Yab Yum Yoga - Victoria Park Studio

Beautiful studio, beautiful people! My fav class is Restore + Align with Kelly every Tuesday morning ❤️

Nice venue and well run with mats, bolsters etc provided and good ambiance with the floorboards, music and hanging plants. Teachers are enthusiastic and warm. My one gripe would be that bit in the class where you're supposed to have learnt the pose sequence yourself so the instructor stops saying what to do and you're on your own. OK for aficionados maybe, not OK for me, I just feel unco and abandoned by the instructor. Definitely a lovely place to go, but a bit 'sink or swim' at times.

I really wish I'd tried this place sooner. Struggled for years to find a studio with the perfect balance of being physically challenging while still retaining the core aspects of yoga. So many places these days focus solely on a workout and lose the benefits yoga has to offer. The studio is like a beautiful, calm little oasis. So far went to Samantha, Maddi and Jessica's classes. All such gorgeous and skilled teachers! I look forward to trying more classes!

Beautiful studio with a great selection of classes and instructors to cater to all different levels. Added bonus of being able to use the inner city studio also. Yab Yum has been my #1 survival tool for 2020, both physically and mentally!

Amazing. I love the studio, the ambience, it is very clean and all the instructors are awesome. My new favourite is the flow step class on Monday 630pm!

This studio is heavenly. The teachers are wonderful and each bring their own special touches to a class. The perfect little sanctuary for taking a break away from a busy life.

lovely studio, amazing variety of classes and times to suit everyone. great teachers and beautiful view also!

Every visit so far, the studio has seemed light and basic but tidy, and is dimly/gently lit with muted warm lighting. Depending on the time of the practice session, there can also be audible music from surrounding businesses, sounds of weights being dropped, and other distracting noises that permeate quite loudly into the space that add to the level of focus needed to stay present in the session.The class facilitators vary in how they conduct their sessions - use if storytelling, their intensity of incense use, etc. They also state they lock the doors when a practice session is facilitated.Thus far all the session facilitators seem to facilitate from their mat at the front of the room, demonstrating and talking through their posture sequences. I have not yet observed or experienced any participant being provided adjustments or assistance in their expressions of asanas, or direction for less challenging variations other than stating of name of pose. Based on my experience so far, I'd say yoga sessions here are facilitated for individuals that have some experience with yoga. People that are completely beginners might find themselves a little lost and or fumbling a bit to follow.Excepting one facilitated yoga session I attended here where the combination of particularly intense smell of incense making me feel increasingly physically ill as the session progressed, and remembering being told the doors were locked making me very anxious because I didn't want to cause disruption to the session for the other participants, and so felt sick and trapped for about 2/3 of an hour, the other visits have been okay.While I can't see this being my home studio" for led practice
