Founded by artist Kirra Jamison, Good Vibes is all about authentic yoga and mindful Pilates in beautiful, contemporary spaces throughout Melbourne’s inner North

Philosophy

Our philosophy is based on ensuring holistic movement practices. We encourage the experience of yoga to be a complete system, both on and off the mat, and Pilates to be more than just a workout; it’s a mindful experience.

Good Vibes honours asana (the physical practice of yoga) as a moving meditation that creates a strong, clear, connected body and spirit. Our yoga classes focus on the integrity and fluidity of movement through unification with the breath. These movements are initiated by the inhalation, allowing us to lift, expand, and open, and with every exhalation, we move deeper into the experience of being.

Our approach is grounded in the traditional lineages of yoga. We acknowledge all eight limbs of yoga: Yama (ethical disciplines), Niyama (self-observation), Asana (postures), Pranayama (breath control), Pratyahara (sense withdrawal), Dharana (concentration), Dhyana (meditation) and Samadhi (a blissful state of joy and peace).

Pilates at Good Vibes draws from both classical and contemporary traditions. Designed to build physical strength, increase flexibility and embrace the rhythm of breath, these classes are a highly complementary addition to any yoga practice.

Our Reformer Pilates classes glide through a series of fluid motions on the reformer apparatus and focus on the power of resistance and precision. They offer an opportunity to slow down, connect with yourself, and tune into your body’s strength and alignment—no mirrors, dumbbells, and hectic-fitness energy here. We can’t wait to launch our full schedule and membership options in 2024!

Our vibe is laid-back, friendly and positive. Our goal is to foster an empowered, healthy and mindful community. We welcome beginners right through to the most experienced yogi and Pilates practitioner.

 
 

Our Studios

Good Vibes offers classes across three unique studios in Melbourne. Our Northcote space opened in 2015, quickly becoming Melbourne’s most-loved yoga studio. In 2018, we expanded, opening our Collingwood studio, and in November 2023, we launched our first Reformer Pilates studio just around the corner.

Your health and the sustainability of our Earth are of the utmost importance and this is reflected in all areas of the studios.

In Northcote, we keep our classes small, no more than 30 students maximum. Our white floor is hypo-allergenic cork, which is hygienic, environmentally sustainable, warm in winter, cool in summer, and best of all - soft on your joints.

Our Easey Street Collingwood space offers two purpose-built yoga studios, which provide plenty of space to move and are flooded with fresh air and natural light. Our new Collingwood Reformer Pilates studio is a boutique space with state-of-the-art reformer beds.

Good Vibes studios are climate-controlled environments of 23°C. We primarily use hydronic heating, which does not cause dehydration. Hydronic heating is the healthiest choice for your body (and the environment), as it allows heat to be built internally and safely.

Latex-free Manduka mats are provided for complimentary use at the studios. These mats are closed-cell, which means they are hygienic and won’t absorb sweat.

Other amenities include changing facilities and showers. We provide all body products, and towel hire is available.

This is the perfect environment to learn, discover and expand your heart, mind and body.
