Progressive
Our Progressive classes are for those who want to challenge themselves in a safe and healthy way. In these classes our teachers use more creative sequencing aimed at building the strength and stability you’ll need to explore some of the more challenging asanas in a fun and playful way. You might experience a Shiva Rea-inspired Mandala/Fluid Power class, or some partner-assisting, or inversions – depending on what the teacher’s focus is for the day.
Open
Open classes are just that – open to everyone, from beginner to intermediate. If you’re new to Power Vinyasa Yoga, however, we suggest taking some Essentials classes first to learn some technique. An Open class will follow a flowing format of standing poses, balancing poses, forward bends, backward bends, twists, arm balances, hip openers, and inversions; finishing with deep relaxation and meditation. You’ll be flowing smoothly from one pose to the next, as each segment of the class is linked by a Sun Salutation (Surya Namaskar). Each class will vary slightly depending on the teacher, but all classes will follow a general structure to ensure that your overall experience is balanced and cohesive.
Essentials
Our Essentials classes are highly recommended for those who are new to yoga or transitioning from a more static yoga practice like Bikram, Iyengar, or Hatha Yoga. Each Essentials class has a particular thematic focus following a rolling eight-week curriculum, which students can join whenever they like. In our Essentials classes you’ll be exposed to all the techniques you’ll need to ensure a safe and healthy practice for years to come. You’ll discover ways to modify your practice so that it’s less strenuous, while cultivating a strong foundation aimed at setting you up for success as you move forward in your yoga practice. Essentials classes are also great if you’re recovering from injury, returning to practice after a yoga sabbatical, or simply want to enjoy your practice with less intensity.
Yin Yoga
Yin Yoga is the polar opposite to our dynamic flowing classes, and a superb complement to the more “yang” style of Power Vinyasa Yoga. Yin classes involve long, luxurious holds in restorative forward bends, hip openers, and inversions. You’ll focus on your breath like never before, and will experience deep release as we work through areas of the body that habitually hold tension and stress. Quietening of the mind is the supreme focus of these classes, as you work toward meditation and deep relaxation. A must for all yogis, beginner to advanced!
Community Class
Community classes are one-hour classes taught by fully qualified teachers who are just beginning their teaching journeys. These classes are open to all and are run on a donation-only basis ($5 suggested donation).
Prenatal
Yoga will support your health and well-being on many different levels throughout your pregnancy and is an excellent way to nourish mother-to-be and baby within. It is an ideal preparatory exercise while pregnant, combining the building of strength with the opportunity to relax and let go. It also offers a chance to practice useful skills for birthing. We offer specialist training in cultivating breath awareness, strength, flexibility and the necessary surrender for mothers to be.

Advanced Classes
What are advanced classes?
Advanced classes are scheduled once a month at both the Surry Hills and Rozelle studios, and are an addition to the regular class timetable.
These two-hour classes will offer students the opportunity to experience a practice that will take them to the next level! You'll experience dynamic flowing vinyasa, as well as arm balances, backbends, and inversions; balanced by pranayama, meditation, deep relaxation, and long, healing Savasana.
The emphasis will be on exploring yoga in a non-competitive and playful way, and some classes may include interactive demonstrations to introduce new techniques. Each studio will have a monthly Advanced class on a different date, so if you're really keen you can take an Advanced class every second week!
Advanced classes are included in BodyMindLife Full Memberships (Annual or Direct Debit Unlimited Passes), all others pay $20 per class.
BodyMindLife Surry Hills New Studio Launch
With many of our classes at capacity, we've been searching for a new home to expand and grow into, to increase our class offerings and make yoga more and more available to you, our students.
In January 2012, we will be relocating to a brand new space, just a few steps around the corner, at Level 1, 84 Mary Street, Surry Hills. This new centre will offer two spacious yoga rooms, a meditation room, wellness treatments and world-class facilities. It will be a veritable inner city oasis!
We'll be closing our doors at 55 Foveaux Street on the evening of Sunday 18 December 2011, and re-opening at our new location on Tuesday 3 January 2012. During the 2 week period that the studio will be closed, you are most welcome to use your valid passes at the Rozelle studio. All existing passes will be suspended for two weeks, and will be ready for you to use again in our new studio. We'll also be posting some free class podcasts onto our website so that you can practice at home during the Christmas/New Year period.
Here are some of the important dates and details you might like to make note of:
- Sunday 18 December - Final class at BodyMindLife Surry Hills 4.00-6.00pm Live music class with Nicole Goodwin
- Monday 19 December → Monday 2 January - BodyMindLife Surry Hills closed
- Tuesday 3 January - Brand new BodyMindLife Surry Hills opens at Level 1, 84 Mary Street, Surry Hills - regular schedule operating
- Saturday 4 → Sunday 5 February - BodyMindLife Surry Hills' Official Launch Weekend & 10th Birthday Party
- Monday 6 February - 40 Day Revolution begins with brand new extended schedule - 60+ classes per week!
For weekly updates on the progress of the new studio and schedule, please go to our blog.
We are, as ever, full of gratitude for the continued support of our wonderful students, as without you these amazing developments wouldn't be possible.
We look forward to sharing our new space and lots of time in and out of the yoga room with you all in the months and years to come.
Namaste,
Nicole, Phil, Bryony, Harry & the whole BodyMindLife yoga team.
