Newcastle, New South Wales, Australia.
Yoga is a disciplined practice of bringing together the body and mind - offering amazing benefits for you personally to change your life. Yoga offers a pathway to alter your understanding of yourself through postures and poses that re-align how you define yourself. Here's an introduction to yoga as a whole of life experience.
I'm not a big fan of comparing and judging - so the top ten list is a little longer than ten and there's no order for best at the top or whatever. What I wanted was to share some of the Yoga Studios in Newcastle so you can see what's out there and make an informed choice about where to do yoga in Newcastle.
Most of all, Yoga offers a deep body connection between mind and body - and a daily opportunity to embrace and connect with yourself.
Whether you are new to yoga or an established yogi, you are most welcome to visit and enjoy your practice in and around Newcastle, NSW Australia - and I have put together a comprehensive listing of the top ten places for yoga in Newcastle.
People do yoga for back pain, to stretch their hamstrings or to find some deeper connection - and it is this offering of a deeper connection - of getting into a flow state or the zone - that keeps people coming back to yoga. Here's the list - please feel free to comment and add your own suggestions.
Yoga for All, 39 Bolton St, Newcastle, NSW 2300
Yoga for All is Newcastle's first 'pay-what-you-can' (PWYC) yoga studio.
We have no memberships, or passes.
We supply everything you need for your practice (mats, props etc).
All we ask is that you pay what you can afford, between $5 and $20, for any class you attend (if you're not sure, around $10 is a great starting point).
You'll find a blue box in the studio, waiting to gratefully receive your donation. That's it. No catch. No fine print. Yoga for All.
A wonderful uncluttered space at street level offering what might be just the best kept yoga secret in Newcastle.
Ashtanga Yoga Newcastle, level 2, 372 King St, Newcastle, NSW
The first thing to strike you when you walk into a Mysore-style Ashtanga yoga class is that it seems like total chaos.
Here’s one student doing a headstand in the corner, while another is coming into the triangle posture and a third is struggling to balance on her arms. What is going on here?
If you stay a while and watch closely, you start to notice a pattern emerging. Everyone seems to be on a path, following a precise choreography.
Also, compared to other yoga classes, the silence is striking. Occasionally the teacher will whisper something to a student, but the dominant sound is the collective breath.
Maryann (or YogaMary) began her dedicated practice of yoga more than nineteen years ago firstly in Barraba then ended up at the Sydney Yoga Centre.
Mentored by Eve Grzybowski, who was for many years a senior teacher of Iyengar yoga, Maryann was one of three graduates honoured with the invitation to teach at the school upon completing her teaching certificate.
David Morley is a certified Iyengar Yoga teacher and has been teaching Yoga since 1994.
New Living Yoga, 104 Maitland Road, Islington
We believe consistent, uninterrupted practice is the way to really gain the benefits that yoga has to offer. Our classes include yoga postures (asanas), breath-work (pranayama) and Satyananda Yoga Nidra (deep relaxation).

YogaBodyWorks, Level 1, 204 King Street, Newcastle.
Our intention is to provide a professional, humble, non-competitive space, from which healthy, friendly communities can grow. Students of all levels are welcome.
Kundalini Yoga Newcastle, Warabrook Community Cente, 6 Angophora Place, Warabrook
We run several levels of yoga classes ranging from beginner/ foundation level for the totally new participant and those eager to learn more, to a more advanced Level 1 class for those that have greater than 6 months yoga experience.
We generally ask our beginners to commence in either the foundation or vinyasa flow classes in order to allow our instructors to fully identify the strengths and limitations of all yoga participants and to enhance the delivery of a safe and effective yoga program.
I was first inspired to practice Yoga when travelling in India in 2000. I explored a variety of different schools before discovering Bikram Yoga, in London.
My first Bikram class was a transformative experience. Soon after my return to Australia in 2005, I became pregnant, at which time I continued my practice with antenatal classes.
When I re-commenced Yoga for Pregnancy classes with my second child I was inspired to incorporate Yoga completely into my life.
Thanks for stopping by, we have really enjoyed putting this list together - there are so many talented and passionate people out there bending each day into their yoga practice - it is truly a privilege to have so many options when it comes to places to do Yoga in Newcastle.
