Our Classes ~ Your Journey

Each class invites you to take a journey – through Flow (asana movement) Breath (pranayama techniques) Mobility (somatic movement) Restorative (mindfulness & meditation practices) Qi Gong (balancing energy) and Yin (deep fascial release) with subtle weavings of yoga philosophy. Our teachers bring experience & passion to the practice in a down-to-earth and inclusive manner.

All our classes are suitable for any level of capability or experience ~ sequences are layered to adapt the practice to each individual. Our classes sizes are small so that you receive the support you deserve.

Flow Yoga

We have a range of FLOW classes designed to gently energise and invigorate the body while soothing the mind and balancing the nervous system. All our Flow classes are somatic in nature and follow a trauma sensitive approach. The nature of the flow will support the energetic flow of your day.

Flow classes are a 45-60 minute invigorating practice, designed to be energising in nature. This breath-centric practice is carefully sequenced to coordinate movement and breath to balance the nervous system, as well as a focus on adaptation to support each individual. They may include traditional sun salutations and standing sequences to build heat and mobilise the joints, before grounding into seated postures in preparation for savasana. Theses classes offer challenge with a focus on strength, stability & flexibility, as well as calm and steadiness.

Slow Flow classes are a 60 minute rejuvenating practice where you will flow through gentle grounding movement to balance the energy of the day, before settling into restorative postures to encourage relaxation. Designed to soothe the nervous system and invite in a sense of calm and ease to the body & mind. The practice may include somatic movement techniques, pranayama, yin & restorative poses, and yoga nidra.

Flow to Yin classes are a 60 minute soothing practice that begin with a gentle somatic flow to ease tension and regulate the nervous system, before moving through a series of yin postures to relieve deep tension and allow for more easeful movement.

Yin Yoga

Our Yin classes are the perfect antidote to a yang lifestyle. They feature slow, long-held postures that target the body’s fascia and connective tissue, creating a deeply reflective practice that takes you outside your comfort zone via an invitation to be still despite the mental distractions.

Our 60 minute evening practice may be a combination of yin & restorative poses, and meditation, to release tension, as well as balance and soothe the nervous system. This practice will leave you feeling relaxed and peaceful in body and mind.

Our Yin classes are coupled with meditation, either in the form of a short guided Yoga Nidra (Yin Nidra) or sound meditation (Yin Sound)

Yoga for Women – Pre & Postnatal

If you are pregnant or in your postnatal journey then we recommend our Flow to Yin class on Thursday evenings at 6pm. Our teachers are qualified and experienced women’s yoga teachers and this practice is easily adapted to any stage of pregnancy or postnatal stage. Please contact us prior to attending your first class so we can ensure we cater to your needs – info@makaiyogacollective.com.au 

Private Yoga & Yoga Therapy

We offer small group or individual yoga sessions, either in studio or at a venue of your choice. These sessions are perfect if you would like to engage in a private yoga session before joining classes, or perhaps you would like to organise a group session for a special event.  We have a range of options throughout the weekday and weekend, simply email us at info@makaiyogacollective.com.au to make a time.

If you are looking for a more long term one-on-one program, where you might be working through an injury or condition, we also offer personalised Yoga Therapy sessions with a trained Yoga Therapist. After an assessment of your needs you will work together with the therapist to create a personalised ‘at home’ program. For enquiries email studio@makaiyogacollective.com.au
