Vinyasa Flow

Dynamic. Energetic. Strengthening. 

This class combines the flowing style of Vinyasa ('movement with breath') with a series of strong and powerful postures. Each Vinyasa Flow class targets physical strength and flexibility throughout the entire body.

While maintaining a clear focus on alignment and breath awareness, these classes build internal heat and aid in detoxifying the body. Energising and nourishing, Vinyasa Flow will increase physical and mental discipline. 

Vinyasa Flow is a medium to high-intensity class and is most suited to those with some yoga experience. Expect to get your heart rate up in this uplifting class. 

 

Beginners Flow

Simple. Spacious. Supportive. 

This foundational Vinyasa ('movement with breath') class is designed with our newer students in mind. Students will be guided through a flow that builds on breath work, correct and safe alignment, and the simple principles of yoga.

You will improve your strength and flexibility and, of course, cultivate mindfulness and presence. 

Our community enjoy finding their feet in Beginners Flow before jumping into our more fluid Vinyasa Flow classes. 

Keep it Mellow

Mindful. Cathartic. Fluid.  

Keep It Mellow is a 'slow flow' yoga class. It's ideal for those days when you want to cultivate awareness of movement and breath at a steady pace. These classes are centred around not only conditioning the body but improving temperament, discipline and mental focus.

Taken at a slower pace than our Vinyasa Flow class, this style is still strong and physically dynamic. The slower transitions between poses encourage mindfulness, resilience and self-compassion. 

Keep It Mellow is an excellent option for newer students who are ready to explore their practice beyond our beginner classes.

 

Yin

Relaxing. Passive. Nurturing.

Yin is a restorative class to unwind and de-stress. Yin Yoga is a practice that is designed to stretch the body and work into connective fascial tissue and is a balance to the more dynamic Yang practices. A powerfully therapeutic class, Yin is ideal for highly active people – runners, cyclists, regular yoga practitioners - and anyone wanting to release tightness in their body. In a Yin class, floor poses are held for 3-5 minutes, each targeting joint and ligament stress and enabling muscles to soften. In holding poses for longer periods, Yin Yoga cultivates a sense of surrender. You will leave feeling lighter, more flexible, and more open in your body, mind and heart.

Perfect for all levels of experience, even beginners.

Prenatal Yoga

Powerful. Inspired. Beautiful.

Prenatal yoga is a highly specialised form of yoga designed to support mothers-to-be on their individual pregnancy journeys. It is a great way to stay active and connected during pregnancy. This class will provide a full spectrum of support tools and help you meet your changing physical and emotional needs, from gentle stretching and strengthening to meditations to connect with your baby.

Benefits of Prenatal Yoga include sleep improvement, reduced stress and anxiety, and increased endurance and flexibility of the muscles needed for childbirth. 

Our Prenatal classes run on Sundays at 11 am in our Collingwood studio.

Suitable for both those new to yoga and with an existing practice.

Mat Pilates

Focused. Strong. Aligned.

A fusion of Joseph Pilates' original exercises and contemporary moves, Mat Pilates flows through a series of measured movements designed to strengthen and tone the body and mind. Our Mat Pilates classes unlock a sense of balance, grace, and ease in posture and form. We utilise body weight, Bala weights, Pilates balls, and resistance bands in these sessions.

This class can be modified to decrease or increase the level of challenge, allowing you to practise at your own pace. All levels are welcome.

Reformer 101

Fundamental. Gentle. Empowering. 

Reformer 101 is designed for those new to Reformer Pilates. This class focuses on fundamental movements and precise alignment and provides a solid foundation for improved core strength, flexibility, and body awareness. The gentle, low-impact nature of Reformer 101 makes it accessible to all levels and is the perfect starting point for those looking to build strength while respecting their body's limitations. Additionally, this class may suit those working with an injury. 

We recommend building your confidence in Reformer 101 before jumping into our more dynamic Reformer Flow classes.

Reformer Flow

Rhythmic. Controlled. Uplifting. 

Reformer Flow offers a seamless journey through classic and contemporary Pilates exercises utilising reformer beds and Pilates props. In this class, each movement is intelligently linked to the next, allowing you to explore the full range of your capabilities and facilitating a deep connection between breath and fluid motion. Focusing on rhythm, coordination, mobility, and control, Reformer Flow will enhance physical strength and flexibility and elevate mental focus and inner awareness. 

Reformer Flow is a medium - to high-intensity class that requires some experience. Before joining Reformer Flow, we recommend anyone new to Reformer Pilates attend a few Reformer 101 classes.

Reformer Stretch

Blissful. Expansive. Embodied.

The one you’ve been waiting your whole life for! Reformer Stretch is the missing piece in your movement regime. This class utilises the resistance and glide of Pilates reformers to target, lengthen and release tight muscles, leaving you feeling limber, balanced and nourished. Imagine classic GV Keep it Mellow vibes and deep, juicy stretches. Whether you’re looking for a guided stretch class but don’t enjoy the long static Yin Yoga holds, want to gently mobilise your entire body and down-regulate your nervous system, or keen to increase your flexibility, this class is for you.

Perfect for all levels of experience, even beginners.

Make It Spicy

Fiery. Athletic. Empowering.

Make It Spicy is our most challenging Reformer class, designed to fire up every muscle group in your body! It strengthens, sculpts, and builds endurance. Feel the burn in your core and derriere as we turn up the heat with controlled yet dynamic movements that build to an endorphin-inducing peak.

Make It Spicy offers a progressive exploration of intermediate to advanced Pilates repertoire and requires an intermediate level of experience. This class is not suitable for those pregnant.

Prenatal Reformer

Supportive. Specialised. Strengthening.

Prenatal Reformer is a low-impact class that supports mothers-to-be on their pregnancy journey. It offers specially modified classic and contemporary Pilates exercises to help you stay fit and active during pregnancy.
