While Melbourne is a hub for coffee enthusiasts and artists alike, more recently this city is becoming more well known for its budding yoga scene. There seems to be a new studio at every street corner, and our options are starting to feel overly saturated. Fear not! We’ve scoped out some of our favourites and want to share what makes these zen places stand out from the crowd. Here are our top picks for Melbourne’s most beautiful yoga studios:
1) Yoga 213
This hip-hop style of yoga offers a whole new spin on your average class. You can expect the funkiest selection of tunes to accompany your down dog, not overrule it. Offering hip-hop, chill and yin classes, you’ve got options to help lift you up or level you out. Not only are the teachers awesome, they’ve just recently relocated from South Yarra to a new studio in Richmond. The new space is full of ocean vibes and a giant oil painting of Biggie, to ensure the ultimate hip-hop experience.

2) Happy Melon
The Happy Melon studio is a truly authentic space, with it’s walls painted a fresh shade of white and splashes of bright colours throughout.

3) Move Yoga
The success and originality of the Move Yoga studio lies in its simplistic design and consistent concept. Functioning mainly as a vinyasa and power flow studio in a heated room, you can expect a strong and dynamic practice.

Restorative and yin options are also available for the days you need a more grounding experience.
