through a time of pre-teen change and beyond to adolescence.
  • Prenatal Yoga
    Yoga is an ideal form of exercise during pregnancy. These classes cater for the changes that occur during this special time. Classes are designed to prepare women for the birthing process, and are also a great way to connect with other pregnant women.

How does it all work?

Amazing Teachers. Diverse Classes

Amazing Teachers. Diverse Classes.

We don't employ teachers directly. Instead we've invited some of Sydney's best yoga teachers from all styles to host classes in our space. That means you can enjoy a diversity of classes and teaching styles in one place.

No contracts or memberships. Attendance is by donation

No contracts or memberships.
Yoga by donation.

Donation is the act of giving. Simply place your donation in the box at the back of the room before or after class. The suggested donation is $15. How much you give and how much you are able to give is your business and personal. We trust that through giving freely to all of you, the universe will take care of us through all of you. We believe yoga is for EVERYBODY who wants to participate.

We're walking the talk. Making yoga available to all

Removing the obstacles.
Yoga for Everybody

Yoga has exploded in popularity over recent years and is often priced beyond many peoples reach. Inspired by Bryan Kest's Power Yoga in Los Angeles, we run our studio on a donation basis. While we are conscious we have a business to run, the emphasis is to offer yoga as a service, first and foremost.

Meet Crawf, founder of Barefoot Yoga

Opening a donation based studio has been a dream of mine for the last 2 years. I love yoga and I believe everybody can benefit from a regular yoga practice. I called it Barefoot Yoga because I want people to know yoga can be accessible and fun.

Some early reviews
