Live and Breathe Yoga

Amazing Allison, Martina, and Tracey 👍🏻

Live and Breathe Yoga is not just another yoga studio, Allison and all the wonderful Live and Breathe staff have created an inclusive and supportive community for anyone wanting to practice yoga. I have been practicing here for 12 months and I have to say it has changed my life in such as positive way. The first time I walked out of the studio from attending a Mysore practice I knew this was exactly where I was meant to be. Allison and all of the teachers here are extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Ashtanga yoga, and they are dedicated to ensuring that you are not just a number that walks through the door, but rather you receive personalised support based on your individual needs. The teachers at Live and Breathe are highly experienced when it comes to working with injuries, and I have witnessed myself and other students heal from injuries whilst practicing here from that 1:1 guidance and support that you receive. The teachers here are genuinely compassionate and encouraging and I feel so lucky to be able to access a yoga studio like this in Townsville. The studio itself is lovely, it is always bright and clean and it has all the equipment you need. There is a nice balance of classes from beginners courses to advanced, restorative, yin, pranayama, the list goes on. If you can attend a Saturday morning Mysore practice the chai that is shared afterwards is the best in town! Currently, due to pandemic situation, Live and Breathe is now on a virtual platform for the time being, which has beyond exceeded any expectations that I had of virtual yoga. I would definitely recommend to anyone wanting to practice yoga, this is the place to do it :)

Just completed the 4 week introductory course and it's amazing how much the class achieved in such a short amount of time. This was a fantastic experience and I feel confident in continuing to practice at Live and Breathe yoga for as long as possible. I highly recommend Alison and her team to anyone either starting out or feeling a bit rusty.

If you are looking for a dedicated Ashtanga yoga studio in Townsville then you have found it. Alison and the team are passionate and supportive and have created a wonderful environment at their studio. They are serious about their yoga, but don't take themselves too seriously and there's generally a few laughs during each practice. I began with a beginners course and have worked up to joining their full primary and Mysore style classes (with a course of one on ones at one point). I generally take my own equipment, but there is everything I need on the days I forget! I certainly recommend Live and Breathe for any level of practice. It isn't the cheapest option in town, but I am happy to invest in my mind and body week in week out as the quality and length of their classes is second to none.

Couple of years ago I decided to give yoga a chance and signed up for the introduction course with Allison at Live and Breathe yoga studio after months of neck and shoulder pain and physio appointments. Very quickly I felt the benefits of the practice. It is a beautiful calming space, the teaching is excellent and all the teachers are welcoming, encouraging and supportive and will guide you to become stronger in your mind and body.. If you are thinking of trying yoga this is the place to go!
