Hawthorn Malvern Yoga Centre

Hawthorn Malvern Yoga Centre is the best yoga studio I’ve ever been to. I’ve been attending classes here for 5+ years. Classes are suitable for absolute beginners and can take you to the advanced level. Jacqui and Shimon are welcoming, clear and supportive teachers who are experts in their field. I’d suggest this centre to young and old to learn about all aspects of yoga.

My wife and I have attended this yoga school since 2014. We absolutely love and appreciate yoga from Jacqui and Shimon's teaching. They have taught us invaluable techniques that we would never learn elsewhere. Not only has yoga brought us health, it also has improved our body postures in doing other sports. My wife has also been practicing yoga here while she's preganant throughout the period. Strongly recommended if you're pregnant and need some safe and beneficial stretch.

Jacqui and Shimon take amazing care and attention to guide you through the practice. I've been doing yoga on and off for years so I thought the 'beginner' class would be too basic, but it was actually the first time a teacher had taken the time to properly explain where hands, feet etc should be placed. Usually you end up copying other students for better or worse! With that first 10 week course I was able to confidently practice downward dog, salute the sun and many others at home, knowing I was doing them correctly and getting the full benefit from each pose. Highly recommended!!

I started going to Shimon and Jacqui about a year ago. Their beginner yoga coarse is very effective at teaching all the basic posses with their correct technique and has set me up wonderfully for completing stretches at home. They have courses for all levels and have a very progressive system where they build on your knowledge week to week and makes for a really enjoyable experience. As a young athlete I started going to their yoga classes to help my athletic performance and it has certainly helped. Shimon and Jacqui are both lovely people and incredible accommodating and understanding to any injuries you may have so don't be afraid to come down!

I've been practicing yoga with Jacqui and Shimon for several years and am currently at level 1. I thoroughly enjoy the meditation and relax and renew classes. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to attend yoga classes as regularly as I would like but still enjoy visiting casually. Jacqui and Shimon always welcome me when I come - they are dedicated, professional and so genuine towards their students. Thank you both for your wonderful teaching over the years.

Jacqui has been my yoga teacher for over 20 years, in that time I have experienced a variety of different teachers, some good, some not so, but I have always returned to where ever Jacqui has taught. I have found both Jacqui & Shimon's classes to be a solid grounding in all aspects of yoga, they stretch your body and calm your mind.

I love this yoga studio, I have been attending for five years now. I find Jacqui and Shimon are very clear in their instruction of the poses and if you have any health issues they are very clear to the individual about how to modify the pose to suit that person. I always walk taller and my body feels fantastic after a class.

A welcoming environment run by two passionate yoga teachers, Shimon and Jacqui have guided me on my journey for 4 years now, with many more to come. Keen attention to detail, with instructions explained with certainty, calmness and proficiency, makes for an excellent learning environment.The school offers graduated levels that allow the student to grow their skills, continue to be challenged, and then also offer the opportunity to perform a catch up" class and refresh some basic skills. Highly recommended."

My husband and I had attended many yoga classes in different studios before we found HMYC. Jacqui and Shimon are absolutely the best teachers we've ever met. Their instructions are always clear, pointing out your bad habits accurately, which makes us improve gradually. They care a lot about students and keep us peaceful and comfortable during practice. What we experienced here is pure yoga, not only physically but also philosophically. Highly recommend this studio to all yoga lovers.

Jacqui and Shimon's teaching practice is exemplary .I have attended their yoga classes over many years following them from venue to venue and so was delighted when they settled for good in Milton parade. It is so close to my home, I walk each week to class. Their teaching is an important part of my lifestyle as it is a major contributor in mataining strength in both body and mind.
