Bija Yoga

After practising yoga for 30 years in regional and inner city locations in Australia, I have found Kieth Kempis to be a very experienced Jivamukti yoga teacher, warm hearted and generous. His studio is well loved and cared for and his community of students are warm and friendly. I feel lucky to have found Bija Yoga !

This is a beautiful and welcoming studio. I particularly love the ability to access a livestream so you can practice from home if need be. Just wonderful.

From the moment you walk through the doors at Bija you feel a warmth that radiates from every corner of the room. Bija is a space which has evolved from the presence and love of everyone who has had the pleasure of laying their mat on its beautiful hardwood floors. It’s a space where conformity and judgement are left at the door and everyone is welcome. The only thing more beautiful than the studio itself; which is minimalist, natural and open (both in concept and design); is the feeling of community which exists in every encounter you have once inside. There are not enough stars to do this place justice.

Walking into the studio at Bija is like coming home, you are always welcome and always greeted warmly and with loving kindness. I didn’t know when first joining the studio how much Bija/ Keith and the Bija community would completely change my life through the immersion and teachings of Jivamukti yoga. Bija is a little pocket of peace in a crazy fast paced world.

Keith and the teachers at Bija have created the most genuine, welcoming community. The dedication to teaching, endless encouragement and creativity to practice can be felt by everyone that enters Bija. Thank you for the beautiful space you have built and the opportunity to practice alongside this wonderful community.

I've tried other yoga studios but Bija feels like home. There's something very special about the people that make up the Bija community. Everyone is so warm and friendly. The teachers are flexible, accommodating and empathic. The atmosphere is relaxed, yet light-hearted and you can really be yourself. It has a certain humility to it which is refreshing. I trust the teachers enough that I continued practising yoga well into my third trimester while pregnant. Keith & Deb were amazing and made sure the asana were adjusted to my needs. They even walked me to my car a few blocks away one night after class during the middle of winter to make sure I got there safe!! While I don't consider myself a spiritual person (am atheist), I find the teachings and 'focus of the month' so helpful and relevant to daily life. That alongside the mediation and relaxation incorporated into each class has done wonders for my mental health. Highly recommend this place. It will change your life for the better.
